HOW WILL YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

As a Go-To-Market Senior Project Manager, you will be responsible for planning and executing GTM initiatives that bring our Product Roadmap to market successfully. You’ll work cross-functionally with Product & Technology, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Legal/Risk/Compliance, and Finance to ensure new products and features are launched on time, with clear positioning, enablement, and adoption strategies. 

Your role is critical in bridging product development and commercial execution, ensuring that every launch drives measurable business impact—whether that’s revenue growth, customer retention, or market share expansion.  

In addition to product launches, you will also lead select Enterprise Client Onboarding and Client Development projects, ensuring a seamless experience from initial engagement through full adoption. This includes coordinating internal teams, managing timelines, and aligning onboarding activities with broader go-to-market objectives to maximise client satisfaction and long-term success.

• Proactive contribution to the Portfolio Team to evolve our people and processes. 

• This role is focused on delivery of our Product Roadmap and Client Onboardings, but you may be required to manage other strategic projects as per the demands of our Change Portfolio.
