The challenge

Travelex is an iconic global brand with a rich heritage in foreign currency. A market leading foreign exchange specialist, the business covers the entire value chain of the foreign exchange industry. We need a strong Project Manager to own delivery of projects on behalf of, and for, the business, working closely with the Transformation Director and supporting global team of experts as they work to grow the business.

What you will do:

You will lead a variety of challenging and exciting projects which deliver against our key strategic pillars. A solid understanding of the end-to-end change lifecycle, including process mapping and requirements, in addition to regular project management activity is required. A typical day may include you creating a business case, managing risks and issues, controlling the budget alongside general planning, governance, and reporting.

How we deliver change at Travelex is the key to successful delivery, so stakeholder management, relationship building and working collaboratively with global leads to define the strategy, create action plans and track metrics is super important.

We have a 'one team' approach, so successfully working alongside other Project Managers and other key business teams/functions to understand any inter-dependencies and impacts is a must. We have high standards and display role model behaviours. We share best practice, knowledge, and ideas to deliver the best outcomes for our customers, our colleagues, and our business - we are 'one'!

Who are you:

Having successfully delivered challenging projects before in a retail environment, you will use your strong experience and knowledge of different change methodologies and project management disciplines to implement and embed change into our retail business in Travelex.

Every day is a 'school day', and you enjoy learning and getting to grips with new commercial, product and business concepts. Problem solving and getting stuff done motivates and excites you.

Not afraid to challenge the status quo, you are great at influencing and pride yourself on the ability to develop professional working relationships with stakeholders, colleagues, and business partners by adapting your approach - after all, we are all different!

Thriving in a fast-paced environment, you are resilient and tenacious with a great eye for detail, always keeping your standards high.

We have a fantastic team who are open, honest, and transparent, so being a team player, rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in is just the 'norm' for us. If you want to work in an awesome team delivering some really great change, and the above sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you, so please apply.
