  • Serve as the lead business coordinator for project teams, ensuring alignment across stakeholders and accountability for successful project delivery.
  • Recommend methods, procedures, and technologies that improve project processes and support more effective delivery.
  • Manage project rollout activities, ensuring processes, procedures, training, client communications, and user guides are completed before transition to business as usual.
  • Oversee project implementation by developing or coordinating project plans, facilitating meetings, gaining consensus, and preparing communications and status updates for senior management.
  • Plan and conduct analysis of complex business problems, identifying root causes, impacts, and potential solutions.
  • Monitor and report project, portfolio, and business trends that may affect delivery progress, risk, or prioritization.
  • Explain complex business problems, solution options, and delivery impacts clearly to senior management.
  • Ensure projects remain on target by identifying issues, driving resolution, escalating risks as appropriate, and keeping management informed of project status.
  • Coordinate project flow with impacted departments across the Bank and communicate business problems, solution options, and delivery impacts clearly to senior management.
  • Identify business needs quickly and translate them into clear business requirements, applying comprehensive knowledge of the Bank's business processes, systems, and organizational workflows.
  • Assist in reviewing long-range business plan proposals based on current and anticipated business needs, strategic priorities, and delivery capacity.
  • Participate in portfolio reviews, project governance routines, and reporting activities that provide visibility into status, risks, dependencies, and delivery progress.
  • Manage multiple stakeholder relationships by aligning expectations, resolving competing priorities, and maintaining clear communication across project teams.
  • Prepare comprehensive business cases for proposed project investments, including ongoing costs, revenue forecasts, and client pipelines.

Qualifications:

  • Typically requires 7+ years of demonstrated experience leading and managing large, complex projects that cross business lines and organizational functions.
  • Experience managing projects within both agile and waterfall environments.
  • PMP and CSM certifications preferred.
  • Process improvement and Six Sigma experience preferred.
  • Knowledge of Treasury Management products preferred.
  • Knowledge of project management reporting and portfolio management tools, including Planview and Clarity.
  • Knowledge of AI tools and their practical application within a project management environment.
  • Advanced proficiency in Visio and Excel.
  • Power BI and Copilot skills preferred.
  • Requires comprehensive knowledge of customer strategies, practices, and priorities to support effective decision-making.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain complex issues with precision, prepare executive-level materials, and conduct effective reviews.
  • Ability to organize and facilitate effective meetings appropriate to the topic, audience, and decision required.
  • Ability to recognize and communicate an effective course of action on difficult projects and provide guidance to project team members on communication matters.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively within teams.
  • Ability to build and maintain effective interpersonal networks across the organization.
  • Ability to provide guidance to project team members on project management practices, expectations, and delivery standards.
  • Ability to manage multiple projects concurrently and demonstrate excellent personal time-management skills.
  • Ability to develop and maintain complex project plans and manage work in accordance with defined methodologies.
  • Effective management skills in a matrix environment where project participants report to managers outside the project structure.
