About Your Team

The GPS Distribution Service and Support team as a whole are responsible for providing exemplary client service, becoming a trusted partner for our clients during their periods of change.

The Client Project Management Team primarily look after projects for Workplace Investing clients (Trustees and Scheme Sponsors). The team is split into three sub-teams with a Team Leader managing day-to-day operation and management of each team. These teams are then responsible for the end-to-end project management, including admin and governance tasks. The purpose of the Project Manager is to be the single point of contact for the client during a project and support any change management queries.

About Your Role

• This individual will be responsible for the delivery of client/bulk projects (bulk projects are where the change impacts more than one client)

• Demonstrable project management skills to facilitate and support successful delivery of client projects
• Strong problem-solving and escalation / resolution management
• Auditing and ensuring projects are on track and are following the agreed ways of working (regarding project artefacts and processes)

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivery of projects for clients, both in the capacity of Lead/sole Project Manager and as a supporting Project Manager for other team members. We are looking for an individual with proven experience of managing projects, ideally within Workplace Investing.

Business engagement is a key part of this role and you will be required to work with multiple business stakeholders - both internal and external. Excellent communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills are key to success and therefore are essential.

The right candidate will also be pro-active in determining any other needs or concerns of the client and any requirements necessary to improve the effectiveness of the Client Project Management Team, using their industry knowledge and experience to seek continuous improvement in client service.

About You

• A growth mindset - comfortable operating in uncertainty and open and willing to learn on the job
• Project Management experience, and ideally PRINCE 2/equivalent certification
• A good understanding Savings and Investment products like ISAs SIPPs and Pensions
• Experience in Defined Contributions/Final Salary operations administration & implementation
• Knowledge of investment and retirement market
