Lead work that shapes how our bank meets risk, compliance and client obligations

Why this role exists

We manage complex, bank‑wide work that cuts across channels, products and teams. As our Portfolio Manager, we need someone who can bring structure, clarity and momentum to a portfolio of high‑impact initiatives that protect our clients, support regulatory commitments and help the organisation deliver at scale. This role exists to ensure the right work is prioritised, progress is visible, and accountability is clear at senior level.

What you’ll do

  • Own and manage a portfolio of interconnected initiatives, ensuring they deliver the intended business and regulatory outcomes
  • Create clear plans, priorities and status views that help leaders make informed decisions
  • Establish and maintain strong accountability and decision structures across multiple teams
  • Identify delivery risks early, escalate where needed, and help unblock progress
  • Represent the portfolio in senior stakeholder forums with confidence and clarity
  • Bring order to complexity by connecting work across business, technology and operations

The team you’ll be part of

You’ll work within a senior, specialist function focused on client information, compliance and risk‑related change. Our work spans the full organisation, impacting multiple onboarding and servicing channels, operational teams and senior governance forums. While you won’t line‑manage a team, you’ll work closely with experienced leaders across personal and business banking, technology and operations, influencing delivery at scale.

Why this role is different

  • You’ll operate at enterprise level, with direct exposure to senior leaders and executive forums
  • You’ll influence outcomes across the bank, not just within a single team or programme
  • You’ll work in a highly trusted space with real accountability and visibility
  • You’ll join a team that values clear thinking, resilience, humour and straight talking
  • You’ll have the opportunity to grow into a broader leadership role over time

Ready to make an impact?

If you enjoy working at scale, thrive in complex environments and want to play a meaningful role in how a large organisation delivers critical work, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and be part of shaping outcomes that matter.
