·      Drive risk, issue, and change management

·      Communicate clearly and effectively with senior stakeholders and delivery teams

·      Ensure adherence to PMO governance, SDLC processes, and controls

·      Provide hands-on leadership (not oversight-only) across all project phases

Must-Have Qualifications

·      8+ years of Project Management experience in large banking or financial services environments

·      Payments domain experience (modernization, transformation, or large-scale change)

·      Technology Project Management background

·      Cloud project experience, preferably AWS (certifications not required)

·      Proven hands-on delivery experience managing projects end-to-end

·      Strong critical thinking and decision-making ability

·      Excellent stakeholder communication and management skills

·      Solid understanding of the SDLC and structured PMO environments

Nice-to-Haves

·      Experience working on small-to-mid sized projects with complex integrations

·      Exposure to both waterfall and agile methodologies

·      PMP or similar certification

Additional Notes

·      No coding required; this is a process- and delivery-focused PM role

·      Strong screening is required; only high-quality, role-aligned PMs will be considered
