As part of the Change Development Programme, you’ll have the opportunity to build your career in one of our key change roles. Here’s what you can expect as a Project Manager.

Help to motivate change teams and encourage collaboration amongst colleagues.

Identify risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies (RAID) within a project and develop solutions to these problems.

Plan & deliver using the most appropriate change methodology and have the ability to recognise when something does not work.

Facilitate meetings with our stakeholders and technical experts and ensure there is clear communication and continuous improvement.

Where you’ll be working

You'll join our Change teams, helping deliver strategic programmes, technology initiatives and business improvements. Working with experienced change professionals, you'll support projects, analyse business needs and turn ideas into reality. With £600 million invested in change each year, you'll see how change is delivered at scale.
