Senior Associate, Project Manager
Are you ready to lead from the front line of a top 10 bank? Do you thrive in a high-visibility environment where your relationship-building and sharp execution expertise translate directly into operational excellence?
As a Senior Project Manager on the Network Product & Platforms (NPP) Ops Chief of Staff (COS) team, you won't just track tasks - you will act as the primary driver of our daily operational execution and proactive delivery engine.

• Operational Pulse and Routine Maintenance: Manage the ongoing tracking of team Key Results (KRs), maintain central event schedules, and coordinate foundational communication routines to keep the team operating at a predictable tempo.
• Operational Hygiene & Process Adherence: Oversee comprehensive project and process documentation, ensuring logistics and records are thoroughly recorded to prevent "process decay" and proactively mitigate operational readiness across initiatives.
• Stakeholder Relationship Management: Build strong working relationships with key stakeholders, utilizing clear communication to keep partners aligned, informed of upcoming deadlines, and prepared for process transitions.
• Problem Solving & Agility: Navigate ambiguity in daily coordination tasks, overcoming execution roadblocks, and acting as an early warning system to flag process and workflow friction.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree or military experience
• At least 3 years of Project Management experience
• At least 1 year of experience in Process Management or continuous improvement

Preferred Qualifications:

• At least 5 years of Project Management experience
