We are seeking a Senior Project Manager / Business Analyst who can flex between delivery leadership and hands-on analysis.

Initiatives may include software builds, vendor onboarding, process improvement, operating model and organizational change, outsourcing, and other cross-functional programs spanning operations, legal and compliance, risk, sales, and marketing.

Demonstrated success delivering complex, cross-functional change initiatives end-to-end.
Strong stakeholder management and executive-level communication skills; ability to influence decisions and drive alignment.
Experience operating in hybrid delivery environments (Agile and Waterfall), adapting approach to initiative type and risk profile.
Strong analytical and process skills (process mapping, requirements definition, structured problem solving).

Nice To Haves

Experience in asset management or financial services.
Process improvement background (Lean, Six Sigma, BPM).
Comfort with data analysis (advanced Excel; SQL/Python a plus) and using AI tools responsibly to accelerate analysis and documentation.
PMP, Agile, or Scrum certifications.

Responsibilities

Lead discovery to define the problem statement, objectives, scope (in/out), stakeholders, assumptions, constraints, dependencies, and success metrics.
Elicit, document, and manage requirements using appropriate formats (BRD, epics/user stories, acceptance criteria), including current/future-state process mapping and supporting analysis.
Partner with business and technology teams to evaluate solution options (build/buy), assess impacts, risks, dependencies, and operating model/process changes.
Define and execute quality and readiness activities including test strategy, test scenarios, UAT planning and coordination, defect triage, and go-live readiness.
Lead end-to-end delivery from initiation through implementation and benefits realization, managing scope, plan, timeline, resourcing, dependencies, risks/issues, and outcomes (including budget where applicable).
Establish governance and operating cadence (status reporting, steering committees, decision logs, RAID), driving timely escalation and resolution.
Coordinate cross-functional teams and align business and technology work into an integrated delivery roadmap; manage interdependencies across workstreams.
Manage vendors when applicable, including milestones, deliverables, and performance against commitments.
Drive adoption and change outcomes through communications, training, rollout planning, and post-launch stabilization; measure adoption and results against baseline/targets.
Track and report benefits realization and lessons learned to continuously improve delivery outcomes.
Contribute to standards, templates, and best practices across project delivery and analysis; coach teammates to support consistent, high-quality execution.
