Project Manager- London

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Project Manager to work for our client within the Banking sector. This is initially a 4 month contract with the potential to extend and will be a Hybrid role that will be based in London.

One Project Manager will support the Head of Transformation by providing hands-on programme delivery leadership to design and drive the go-live enablement approach (how we package the change, “sell” the value, and train/enable the function) and to run the go-live readiness tracking and governance to ensure we are genuinely ready to launch.

The role strengthens orchestration across Sponsors/SLT, SMEs, Methodology, Digital/Tech and BAU owners, maintaining delivery discipline and reducing risk from fragmented enablement and unmanaged dependencies.

Responsibilities

• Lead the development and delivery of the go-live and enablement strategy for a major transformation programme.
• Create clear and engaging communications that explain upcoming changes, benefits, and impacts to stakeholders.
• Design and coordinate training and adoption activities for a large global workforce.
• Manage the delivery of communications, training materials, and engagement activities across multiple teams and regions.
• Establish and maintain programme readiness tracking, dashboards, and reporting to monitor launch preparedness.
• Facilitate governance meetings, manage actions and risks, and support key implementation decisions.
• Track dependencies across multiple workstreams, ensuring issues are identified, escalated, and resolved promptly.
• Plan and oversee post-launch support activities, driving continuous improvement and successful adoption.
