Your Role: Senior Project Manager – LoanIQ (Agile Delivery)
In this role, you will lead the delivery of complex, front‑to‑back technology initiatives across syndicated lending and credit risk platforms. You’ll combine strong Agile/Scrum leadership with traditional project governance, acting as the bridge between business stakeholders and technology teams to ensure successful, regulatory‑aligned outcomes. This is a hands‑on delivery role requiring deep LoanIQ functional expertise and the ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast‑paced, client‑facing environment. While the scope of each project may be different, your duties and responsibilities may include:
Lead end-to-end delivery of LoanIQ-related initiatives across origination, syndication, agency servicing, and secondary loan trading.
Own delivery planning, execution, and reporting across multiple workstreams with interdependent timelines.
Serve as the primary point of coordination between Front Office, Operations, Risk, Finance, and Technology teams.
Act as Scrum Master for Agile delivery teams, facilitating daily stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog grooming, reviews, and retrospectives.
Drive backlog prioritisation and delivery tracking using Jira, Confluence, or equivalent Agile tools.
Balance Agile delivery practices with PMO governance requirements, including RAID logs, milestone tracking, status reporting, and audit documentation.
Lead and oversee LoanIQ configuration and enhancements, including:
Facilities and tranche structures
Rate index setup (SOFR and LIBOR fallbacks)
Amortisation schedules and covenant monitoring
Manage complex loan lifecycle events, including amendments, waivers, repricing, refinances, and restructurings.
Ensure accurate interest, fee, and accrual processing across all relevant workflows.
Coordinate integration between LoanIQ and upstream trading platforms and downstream Finance, Risk, and General Ledger systems.
Plan and lead SIT, UAT, and regression testing for LoanIQ releases.
Ensure data integrity, operational readiness, and stakeholder sign-off prior to go-live.
Develop and execute cutover, parallel run, and rollback strategies for multi-entity and multi-region deployments.
Ensure compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks, including Basel requirements, SOFR transition, and credit risk exposure reporting.
Proactively manage delivery risk through robust RAID governance and mitigation planning.
Engage senior stakeholders across business and technology functions, providing clear, concise status updates and risk transparency.
Facilitate workshops, walkthroughs, and training sessions for business users and support teams.

Required background includes:
