About the Role: We are looking for a highly motivated and experienced Senior Project Manager to integrate into and strengthen our Project Management Team. Your mission will be to facilitate and ensure the success of our key initiatives, while striving for the continuous improvement of our team’s methodologies and tools.

Please note: This role is exclusively for Senior-level professionals. We are seeking an expert who can independently drive complex projects end-to-end, navigate a highly regulated corporate environment, and manage expectations at the highest levels without requiring constant supervision.

What You Will Be Doing:

As a Senior PM, you will lead projects from inception to completion, ensuring they meet scope, timeline, and budget requirements. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Team & Workstream Leadership: Managing the Business Change Management team, and coordinating the project's daily operations, workshops, and dependencies.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Partnering with senior stakeholders and project sponsors to understand requirements, provide strategic updates, and drive the book of work.

• Planning & Execution: Refining budgets, maintaining backlogs, securing commitments, and monitoring execution while actively spotting and removing roadblocks.

• IT & Change Coordination: Overseeing IT functional changes, testing phases, roll-outs, Change Requests, and Operational Target Operating Model (TOM) coordination.

• Analysis & Reporting: Performing ROI and "what-if" analyses, preparing executive presentations, roadmaps, and budget monitoring reports.

What We Expect from You:

• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of proven, end-to-end project management experience (Mandatory).

• Industry Knowledge: Previous background in institutional and/or investment banking is required.

• Domain Assets: Experience in securities services, the investment fund industry, or financial market infrastructure (e.g., SWIFT, Clearstream) is a strong advantage.

• Soft Skills: Exceptional communication skills with a proven track record of managing senior stakeholder expectations and preventing/mitigating conflicts of interest.

• Work Style: You are an initiative-taker and a proactive problem-solver with an open mind, capable of delivering value under pressure with tight deadlines.

• Environment: Accustomed to working effectively within global and dispersed teams.

How We Work (Our Project Framework):

You will be joining a corporate, regulated, and client-focused environment. Because of the dynamic nature of our technologies and processes, we strictly rely on our internal project framework as an execution stabilizer. You must be comfortable adapting to and executing the following non-negotiable principles:

• Weekly Sprints: You will organize and transparently present weekly planning for yourself and the team (who does what and when) to achieve sprint goals.

• Backlog & Milestones: You are fully responsible for defining project success criteria, clarifying the product, and maintaining the roadmap.

• Weekly Touchpoints: We run weekly team syncs to discuss deliverables, future plans, and roadblocks (we do not hold daily stand-ups, except during specific critical periods).

• Steering Committees: You will organize monthly SteerCo meetings aimed at executive decision-making and project awareness.

• RAID Management: You are responsible for stringent project cost and risk tracking, presented in standard RAID formats.

• Meeting Discipline: You are required to prepare and share all supporting documentation prior to any meeting.

• Delivery Mindset: To succeed with us, you need to apply transparency, strict framework adherence, strong relationship building, continuous inspection and adaptation, and a clear "definition of done."
