Purpose of Role:

The Implementation Manager drives successful implementation of Technology change projects. The role works flexibly across multiple projects/initiatives coordinating and carrying out area actions to deliver project implementation and business optimisation.

This role – in the Implementation Team – reports to the Head of Business Implementation.

The role also services the internal requirements of the Technology department and the deliverables that are generated by change in the wider Marex business. Acquisitions, new offices, and large technology change all generate books of work that need specification, ownership, and co-ordination.

Key to delivery will be the relationships established with the Heads of each Technology Business stream, wider technology management, Facilities and key business stakeholders who own and drive change.
