Please read in full before applying

We need someone from a technical background (ideally development within digital technology products) who is passionate about technology, who understands technology and spends time looking out for what is new in the market. Whether this be gaining new qualifications / certifications or being in touch with modern technology via forums etc.

The role is a Senior Project / Programme / Portfolio Management position, but we need this person to almost be lighting up rooms when discussing project delivery with C-Level / Partner Level people within the business. You will also be influencing key vendors with your ideas, talking about modern digital related technology, products, AI etc. They want you to think, wow and impress the businessbut also demonstrate leading the way.

There is a written side to it too, where you will be writing and designing high level, strategic technical documents for the business to digest, prior to the Project executions. There will be several meetings that you will be running with key stakeholders in both the business and technology, where you would have to be confident enough to hold your own, run the meetings and be prepared to be challengedby sometimes difficult stakeholders on occasions!

They want this to be mainly about business outcomes and orientation (via technology of course). Be passionate about what impact the projects will have on the business and be energetic about articulating what positive impacts these will have on the business.

We can look at Digital, Change and Transformation Project / Programme Managers but you must have a technical background. You will come from a Professional Services background (Insurance, Legal / Law, Accountancy etc) or Finance and successful start-up company backgrounds (technology driven) would be considered.

As this has global coverage, there may be some early / late calls. You must be prepared for this. There will be give and take with times, along with some flexibility if things are becoming quite taxing. However, we want someone dedicated and definitely not someone who wants a hardened 9am 5pm kind of position!
