About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to deliver digital and operational changes to Newcastle Strategic Solutions clients. You will use project management skills and stakeholder management expertise to manage the delivery of our proposition and changes to products and services to our managed service clients.

As Project Manager, you will manage projects from initiation through to closure in line with time, cost and quality expectations. You will bring governance and drive the delivery of change across our internal business areas and client outsourcing service. You will be a key point of contact for clients during projects and will develop client relationships through project meetings and workshops.

About You

You will have a strong track-record of delivering digital and operational changes, ideally in the Financial Services sector/ client outsourcing service.
