Investor Choice Project Manager

Yesterday London, United Kingdom

Provides project management services on a multi-year or major project, applying functional expertise to improve project results.

Job Description

Investor Choice is a capability that is redefining how investment stewardship is delivered-and we're entering a critical phase of scaled delivery across the U.K. and Europe.

This role sits at the centre of program execution, ensuring that Investor Choice is delivered in a disciplined, coordinated, and scalable way. You will drive follow-through across a complex set of workstreams-supporting planning, governance, documentation, and tracking-while ensuring clear ownership and accountability as the programme evolves from pilot to scaled implementation.

This is a highly visible role requiring strong organisation, attention to detail, structured thinking, and the ability to keep multiple priorities aligned as the program evolves from pilot to scaled delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Driving program discipline and tracking
    Own core PMO processes including milestone tracking, status reporting, and action management across workstreams to ensure delivery stays on track
  • Managing governance and decision-making processes
    Coordinate Core Team, Steering Committee, and Sponsor Committee governance, ensuring timelines are managed, and decisions are documented and actioned
  • Supporting pilot delivery and expansion readiness
    Maintain integrated plans across pilot delivery workstreams and support research efforts and readiness for each phase of implementation and expansion
  • Coordinating cross-functional activity
    Bring together inputs across teams (e.g. Legal, Product, Technology, Operations, Distribution, US Investor Choice) to maintain alignment and avoid fragmentation
  • Identifying risks, dependencies, and issues
