  • Ensure projects adhere to the Hiscox Change Delivery Framework and foster project transparency, as well as accurate and timely reports on project status, schedule, and costs to the Portfolio Manager and PMO.
  • Manage projects across the entire UK change portfolio, which may require managing multiple projects simultaneously and/or managing a series of dependent projects.
  • Provide support and input into the portfolio planning process by engaging in pre-project sizing, skillset, and dependency mapping.
  • Build strong, productive relationships within the business, the change team, and with third parties to deliver effective solutions.

Requirements:

  • More than 3 years of Project Management experience in the financial services industry, with a track record of successfully delivering projects.

  • Excellent stakeholder, conflict, and influence management skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, capable of working with people at all levels within and external to the business.
  • MS Project or other structured project management tools.
  • Experience working as a Project Manager in a multiple project environment with challenging timeframes and deliverables.

  • Experience with both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
  • Proficiency in MS Project, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and similar tools.
  • Intellect and gravitas to influence and gain credibility with business personnel and management.
  • Be creative, proactive, logical, and innovative, and will not just accept the status quo.
  • Be highly results-driven, with the energy and determination to succeed in a very fast-paced environment where the pace of response and leadership is critical to success.
