Project Manager
Description
We're pleased to announce a new opportunity for a Project Manager to join our expanding team at AXA UK.
Working within the Commercial SME Transformation Digital team, you'll play a key role in delivering our commercial strategy and platform. You'll work closely with the commercial business collaborating with both internal and external stakeholders, driving continuous improvement and enhancements across the SME digital platform. This role will be instrumental in strengthening our Change capability, accelerating the delivery of strategic programmes and promoting the adoption of improved ways of working and more effective change management across UK&I.
At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We're also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.
What you'll be doing:
• Delivering assigned projects within agreed scope, budget and timeline, following established project methodologies.
• Identifying, assessing and managing risks, escalating issues as needed and proposing effective solutions.
• Estimating costs, timescales and resource requirements, securing resources and developing detailed project plans.
• Monitoring project activities, tracking progress and addressing deviations from plans.
• Managing third-party suppliers and internal stakeholders to meet project goals within quality, cost and time constraints.
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and engagement.
• Providing accurate, timely reports on project status and risks to leadership and relevant teams.
