As a Barclays Project Manager, you will join our growing team and work on the Loan IQ program. It will be your accountability to manage the end-to-end project lifecycle. You will be engaging with and managing the expectations of senior stakeholders as well as mentoring and coaching junior members of the team. Further to this you will be required to ensure you manage all dependencies across the different work streams, which will be an integral part of the role.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.
