Overview
We are seeking an experienced and delivery-focused Project Manager to join our Change function, supporting high-impact transformation initiatives across Skipton International. This role sits within the Project Office and reports to the Senior Manager, Change, with responsibility for leading multiple project workstreams and line managing a team.

You will operate within a hybrid delivery environment, utilising Agile (including release trains) and traditional waterfall methodologies where appropriate. The role is essential in ensuring change is delivered safely, efficiently, and in line with regulatory requirements, while enabling the organisation to modernise, scale, and enhance both customer and colleague experiences.
