• Support the full portfolio by coordinating intake, tracking milestones, managing budgets/forecasts/accruals, preparing performance reports (burn-downs, metrics), and interfacing with executives/stakeholders. You'll participate in Agile ceremonies, handle ad-hoc tasks, and adapt quickly to evolving priorities.

• You'll mitigate risks, capture problems, escalated as needed, report findings, probe with targeted questions, and present insights to stakeholders.
• Knowledge of FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) concepts is a strong plus for structured risk prioritization.

Shared Details for Both Roles:

• Contract: 6+ months (high likelihood of extension)
• Rate: $72/hr - $76/Hr
• Team: Interactive Services - technology-driven projects in a collaborative, executive-facing banking environment

• 5-10 years in project coordination, program support, or PM roles (tech and financial services background preferred)
• Strong project tracking, financial management, risk identification/mitigation, stakeholder communication
• JIRA expertise (tracking, reporting, user stories)
• Agile mindset with adaptability to wear multiple hats
• Excellent probing/questioning skills, attention to detail, and proactive attitude

Nice-to-Haves:

• Advanced Excel (formulas, pivots), PowerPoint
