Senior Finance Project Manager

12 Months Fixed-Term Contract

Starting Salary: c. £65,000 depending on skills and experience

Location: Bristol or York with 50% office attendance

This is a great job for someone who is an experienced Finance Change or Transformation Project Manager who enjoys driving complex change across Finance, Actuarial, Modelling, Governance and Controls.

This role would suit someone with experience of delivering change involving financial or actuarial models, controls, governance and operating models within Financial Services. You’ll be confident bringing together Finance, Actuarial, Risk, Control, Audit, Data and Technology stakeholders and turning complex remediation requirements into structured, measurable delivery outcomes. Experience of model governance, model inputs and outputs, validation, control remediation or model-related change would be particularly valuable.

A bit about the job:

As a Senior Finance Project Manager within the Data & Modelling Control Programme, you will lead delivery across Modelling and Governance & TOM, helping strengthen the control and assurance environment supporting critical Finance and Actuarial processes.

Within the Modelling workstream, you’ll coordinate activity to improve understanding and control of models, their inputs, transformations and outputs, supporting activities such as model inventory and documentation, validation, control assessment, remediation and evidencing that models are operating as intended.

Alongside this, you’ll support the implementation of governance, accountability and operating model changes required to sustain those improvements. Working across Finance, Actuarial, Risk, Control, Audit, Data and Technology, you’ll manage delivery plans, dependencies, risks, decisions and specialist SME input, ensuring changes move from programme remediation into sustainable BAU ownership.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Significant experience delivering Finance, Actuarial, Modelling or financial control transformation, including regulatory, audit, risk or control remediation.
• Experience coordinating model-related change, including model documentation, inputs and outputs, validation, control assessment, remediation or assurance.
• Strong ability to work with specialist Finance and Actuarial SMEs, translating complex technical activities into structured and achievable delivery plans.
• Proven governance, risk and dependency management capability, particularly where delivery relies on scarce specialist expertise.
• Excellent stakeholder management across Finance, Actuarial, Risk, Control, Data and Technology.
• Strong Finance transformation experience is essential, with actuarial or modelling knowledge highly desirable.
