Job Description 

Post Title: Project Coordinator – 12-month contract (potential to become permanent) 

Reports to: Operational Change Manager  

Salary Range: negotiable depending on experience and qualifications  

 

The Company: Over our 50-year history Lowes has sought to be a positive chapter in many lives. A family firm in so many respects and a successful, innovative, client-focused, expanding business we’re looking to welcome our next chapter with a new colleague. Is it you? 

 

Established in 1971, Lowes has an unrivalled history of providing Independent Financial Advice to a wide range of people throughout the country. Over the years the company's personal approach to financial planning has helped clients prosper and Lowes is regularly recognised as one of the UK's top 100 Independent Financial Advisers.

You will work closely with our Operational Change Manager and cross functional departments to ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and meet the desired quality standards.

This is an exciting career opportunity for the right candidate with plenty of scope to develop and take on additional responsibility. We pride ourselves on investing in our people. If you want to join an organisation where you can make a real difference, then Lowes could be for you.


Although initially a 12-month contract, this role does have the potential to become permanent.

 

The ideal candidate will need:

  • Exceptional organisational and time management skills
  • Ability to communicate with stakeholders at all levels, both internally and externally
  • A high level of accuracy, attention to detail and ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment
  • Confidence to challenge the status quo

  • To be a self-starter with a strong desire to hit deadlines and targets
  • Knowledge of how investment platforms operate
  • To be proficient in keeping accurate records
  • To possess a ‘can do’ attitude and enthusiasm to improve the way things are done
  • Resilience to overcome resistance and obstacles


Specific Tasks include:  

  • Assist in the development and maintenance of project plans, action logs and other project documentation
  • Coordinate project activities and ensure all team members are on track with assigned tasks
  • Monitor overall project progress and track key milestones
  • Conduct regular project meetings and provide updates to stakeholders
  • Identify potential risks and issues and develop contingency plans
  • Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders
  • Prepare and distribute project documentation, reports, and presentations
  • Source regular updates from stakeholders
  • Contribute ideas and solutions to problems
  • Provide input into longer term project strategies
  • Collate data, draw conclusions and configure into a presentable format to aid decision making and allow progress tracking
  • Deliver updates to the organisation
  • Respond directly to questions relating to projects from the board and executive team
  • Write internal communications
  • Responsible for diary management
  • Test systems and software as required for the project
  • Track progress and provide MI on KPI’s specific to the project
