The Senior Project Manager Role
This is your opportunity to step into a highly visible leadership role at the centre of a flagship transformation.
As Delivery Lead, you’ll take end-to-end ownership of a multi-year analytics modernisation programme for a Tier-1 global financial services organisation. Reporting to the VP of EMEA Professional Services, you’ll guide the migration of enterprise reporting and analytics from legacy platforms (Tableau and Cognos) into the Qlik ecosystem - shaping how a global financial institution consumes and trusts its data.
You won’t just manage a project. You’ll lead a transformation with executive sponsorship, senior stakeholder visibility, and real enterprise impact.
If you’re an experienced project manager or leader ready for bigger scope, broader influence, and a seat at the table - this is that step up.
What makes this role interesting?
This is not a single workstream or contained delivery. It’s a complex, high-profile transformation with real scale and challenge. You’ll have the opportunity to:
- Lead a large-scale analytics migration spanning data ingestion, transformation, modelling, and BI platforms
- Own the full lifecycle — from mobilisation and planning through execution, testing, release, and transition into business-as-usual
- Shape project governance, reporting, and delivery standards across multiple teams
- Partner directly with business and technology leaders to translate strategic ambitions into tangible outcomes
- Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams across consulting, engineering, architecture, and customer stakeholders
- Drive strong data quality, governance, and testing practices in a highly regulated financial services environment
- Champion adoption of modern analytics capabilities into operational environments
This role offers the complexity, executive exposure, and cross-functional leadership that many project managers seek — but rarely get at this scale.
Here’s how you’ll be making an impact:
This project is more than a platform migration. It’s about modernising how a global financial institution uses data to make decisions.You will:
- Enable a shift from legacy reporting environments to a modern, scalable analytics ecosystem
- Bring clarity and structure to a multi-year transformation with multiple dependencies and stakeholders
- Identify risks early and keep delivery momentum strong, even in complex enterprise settings
- Ensure that data quality, governance, and testing are embedded — not an afterthought
- Create alignment between strategic objectives and delivery execution
- Build confidence at senior leadership level through clear communication and visible progress
- Your leadership will directly influence adoption, trust in data, and the long-term success of a high-profile analytics transformation.
We’re looking for a teammate with:
- 5–8 years of project delivery experience, with a strong track record delivering technology, data, or analytics initiatives
- Experience working within financial services (either directly within banks/financial institutions or delivering solutions to them via a vendor or consultancy)
- Comfort operating in large, complex enterprise environments with multiple stakeholders
- Familiarity with modern BI and analytics platforms (Qlik, Tableau, Cognos, or similar)
- Experience with Agile, hybrid, or structured delivery methodologies
- Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud (advantageous)
- The ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and manage competing priorities
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including experience engaging senior leaders
- A proactive mindset with strong organisational and problem-solving capability
The location for this role is:
United Kingdom: Winnersh, London or South East
