Job Description

Project Manager - Finance Transformation

Salary : £80,000 - £100,000 (dependent on experience)

Location : London (hybrid)

Our client, a leading name in the retail industry, is seeking an experienced and dynamic Project Manager with strong Change Management expertise to play a critical role in their Finance Transformation programme. This is a permanent position, based in London with a hybrid working model.

About the Role

This high-impact role sits at the intersection of technology, finance, and change. The successful candidate will lead end-to-end delivery of transformation initiatives-ranging from system upgrades to process redesign-while also driving the people-focused aspects of change to ensure adoption and long-term success.

You'll thrive in this role if you're results-driven, action-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, agile retail environment. Working cross-functionally, you'll bring clarity, direction, and pace to complex programmes.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management

  • Deliver end-to-end finance transformation projects, including new software implementations and process improvements.
  • Own and manage project plans, RAID logs, timelines, and stakeholder maps.
  • Drive accountability across workstreams to ensure timely, quality delivery.
  • Collaborate with IT, Finance, and third-party vendors to ensure alignment to business needs.
  • Maintain strong governance, reporting, and communication throughout all project phases.

Change Management

  • Define and lead the change strategy for finance transformation.
  • Conduct impact assessments and manage change risks effectively.
  • Develop and execute communication, training, and stakeholder engagement plans.
  • Guide teams through cultural, behavioural, and process changes.
  • Serve as a trusted change advocate across the organisation.

    • Experience & Skills Required

  • Proven track record of delivering finance transformation projects in a retail or fast-paced commercial setting.
  • Strong experience managing both technical (systems / process) and people (change / communications) elements of transformation.
  • Solid understanding of finance systems (ERP, EPM, reporting tools) and process re-engineering.
  • Advanced project planning and risk management skills.
  • Proactive, hands-on approach with the ability to simplify complexity and deliver swiftly.
  • Confident communicator with strong stakeholder management abilities, including at senior levels.
  • Change Management certification (e.g. PROSCI) or equivalent experience highly desirable.
  • Project Management qualification (e.g. Prince2, PMP, Agile) is a plus.

    • If you're passionate about delivering meaningful change and want to be at the heart of a transformative journey within a dynamic retail organisation, this could be your next big opportunity.
