Operating within the Global Project and Implementation (GPI) practice, this role manages multiple company-wide initiatives simultaneously — from scope definition and budget planning through to delivery and post-implementation review. A key part of this position involves building and maintaining strong relationships with client sponsors and internal leaders, including regular on-site engagement at the client's London office.

• Develop business insights through analysis of results and communicate key findings to management to support data-driven decision-making
• Secure appropriate resources and personnel in collaboration with management to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget
• Escalate barriers, risks, and issues that may impact timelines or deliverables in a timely and appropriate manner
• Manage the development of polished executive-level presentations and deliver findings to internal associates and external clients clearly and concisely
• Manage project status reporting in line with prescribed timelines for each engagement
• Develop measurement processes and methods to assess progress towards project goals and outcomes
• Manage project costs and budgets throughout the full delivery lifecycle
• Facilitate cross-training to support job rotation and minimise gaps in assignment coverage
• Provide coaching and constructive feedback to all project team members
• Mentor less experienced associates within the project management practice
