Help Shape Platform-Led Change in Financial Services
The Role
We’re looking for experienced Project Managers with deep insight into the business and operating models of wealth managers, asset managers, and investment platforms. You’ll work closely with top-tier clients on complex platform transformation and migration programmes—often involving systems like Aladdin, Avaloq, Cinqor, FNZ, and Charles River.

- Deliver end-to-end regulatory or strategic change across multiple workstreams and stakeholders
- Own project governance, tracking, and reporting—ensuring transparency and proactive risk management
- Collaborate with internal teams and client stakeholders to align priorities and ensure successful outcomes
- Guide and support client teams through change adoption, training, and business readiness
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a Project Manager in Wealth & Asset Management, Capital Markets, or Banking & Payments
- Solid exposure to investment platforms or products—particularly Aladdin, Avaloq, Cinqor, FNZ, or Charles River
- Strong understanding of business architecture in investment firms—front office, operations, and middle office
- Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with matrixed stakeholder structures
- Effective communicator with a consultative mindset and ability to influence change
