Job requirements
The Role:
At Aptia, our project space is thriving, and we need a Team Manager who thrives on the "muck in" mentality. If you have a solid foundation in UK Pensions and love the fast-paced energy of project delivery, we want your grit and your expertise.
You’ll be leading the charge on vital work that requires a sharp eye, a steady hand, and a positive attitude.
This is a hybrid working position and can be aligned with any Aptia UK office.
What you will be doing:
You will be the engine room of our project delivery streams. This isn't just about oversight; it’s about ownership.
Own the Workflow: You’ll manage the day-to-day allocation of work, ensuring your team isn't just busy, but productive and hitting targets.
Bridge the Gaps: Work closely with Project Coordinators and other Senior Managers to plan the pipeline. When hurdles appear, you don’t just report them - you bring the solution.
Raise the Bar: You’ll be the standard-bearer for quality, mentoring your team to ensure every member is performing at their peak.
Commercial Sharpness: You’ll keep a close eye on the clock and the budget, ensuring we deliver value to our clients while hitting our internal revenue targets.
Collaborate: You’ll be part of a wider leadership network, working with Client Directors, Project Leaders and Operations Directors to keep project delivery on track.
What we’re looking for:
Pensions Pedigree: Experience in UK Defined Benefit (DB)
Experience in managing people and performance.
Project Savvy: While a formal project background is an advantage, you must at least be comfortable in a high-pressure environment with moving deadlines.
Technical Literacy: You’re competent with Microsoft Office (Word/Excel) and can communicate technical issues to stakeholders without the jargon.
The "Sleeves Up" Mentality: You’re well-organised, proactive, and happy to get stuck into the detail when the team needs you.
