Job Description:
We are looking for a structured, analytical and proactive individual to independently manage lower-complexity projects and to support Project Managers in the execution and governance of larger Change, Transformation and Transition (Lift-Out) initiatives across Global Client Delivery (GCD) locations. The ideal candidate will bring clarity through data, planning and disciplined tracking in environments where stakeholders and requirements are still evolving, ensuring that Business Leads, Tech Leads and cross-functional teams have an accurate and timely view of progress, risks and decisions. The role is the analytical and governance engine of the Projects team – owning project plans, RAID logs, toll-gate evidence, KPI and capacity reporting and the project management tooling that the team runs on. This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports, reporting to the Head of Projects.
Key Responsibilities:
Project Planning & Execution Support
Independently manage assigned low-to-medium complexity projects (e.g. Transition Lite work transfers, single-workstream change or process improvement initiatives, ad hoc GCD initiatives) from discovery through to closure, using the SWAT and Toll Gate frameworks
Act as the delivery partner to a Project Manager on large or critical Transition and Transformation projects, owning defined workstreams, deliverables and follow-ups end to end
Build and maintain integrated project plans, milestone schedules and detailed transition plans (deliverables, dates and named owners) and keep them baselined and current as scope evolves
Track delivery against scope, schedule and success criteria and flag variances to the Project Manager / Head of Projects early, with proposed corrective actions
Governance, Toll Gates & Decision Support
Own the toll-gate evidence pack for assigned projects – tracking TG1/TG2/TG3 artefacts (Transition Acceptance Form, Regulatory & Client Consent assessment, Tech/IT inventory, KC/KT plan, training sign-offs, Go-Live approval) and ensuring evidence is complete, filed and sign-offs secured on time
Prepare materials for Tier 2 (weekly tactical) and Tier 3 (operational) governance forums – agendas, status packs, action and decision logs – and facilitate Tier 3 forums for projects you own
Maintain decision logs capturing what was decided, by whom (Business / Tech / PM), when and why, and follow through on resulting actions
Contribute to the Tier 1 (monthly strategic oversight) and PMO review packs by consolidating status, risks, escalations and change requests across the portfolio
Risk, Issue, Dependency & Action Management
Maintain the RAID log (risks, assumptions/actions, issues, dependencies) for assigned projects, categorising by type (business / technical / execution) and impact, and driving owners to closure
Analyse trends across risks and issues to identify systemic blockers and cross-project dependencies, and bring them to the Project Manager / Head of Projects with options
Prepare escalation notes that clearly state the blocker, impact, options and decision required, for use in the appropriate governance tier
Co-create mitigation plans with Business Leads, Tech Leads and cross-functional…
