Leeds
£52,500 - £63,000 + Benefits
The Shillito Group are partnered with a well-established financial services organisation looking to hire a Senior Project Manager to lead complex business change and strategic projects across the organisation.
This is not a pure IT Project Manager role.
They need someone who has delivered large-scale change before, can bring structure to complexity, influence senior stakeholders and confidently lead projects from inception through to delivery.
You’ll play a key role in improving governance, delivery standards and overall project maturity within a growing change environment.
What they’re looking for:*A proven Senior Project Manager with experience delivering large scale business change
*Experience operating in regulated or complex environments (financial services experience is highly beneficial)
*Someone who understands governance properly, but knows delivery matters more than paperwork
*Experience managing senior stakeholders across operational, technology and business functions
*Strong commercial awareness, budget ownership and risk management capability
*Someone who can bring people with them, not just manage plans
*Formal PM qualifications (PRINCE2, MSP, APM, Agile etc.)
The type of person who succeeds here:*You’ve walked into ambiguity before and brought order to it
*You know how to build credibility quickly
*You’re comfortable challenging senior people when required
*You focus on outcomes, not activity
*You’ve delivered meaningful change - not just coordinated it
