Senior Project/Program Management

Job Summary:
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Project or Program Manager with deep expertise in managing complex client engagements, particularly within the banking industry, to join our dynamic team. This role is ideal for a strategic leader who excels in managing large-scale projects, building strong executive relationships, and driving successful outcomes through effective governance, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor to executive sponsors, owning the client relationship across complex engagements or multiple concurrent programs.
