Role Purpose

This is an opportunity for an enthusiastic individual to become a core part of the Momentum Institutional Investments Change team. The successful candidate is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of strategic, regulatory and operational initiatives, ensuring delivery against agreed scope, timelines and governance standards. The role requires a hands-on approach, with active involvement in the detail of delivery, including aspects of business analysis, solution definition, process optimisation, and implementation activities. The incumbent is expected to take ownership beyond coordination, contributing directly to the development of project plans, and in some cases assisting the business with refining business requirements, and operational processes.

The role further includes accountability for enabling structured change adoption across impacted stakeholders, ensuring that the rationale, impact, and strategic alignment of initiatives are clearly understood and embedded in the business.

• Utilization of AI tools
• Experience working within structured governance environments
• Formal project management and business analysis certification or qualifications (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile)
• Exposure to regulatory or transformation initiatives will be advantageous

The Project Manager role includes responsibility for delivery, business analysis, and change integration within initiatives. While collaboration with specialist roles may occur, accountability for successful delivery, requirements definition, and stakeholder alignment remains with the Project Manager.
