We currently have an outstanding opportunity for a Project Support Assistant to join our IT Change team in The Crown Dependencies as we undergo growth and investment to help us deliver and innovate new initiatives/projects.
Our business is in an exciting era of growth with an ambition to be the fastest growing business in LBG, with plans in place to double its income by 2026. We're expanding our digital footprint via several exciting and innovative initiatives and are looking for individuals who can work across a range of change deliveries. You could be working on anything from banking app development and innovation, through to large scale change deliveries.
Please note to be applicable for roles in Jersey, and/or Isle of Man - you’ll be required to hold specific right to work permissions to live & work in these jurisdictions which differ from the UK.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactively supporting Product Owners and delivery leads with driving change initiatives.
• Support & manage delivery plans and associated resources.
• Supporting testing across various change deliveries, ensuring quality in our products and outputs.
• Support with key governance and administrative activities, including minuting meetings, coordination, tracking and KPIs management.
• Support tracking budgets and bring variances to the attention of senior colleagues, working within established budgeting systems.
• Support tracking of risk parameters and identify and report any major deviation to more senior colleagues, working within established risk management systems.
• Vendor and supplier management - ensuring delivery objectives are tracked and progressing to plan.
• Being prepared to be an active learner, engaging in new opportunities for development.

About Us
We’re on an exciting journey and there couldn’t be a better time to join us. The investments we’re making in our people, data, and technology are leading to innovative projects, fresh possibilities, and countless new ways for our people to work, learn, and thrive.
What You’ll Need

• Evidenced ability to manage own time, prioritise and self motivate.

And any experience of these would be really useful
