Summary

We are recruiting a Program Manager within an EPMO; you will sit where corporate strategy meets real-world execution. After a period of rapid growth through mergers, your core mission is to help shape the Bank's future—particularly around post-merger integration and lifting compliance capabilities.
You’ll partner closely with business leaders to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and frontline delivery, making the complex simple and communicating efficiently across all levels of the business.

- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Bring together flexible delivery teams (including business analysts, project coordinators, subject matter experts, and external partners) and unite them behind a shared vision.

- Trusted Partnership: Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, business leads, and the Office of the CEO (OCEO) to ensure timely, fit-for-purpose solutions.
- Transparent Reporting: Provide clear, accurate, and meaningful status updates on project health, budget performance, and benefit realisation.

- Simplifying Complexity: A natural talent for cutting through noise and complexity, lifting the burden on the frontline, and driving concise, efficient outcomes.
- Post-Merger & Compliance Savvy: Experience working within post-merger environments and compliance uplifts is highly desirable.
