Business Execution Partners is a centralized team of change agents partnering across regions, business lines, and functions to deliver high-impact initiatives. We are seeking a Senior Project Manager, with a solution design focus who can partner well with senior and junior partners, to deliver thoughtful strategic change.

• Elicit, document, and manage solution design, alongside key subject matter experts, industry forums and external consultants when appropriate. 
• Partner with business and technology teams to evaluate solution options (build/buy), assess impacts, risks, dependencies, and operating model/process changes.
• Define and execute quality and readiness activities including test strategy, test scenarios, UAT planning and coordination, defect triage, and go-live readiness.

Delivery leadership, governance, and execution (Project/Program Management)

• Lead end-to-end delivery from initiation through implementation and benefits realization, managing scope, plan, timeline, resourcing, dependencies, risks/issues, and outcomes (including budget where applicable).
• Establish governance and operating cadence (status reporting, steering committees, decision logs, RAID), driving timely escalation and resolution.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams and align business and technology work into an integrated delivery roadmap; manage interdependencies across workstreams.
• Manage vendors when applicable, including milestones, deliverables, and performance against commitments.
• Drive adoption and change outcomes through communications, training, rollout planning, and post-launch stabilization; measure adoption and results against baseline/targets.
• Track and report benefits realization and lessons learned to continuously improve delivery outcomes.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree
• 15+ years of experience across project/program management and business analysis, with meaningful depth in both disciplines.
• Demonstrated success delivering complex, cross-functional change initiatives end-to-end - with the ability to multi-task. 
• Strong stakeholder management and executive-level communication skills; ability to influence decisions and drive alignment.
• Experience in asset management or financial services, working in BAU functional teams, as well as managing change. 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience operating in hybrid delivery environments (Agile and Waterfall), adapting approach to initiative type and risk profile.
• Strong analytical and process skills (process mapping, requirements definition, structured problem solving).
• Process improvement background (Lean, Six Sigma, BPM).
