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.

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

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
