Job Description

About the role

MUFG Retirement Solutions (RS) business under the MUFG Pensions & Market Services group is seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the delivery of high-quality, client-specific projects for a key superannuation client.

You will be responsible for end-to-end project delivery across a portfolio of initiatives, including business improvement, system upgrades, legislative and IT projects. Many of these involve complex system integrations, APIs, and production deployments.

Reporting to the Portfolio Manager and working closely with internal stakeholders, the client and external vendors, you will act as the central conduit - translating business, technical and client requirements into well-planned, successfully delivered outcomes.

• Drive continuous improvement, develop procedures and support the establishment of new ways of working and best practices
• Bring strong soft skills: a positive, “can-do” attitude, resilience, and the ability to influence and work effectively with multiple stakeholders
• Support and motivate others, adapting to changing priorities while contributing to a high-performing team culture
