Senior Project Manager – Delivery Assurance & Transformation
Strategic Transformation Programmes
Location: London
Albany Beck is seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to join a high-profile strategic transformation function within a leading Financial Services organisation.
This is a unique opportunity for a senior Project Manager, Programme Manager Delivery Lead, or Assurance professional to move beyond programme delivery and focus on what makes large-scale transformation succeed or fail. Working alongside senior assurance leaders, you will conduct deep-dive reviews of critical programmes, identify root causes of delivery challenges, and help shape improvements that strengthen future delivery performance. The role focuses on independent programme assurance, recovery, governance, and delivery excellence across complex business, technology, and data transformation initiatives.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct in-depth delivery assurance reviews across complex transformation programmes.
- Assess programme health, delivery risks, governance effectiveness, planning quality, and execution capability.
- Identify root causes of delivery issues and provide evidence-based recommendations for improvement.
- Support programme recovery and remediation activities on challenged initiatives.
- Work closely with senior stakeholders to challenge assumptions, validate delivery approaches, and improve outcomes.
- Contribute to the development of delivery assurance frameworks, review methodologies, and best practice standards.
- Track follow-up actions and ensure recommendations are implemented effectively.
- Help identify recurring themes across programmes and drive wider delivery improvement initiatives.
