First Help Financial, voted and certified as a “Great Place to Work” by our workforce for five years in a row, is adding a new partner to our Project Management department to accommodate our remarkable growth! As part of that, we’ve recently launched a Project Management Office (PMO) to drive clarity, alignment, and execution across our most critical priorities. 

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to play a central role in building and scaling the PMO. This role will partner closely with PMO leadership and take ownership of critical areas of how the function operates. 

You will operate across two core dimensions: building the systems and structure that enable effective execution across the organization, and directly leading high-priority, high-visibility initiatives that require strong ownership, judgment, and executive presence. 

What you will do:

 Responsibilities are, but not limited to:

Lead and shape complex initiatives within your domain 

• Own complex, multi-departmental initiatives spanning Operations, Finance, Compliance, and Technology from framing through delivery 

• Make real decisions on scope, approach, and trade-offs shaping how the work gets done, not just executing a plan handed to you 

• Translate strategic priorities into structured plans with clear scope, owners, timelines, and definitions of done 

• Run the operating mechanics of your initiatives working sessions, status reporting, risk tracking, decision logs with the discipline that gives leadership confidence the work is in hand 

• Step into ambiguous or high-pressure situations to resolve conflicts, rebalance resources, and keep critical deadlines on track 

Bring strategic depth to the work 

• Sniff-test the business logic of the initiatives you lead unit economics, portfolio performance, operational trade-offs, and the assumptions underlying the plan to make sure the work is actually moving the right numbers 

• Build the analysis behind the recommendation not just the deck that wraps it 

• Connect day-to-day execution to underlying business outcomes; understand and articulate why the work matters, what success looks like in measurable terms, and when an initiative needs to be re-scoped or stopped 

• Brief executives with clarity on what’s happening, what’s at risk, and what to decide 

Be a credible partner across functions 

• Navigate complex stakeholder dynamics using influence, not authority to drive alignment between Engineering, Operations, Finance, and Compliance 

• Carry business logic into technical conversation
