Change & Project Management: Strong track record of end-to-end change management (from design to embedding) and project/programme management within large matrix organizations.

Analytical Skillset: Possess a Senior Business Analyst (BA) or Change Analyst skillset.

Process Improvement: Lean/Six Sigma Green Belt certification is highly desirable, or demonstrable equivalent skills in evaluating and measuring processes from a customer perspective to drive efficiency.

Adaptability: Exceptional ability to navigate and proactively problem-solve in an ambiguous, greenfield project environment where priorities frequently shift.

Desirable but not mandatory: An understanding of payments and gateways, and the ability to build process architecture or enterprise architecture frameworks.

Key responsibilities

Analyze and define the impact of changes on customers, working closely with ops readiness teams to prepare for transitions.

Take high-level strategic objectives and specialize in breaking them down into actionable steps, fully embedding these changes into the business operations.

Drive the end-to-end change management process, ensuring successful delivery from the initial design phase through to final implementation.

Design and refine a digital-led customer service offering by analyzing processes from the customer's perspective and creating measurable, efficient improvements.

Confidently manage shifting priorities by proactively creating solutions, validating them with leadership, and independently driving them to completion rather than waiting for direction.

Manage a wide range of stakeholders across a large matrix organization to align project outcomes

Hybrid Working

Barclays is currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. Barclays is flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. Barclays also has a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances
