Project Manager - Workday Adaptive Planning, 1-year contract

Let’s transform banking forever

ClearBank is built on the belief that banking infrastructure shouldn’t slow down progress. Quite the opposite. Speed it up and that’s when you unlock potential. When you really start to innovate.

That spirit and ‘can-do’ attitude is why our clients – from FinTech's and crypto platforms, to banks and credit unions – choose to use our API to power their banking infrastructure.

But it’s our people who are the stars here. They power that innovation, push harder to break boundaries. They make coming to work (or working from home) fun. They’re the ones we trust to catapult our clients to success. Just as they trust us to build a business that’s always striding forward.

What you can expect:

ClearBank is a place where you can do things differently and challenge the status quo. We will give you a high level of autonomy and transparency, and we trust you to make the right decisions for the bank.

If that excites you, we welcome you to apply to join our Finance Department as a Project Manager on a 12-month contract, to lead the implementation of Workday Adaptive Planning for our Finance function.

• Serving as the primary point of contact between project team, stakeholders, technical teams and external consultants

• Identifying, assessing, and mitigating project risks and issues, proactively managing challenges

• Facilitating project meetings, Finance team briefings, workshops with stakeholders and the Steering Committee

What you’ll bring:

To excel in this role, we’re looking for:

• Proficiency in project and project management tools e.g. Microsoft Project, Azure DevOps (ADO), MIRO, Visio
