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.
