We have a new opportunity for an experienced Project Manager to join our risk and regulatory portfolio on a 6-month fixed term contract. You'll work closely with the Delivery Lead, third party suppliers, internal delivery teams and stakeholders to collaboratively deliver a major upgrade of a key technology for AXA. Reporting to the Delivery Lead, you'll set up and drive project meetings, capturing, driving and monitoring issues and risks. You'll work across the project team to ensure delivery of required outcomes to time, cost and quality.

• Managing third party delivery partners and internal delivery teams to ensure a successful project outcome that enables desired benefits.
• Identifying and proactively managing project stakeholders, including third parties, ensuring effective engagement at all levels.
• Reporting progress at regular intervals, advising project steering committee of any deviation from the plan, escalating risks and issues as appropriate.
• Responsibility for ensuring that issues, risks and dependencies are identified, owned, managed, mitigated, resolved or accepted as appropriate.
• Managing internal and external project communication, including managing information flows between governance layers and any internal or external teams or suppliers.
• Implementing the agreed governance framework and producing relevant artefacts, in line with the project governance requirements.
• Tracking and controlling project spend, reporting costs and raising appropriate escalations where needed.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means attending the office, visiting clients or attending industry events. We're also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

• An industry recognised project management qualification e.g. APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) with demonstrable project management experience.
• Ability to influence, bring teams together and work collaboratively towards a goal.
