About the Role
Barden is partnering with a leading global organisation in the digital technology space to identify a Manager - IT Project Controls, focused on independent oversight and assurance across a major global finance transformation programme. We’re seeking professionals who specialise in programme assurance and change governance to ensure large-scale change initiatives meet high standards of control, risk management, and compliance. The role emphasises embedding and operating effective controls, frameworks, and stakeholder engagement across finance-impacting initiatives.
Responsibilities
* Provide independent oversight and assurance over the IT elements of a global finance transformation programme, ensuring adherence to change control and governance frameworks.

* Develop clear documentation and audit trails for IT programme and change controls, ensuring full traceability and accountability.
* Engage with internal stakeholders (IT, Finance, Risk, Controls) to ensure input, ownership, and challenge across the transformation lifecycle.
* Prepare assurance updates and risk-based reporting for senior leadership, outlining control performance, risks, and remediation plans.
* Collaborate with internal and external auditors as needed, providing evidence and insight into programme assurance activity.

* Comfortable working across global teams, with strong influencing and communication skills at senior stakeholder level.
* Ideally has experience with major transformation programmes (e.g., ERP, GRC, finance systems) where assurance and governance were key to success.
