Programme Manager - Client Onboarding & Migration (Day rate contract/ Inside IR35)
Location: Basildon, Essex — on-site 5 days per week
Contract type: Day-rate contract, Inside IR35
Right to work: Valid UK right to work required
The role
A global payments and financial technology organisation is bringing new clients onto its platform and needs an experienced programme manager to own those onboarding and migration programmes end to end. You'll be the single point of accountability for delivery — running the plan, the team and the client relationship — from initiation through go-live and into service transition.
What you'll do
- Own end-to-end delivery of large client onboarding and implementation programmes, covering both greenfield builds and migration of existing customer portfolios onto the platform
- Manage senior client stakeholders directly — setting and holding expectations on scope, plan, deliverables and timelines
- Lead a matrix team of project managers and workstream leads across development, testing, security, training, operations and business solutions
- Establish and run programme governance; manage risks, issues, dependencies and change; control cost, time and quality
- Work closely with the PMO to keep delivery aligned to methodology and governance standards

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Nice to have (not essential)
- Background in payments, merchant acquiring, card processing or fintech platform delivery

Note: this is a strong generalist programme management role first — domain payments experience is a bonus, not a gate.
