Delivery Manager - Payments, Card Schemes & Open Banking

Contract | 12 months | Hybrid, London | Start September 2026

We are supporting the delivery of a major payments transformation and are looking for a senior delivery/project manager to embed within the programme team.

The programme centres on a large-scale customer migration onto a modern open banking platform, so this role suits someone who has run complex migrations in a payments environment and can hold both the delivery plan and the stakeholders together while it happens.

This is a hands-on delivery role embedded within an established consulting-led team, so you will need the credibility to operate alongside senior stakeholders from day one, and the rigour to keep a live migration programme moving to plan.

What we are looking for

The strongest candidates will bring genuine experience across all three of the following, which together make this a specialist profile:

• Customer migration on a live programme, ideally at scale
• Card schemes experience
• Open banking experience

Alongside that core, you will need:

• A strong project management and delivery background, owning plans, timelines and delivery to milestone
• Excellent stakeholder management, comfortable across technical and business audiences
• Design and requirements management, including summarising customer use cases and shaping solution design
• API experience and a working understanding of how modern payments and open banking integrations fit together

Detail

Around 12 months, hybrid with time on-site in London, starting as early as September 2026. This is a specialist role and the process is moving quickly.
