Junior PMO - Institutional Payments

G MASS Consulting are supporting a leading capital markets firm as they strengthen their institutional payments and settlements capability. Our client requires a dedicated PMO to support delivery of a complex programme focused on large-value payments, cross-border settlements and market infrastructure integration.

This is a great opportunity to join at the early stages of a major build-out, working closely with senior stakeholders to help structure, track and drive progress across a complex, fast-moving programme covering SWIFT, TARGET2, CLS and securities settlement flows.

Responsibilities

• Provide day-to-day PMO support across the payments and settlements programme, ensuring multiple workstreams stay on track.
• Maintain programme plans, milestones, RAID logs and governance documentation.
• Coordinate activity between technology, operations, treasury, compliance and other business teams.
• Track progress against regulatory and operational deliverables (e.g. ISO 20022 migration, CSDR settlement discipline).
• Identify delivery risks and escalate issues as needed.
• Support senior stakeholders with clear reporting and structured programme oversight.

Requirements

• 1+ years’ experience in PMO, project coordination or junior project management roles.
• Experience within institutional payments, capital markets operations, or market infrastructure is essential - ideally including exposure to SWIFT, TARGET2, CLS, RTGS or clearing and settlement processes.
• Knowledge of relevant standards and regulations (e.g. ISO 20022 migration, CSDR, settlement finality) is a strong advantage.
• Highly organised, proactive and ambitious, with a delivery-focused mindset.
• Confident working in a fast-paced and evolving environment.
