About the role

We place senior project managers with US-based clients. Our clients are fast-moving organizations that need PMs who can own complex programs end-to-end — not just track tasks, but drive delivery, manage executive stakeholders, and communicate status with clarity and confidence. You will be the face of the engagement.

What you'll do

• Lead full project lifecycle from initiation through closeout across multi-workstream programs
• Facilitate executive steering committees, sponsor briefings, and cross-functional working sessions in English
• Own project governance: RAID logs, status reporting, budget tracking, and milestone management
• Manage stakeholder relationships at all levels including C-suite, without hand-holding from leadership
• Identify and escalate risks proactively — with a recommended path forward, not just a flag
• Partner with OCM leads, technical teams, and business owners to maintain alignment across workstreams
• Produce crisp, executive-ready documentation: charters, project plans, status decks, and decision memos

What we're looking for

• 7+ years of project management experience, with at least 3 years leading enterprise programs in financial services or technology
• Demonstrated experience managing executive stakeholders
• PMP, PMI-ACP, or equivalent certification preferred
• Proficiency in project tools: MS Project, Jira, or equivalent
• Strong command of both waterfall and agile delivery methodologies
• A track record of keeping complex programs on track when things get messy
• A writing style that is concise, clear, and professional
• Experience with Organizational Change Management practices

What sets you apart

• You can run a tense stakeholder conversation without losing composure or clarity
• You get to the point — in meetings, in emails, in decks
