Programme Manager | Investment Management

The Change Team provides a range of project services, and works in partnership with the Investment Technology Team.

The Change Portfolios managed by the Change Team are home to all projects across the company. Individual Change Portfolio Managers reporting to the Head of Change manage the flow of demand for project services, and work with business leaders to manage an overall change roadmap for the different parts of the business.

As projects move from the idea stage into feasibility, and then delivery, more and more of the Change and IT services will be pulled into these projects.  The Programme Manager will play a key role in the coordinated management of related projects that need to be managed together to achieve a common goal. Programme Managers will often coordinate the efforts of multiple project managers, and may also take direct responsibility for some of the most significant projects themselves.
