Business Manager
Technology Innovation Engagement
Inside IR35 Contract


Do you love being the bridge between brilliant technology and the people who need to understand it? This is your chance to shape how an entire international banking technology function tells its innovation story — from AI and automation showcases to leadership town halls that people actually want to attend.

Working within the Office of the COO for Technology Innovation Management, you'll sit at the heart of a team that connects technology with the wider business across EMEA and internationally. You'll drive awareness, engagement and adoption of innovation initiatives, turning complex concepts into crisp, business-focused narratives that land with senior stakeholders.

This is a day rate contract, inside IR35 (duration and rate to be confirmed shortly). The role is hybrid, based out of a London office close to Moorgate tube station.

  • Providing business management support to the Technology Innovation function, including strategic planning, prioritisation and execution of initiatives
  • Managing and coordinating innovation engagement activities — town halls, speaker events and leadership sessions
  • Developing innovation portfolio materials, case studies and executive briefing packs
  • Creating compelling, business-focused narratives that showcase AI, automation and innovation initiatives
  • Producing innovation updates, newsletters and awareness materials, translating technical concepts into clear business messaging
  • Preparing reporting and management information for senior leadership
  • Engaging and influencing stakeholders across Technology and the wider business functions

What You'll Bring
  • 3–5 years' experience as a Business Manager** (or similar) within a large organisation, ideally financial services or technology
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple initiatives at pace
  • Proven stakeholder management and negotiation skills at all levels of an organisation
  • A holistic understanding of technology operations and the support a bank requires, plus a good grasp of core banking functions
  • The ability to present complex data simply and structurally, using storytelling
  • Excellent communication skills, strong judgement and a calm, confident approach under pressure
  • Desirable: experience with culture and employee engagement programmes
