We are headhunting a Senior Client Change Manager to lead a high-profile portfolio for a global consultancy, embedded within the Securities Services division of a Tier 1 Investment Bank.

This is a "heavy-hitter" role designed for a delivery specialist who can navigate complex stakeholder landscapes while maintaining deep technical domain knowledge. You will have end-to-end ownership of a change portfolio across Fund Admin, Middle Office, Transfer Agency, and Custody.

• Relationship & Portfolio Orchestration: Act as the primary interface for the end-client, translating their strategy into internal consultancy delivery roadmaps.

• Influencing Without Authority: Manage a high volume of often unconnected Change Requests (CRs) across a multi-layered banking environment.

• Team Leadership: Direct a team of PMs and BAs to ensure commercial viability, quality of delivery, and benefit realization.

• Commercial Management: Maintain a sharp eye on SLAs, KPIs, and the impact of cost-drift on client approvals and project margins.

• Securities Services Mastery: You must possess a deep technical understanding of Fund Services, Custody, or Middle Office operations.

• Portfolio Leadership: Proven track record of directing multiple complex workstreams and managing delivery teams simultaneously.

• Consultative DNA: High emotional intelligence-able to lead difficult stakeholder conversations and effectively "tell the story" of change.

• Delivery Track Record: Experience within a Tier 1 Banking or major Global Consultancy environment is essential.

This is an immediate requirement. Our client is looking to review CVs within the next 24-48 hours to move straight to interview. If you have a "people-first" leadership style combined with a strong sense of urgency and deep domain expertise, we want to hear from you.
