Project Manager - Financial Services and Pensions Sector

FDM is a global business and technology consultancy seeking a Project Manager to join a leading organisation within the Financial Services and Pensions sector. This is initially a 6 month contract with very good prospects to extend and will be a hybrid role that will be based in Cheshire.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager to support the delivery of a major regulatory change programme. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing key workstreams within a Value for Money (VfM) initiative, working closely with Legal, Investment Solutions and Commercial stakeholders to deliver business-focused outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • Manage and deliver multiple workstreams within a regulatory change programme.
  • Lead the Contractual Override and Future Default Estate workstreams, ensuring objectives are delivered on time and within scope.
  • Engage and coordinate with key business stakeholders across Legal, Investment Solutions and Commercial teams.
  • Identify, manage and mitigate project risks, issues and dependencies.
  • Provide clear project governance, reporting and communication to senior stakeholders.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

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.
