Associate Program Manager Assistant Vice President

Citi • Tampa, FL

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Overview: The Program Management Advisory and Execution (PMAE) is the only enterprise level resource that supports all business units across the bank to plan, execute and govern complex cross-functional initiatives, programs, and projects. We act as partners to interject project management discipline to work efforts. The team works across silos and moves from topic to topic while continuing to maintain and follow program management rules of governance. The PMAE is an organization consisting of over 80 program management professionals, each with a very robust and diverse background. The work will vary across engagements but generally will range from regulatory compliance to risk management. PMAE is not a technology-centric project management office, however its work may include the integration of the technology dependencies into cross-functional business initiatives as part of a larger body of work. This is a highly matrixed organization where your primary manager will not be providing daily oversight of your actions and program management skills. You will be expected to operate independently, while interacting with your clients and stakeholders on a day-to-day basis. As initiatives, programs, and projects close, you will then be assigned to a new body of work with new sponsors and new stakeholders, while maintaining your primary PMAE supervisory chain. What you will be doing: This is a foundational position for PMAE with an expectation of some prior exposure to PM lifecycle and processes. You will work to support complex initiatives, programs, and projects through all activities in the life cycle by owning management of core PM processes (i.e., risk/issue management, reporting, plan management.) This position offers opportunity for growth while gaining practical hands-on experience necessary for end-to-end program delivery on large programs.
