Overall purpose of the role

Barclays are seeking a highly experienced Senior Project Manager to join a leading financial institution undergoing a significant strategic transformation within its Financial Crime function. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of financial crime operations within a major global bank. The urgency of this position is rated as a 2 out of 4, meaning we are actively seeking qualified candidates.


Responsibilities:

  • Lead and manage complex, multi-faceted projects within a major strategic financial crime program, contributing to market leadership in these operations.

  • Collaborate effectively with key stakeholders, including MLROs, risk officers, compliance officers, and senior management (Director and MD levels).

  • Oversee the comprehensive review and enhancement of systems, processes, and supplier relationships to optimize efficiency and effectiveness.

  • Drive the successful implementation of new operating models and system enhancements to support the strategic objectives.


Qualifications & Experience:

  • Experience in a Senior Project Manager or Programme Manager role within a Tier 1 bank is required. Consistent performance at this level is essential, demonstrating a history of successfully delivering complex projects.

  • Proven ability to deliver large, complex change initiatives across multiple business units and international borders within a Tier 1 banking environment is paramount.

  • Experience in managing complex contracts is essential. While experience in financial crime is highly desirable, a strong PM background with a history of success on complex projects takes precedence.

  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills are critical, with demonstrated experience influencing and collaborating effectively with senior leadership (Director and MD levels).



About Barclays

Diversity

Barclays aims to foster a culture where individuals of all backgrounds feel confident in bringing their whole selves to work, feel included and their talents are nurtured, empowering them to contribute fully to Barclays vision and goals.

 

Hybrid Working

Barclays is currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. Barclays is flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. Barclays also has a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances
