Description
Unauthorised Trading, Risk & Control - Front Office Project Manager
About the Role:
Our tier 1 financial services client is looking to the future and the formation of a designated team to be branded Business Model Delivery and Change'. The climate is ever shifting - often in terms of products but also regulations and other bodies which require both process and model change. This group will contain individuals which are not assigned to any one specific business area, but will be spread across all areas, and as projects require. A contract is being offered as each of the drivers is project based and therefore headcount will ramp up and reduce aligned to the book of work.
They predict 2015 and 2016 is likely to only involve ramp up and therefore lengthy contracts are guaranteed'. Another bonus in relation to this role & group is the stakeholder face-off - will be senior and varied. As the roles are strategic in nature, heads of business and heads of group, will almost certainly be the first point of contact, although obviously filtering down as the projects progress. The projects themselves will be divided in terms of delivery' or strategic'. Delivery means those strategic projects which have been signed off and need to be done. Strategic will mean scoping, planning, mapping out options, discussing and researching via external bodies etc.
Key points of consideration for applicants:
- Hands-on Change-the-Bank, delivery within the Front Office
- This is part of a formal risk and control function within the Front Office that is separate and distinct from desk supervisors and the Compliance department.
- Set up, structured and run large scale programmes of work from scratch - getting buy-in from high level stakeholders who need convincing
- Highlight your stakeholders in the wider business - they are looking for Front Office experience, facing off to desk heads, COO's etc
- Drive solutions - Initiate something out of nothing from a project perspective
