As a
Project and Program Manager, you will be responsible for the planning,
coordination, and delivery of projects and programs that support business
objectives. You will work with various stakeholders and ensure effective
communication, a clear governance structure, and rigorous execution of
deliverables. You will also contribute to some pre-project work and the
improvement of portfolio management practices.
client is seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead cross-functional projects
and programs related to its member- and partner-centric transformation.
The role
covers the entire delivery cycle: roadmap, milestones, budget monitoring and
contingency management, governance, risk management, and interdependencies
between initiatives. The recurring words (cross-functional, program,
interdependencies, governance, portfolio, stakeholders) indicate a
multi-project coordination mandate with organizational scope, not the
management of a single isolated project.
The body of
the text refers to seniority and a program dimension, while the heading
indicates a simple project manager: the actual scope leans towards the program
and the portfolio. The ideal candidate will collaborate with the portfolio
manager and initiative managers without merging with them. The highlighted
qualities (political acumen, ability to influence, team structuring) confirm a
leadership role exercised in a complex and changing environment.

- Experience in insurance or financial services
- Contribution to pre-project work and improvement of
portfolio management practices
ASSET
- Experience in a large-scale transformation context

Note: The mandate does not require any
certification or an explicit minimum number of years of experience. Seniority
is considered a required criterion because the mandate itself qualifies the
position as senior; however, no specific number of years is specified.
