Senior IT Project Manager | Payments & SWIFT

£850/day Inside IR35 | London | Hybrid | 12-Month Contract

I'm currently working with a major international banking organisation that is looking to hire an experienced IT Project Manager to lead a number of high-profile payments and SWIFT transformation programmes.

This is an opportunity to join a well-funded technology change function delivering strategic initiatives across payment processing, ISO 20022 migration, SWIFT messaging, regulatory change, and core banking platforms.

What you'll be doing

  • Leading end-to-end delivery of complex payments technology projects
  • Managing budgets, plans, governance, RAID logs, and stakeholder communications
  • Working closely with Technology, Operations, Risk, Compliance, and Business stakeholders
  • Delivering SWIFT MT/MX and ISO 20022 migration initiatives
  • Coordinating testing, deployment, cutover, and implementation activities
  • Managing vendors and third-party delivery partners
  • Driving multiple workstreams within a regulated banking environment

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.
