SOX Project Manager

Project Manager - SOX Control Framework Enhancement

6-month contract £550 per day Hybrid (minimum two days a week in the office) Edinburgh

Strong financial controls aren't just a regulatory box to tick. They're the foundation of trust in everything we do. We're enhancing our SOX Control Framework, and we're looking for an experienced Project Manager to help deliver it on time, on budget and to a high standard.

The opportunity

This is a high-visibility, six-month role at the centre of a programme that brings together Finance, Risk, Audit and Technology. You'll own the project plans, controls and resource plans, and make sure they stay aligned with the wider programme. You'll also lead a team through the full project lifecycle. You'll set objectives and support each person's development, and you'll build strong relationships with stakeholders across multiple franchises, functions and levels, up to senior leadership.

You'll also prepare the business for change. That means making sure the right people are engaged at the right time, so that new controls are embedded and handed over smoothly rather than simply switched on.

What you'll bring

You're a proven project manager with a recognised qualification such as PRINCE2, PMP or Agile (or an equivalent). You've delivered large-scale change, regulatory remediation or control enhancement programmes. You also have a solid grasp of SOX, financial controls, governance, risk management and audit remediation.

We'd also like to see:

• Strong programme planning, financial management and reporting skills


• A track record of managing risks, issues, dependencies and competing priorities
