Project Manager

LGT Wealth Management was formed around a clear and uncompromising vision – to bring global best practice in building institutional quality investment portfolios to Australian clients.

With a shared passion for building an uncompromised business – we created something new from the ground up. A chance to leave behind the things that weren’t working, while enhancing the things that were. Our authentic and personalised client-first commitment. Our entrepreneurial spirit. Our focus in best-in-class advice. And our intimate understanding of the Australian private wealth landscape.

In 2022 we became a part of the LGT Group, who shared our entrepreneurial spirit, long-term approach and private-ownership model. Today, with the global expertise, stability, and capability of LGT behind us, we can work without being reliant on markets or margins, with a singular focus on giving our clients the advice and deep expertise they need for generations to come.

As our team continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Project Manager to join our Delivery team on a 12-month fixed-term contract. This role will support strategic change initiatives across the LGT Wealth Management business, with a particular focus on financial products implementation projects.

In this role, you will partner with business stakeholders and Business Owners to facilitate project initiation, define delivery approaches, and drive successful outcomes. You will be accountable for the end-to-end delivery of projects, managing both business and technology workstreams while ensuring key milestones, risks, and dependencies are effectively managed.

If you have a proven track record delivering financial products implementation projects, enjoy solving complex problems, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you.
