Senior Project Manager-Finance & Ledger Vice President

Citi • Tampa, FL

10d • $113,840 - $170,760 • Onsite

About The Position

The Strategic Ledger programme is a major enterprise transformation initiative implementing Oracle as Citi’s target ledger platform. The programme will modernise and simplify the existing ledger architecture, including replacing FullSuite and migrating relevant operating-ledger and sub-ledger capabilities currently supported by Flex. The Operations portfolio covers several substantial and interdependent streams, including: Release 1: CBNA UK, Release 1.1: migration of relevant Flex sub-ledger capabilities to Oracle, Release 2: CBNA North America, Product Processor Remediation, and Authorised Redistributors. The role will provide a combination of hands-on project management, programme coordination and PMO leadership across these streams. The successful candidate will manage defined delivery activities while supporting the wider programme through integrated planning, governance, risk and issue management, dependency management and senior-management reporting. This is not intended to be a narrow or administrative PMO role. The individual must understand the substance behind programme status, identify barriers to delivery and work across Operations, Finance, Technology, Product, Risk and Controls to drive issues and actions to resolution.

• Confidence constructively challenging stakeholders and escalating issues clearly.

• Track decisions and actions from governance forums through to completion.
• Support compliance with Citi programme governance and CPMC standards.
• Produce clear, concise and decision-oriented status updates for senior Operations management and programme governance forums.
• Consolidate complex information across multiple workstreams into a coherent executive narrative.
