In this role you will initially be focused on the launch of an exciting new venture we are building in partnership with a leading global bank. This venture is a high profile international coaching and advisory start-up that helps wealthy families navigate complex intergenerational business, wealth and personal transitions.
We are looking for a future star to be the project manager in delivering this new venture build, coordinating the efforts of our senior stakeholders and talented junior consultants. You will also have regular contact supporting our CEO on governance matters. At the end of the project you will have a real life business launch to your name, and be ready to take on to the next exciting OneLeap project.
Although the initial project will be project managing the venture build, we don’t hire “pure” project managers. All of our team members are entrepreneurial generalists with project management, problem solving, consulting and communication skills, and the potential to become senior leaders in our business down the line.

This position is based in our London office, but working with a team around the world. When restrictions allow it, we work together in person (following sensible precautions) because we all prefer it and find it much more productive.
