We are seeking a driven Project Manager to lead complex initiatives within a financial services environment. This role is ideal for a proactive self-starter who anticipates challenges, takes ownership, and drives outcomes without waiting for direction. 

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the planning, execution, and delivery of multi-phase programs, ensuring alignment with financial timelines, regulatory requirements, and budget constraints.

• Serve as the single source of truth for project status by translating complex technical and operational updates into concise, executive-level communications.

• Act as an objective facilitator across cross-functional teams (e.g., Sales, Compliance, Technology, Operations) to resolve competing priorities and resource constraints.

• Maintain a robust risk and issue management framework, with particular focus on regulatory compliance and financial controls.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to perform effectively in high-pressure environments, managing conflict with professionalism, emotional intelligence, and a firm-first mindset.

• Proven success operating in ambiguous settings where processes are evolving or not fully defined.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to inform stakeholders at all levels without overloading them.

• 10+ years of Project Management experience within banking, insurance, fintech, or regulated financial services.

• Deep expertise in Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid delivery models (PMP, CSM, or similar certifications preferred).

• Advanced proficiency with Jira, Confluence, MS Project, and/or Smartsheet.
