The Role:

You will own the end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent client projects. You are the client's main point of contact.

If that sounds like your kind of environment, keep reading.

What You'll Do:

  • Drive concurrent client projects from kickoff to go-live
  • Be the primary client contact: build trust, manage expectations, deliver difficult news when needed, and hold the line when it matters
  • Identify and get ahead of risks before they become problems
  • Collaborate across Product, Design, QA, and Implementation to keep delivery moving

  • Relevant bachelor's degree or BTech (Computer Science, Information Systems or Engineering)
  • 5+ years of client-facing project management, delivering to external enterprise-level clients
  • Proven project delivery in SaaS, digital, or cloud environments
  • Confidence managing multiple projects simultaneously
  • Jira, Confluence, MS Office proficiency
  • The ability to be warm, trusted, and firm — sometimes all in the same conversation

Bonus points for asset or wealth management exposure, a consulting background, or a PM certification.
