Senior Project Manager

About the Role

As a Senior Project Manager within the Lending business, you will lead the delivery of large, complex client projects across the full lending lifecycle. You will manage high-visibility delivery, coordinate multi-disciplinary global teams, and ensure predictable outcomes across scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk. This role blends delivery excellence, domain expertise, commercial stewardship, and executive-level stakeholder management.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Taking full responsibility for all aspects of managing your portfolio of projects, including detailed budgeting and tracking, project administration and leading a diverse team of consultants and specialists day-to-day.
  • Influencing client and stakeholders at a high level by careful, confident factual presentation of relevant project statuses, using your ability to understand and articulate alternative approaches that drive meaningful governance of the projects.
  • Applying quality standards and holding teams accountable for delivering according to contractual agreements; using change control procedures to reflect deviations from scope, timing or assumptions made in project definition.
  • Mastering a complex ecosystem of enterprise project management tools such as Planview and Monday.com to develop and maintain accurate project plans, analyse risks and issues, forecast resource usage levels and budget overruns or underruns, and generate invoices, status reports and other PM deliverables consistent with best practice.
  • Showing confident ownership and coordination even under pressure when running video conferences, team meetings or when visiting client sites as sometimes required to represent company onsite for key client projects. You will develop your abilities as an intuitive communicator.
  • Thinking beyond the obvious and actively working your network across all functions to identify possible process improvements, helping the company succeed and deliver even more value to our clients.

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.
