• Cloud migration
• Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Identity and access management
• Information security
• Application migration
• Network and connectivity
• Work closely with technical development partners, including system integrators and consulting firms.
• Facilitate project meetings, steering updates and working sessions.
• Ensure technical deliverables remain aligned to the overall integration roadmap.
• Escalate delivery risks and blockers appropriately.
• Partner with business and technology leadership to drive the program through key milestones.
• Ensure vendor deliverables are completed on schedule and meet agreed requirements.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in technology project/program management.
• Proven experience managing large-scale technology integration initiatives.
• Strong experience coordinating multiple vendors and third-party technology partners.
• Experience with enterprise infrastructure and technology delivery.
• Demonstrated experience with some combination of:
• Cloud migration
• SSO / identity integration
• Infrastructure integration
• Information security
• Desktop / end-user technology
• Application migration
• Enterprise systems integration
• Strong project planning, scheduling, dependency and issue-management capabilities.
• Excellent stakeholder and vendor management skills.
• Ability to operate effectively in a complex, matrixed enterprise environment.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work with both technical and executive stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Investment management or asset management technology experience.
• Experience integrating acquired organizations into large enterprise environments - M&A
• Experience working with Deloitte or other major systems integrators.
• PMP, PRINCE2 or equivalent project management certification.
• Experience working within highly regulated environments.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a senior, hands-on technology PM who can take ownership of a complex integration workstream, coordinate numerous vendors, understand technical dependencies and drive execution without requiring significant oversight.

Someone with investment-management experience is preferred, but candidates with strong financial-services and enterprise technology integration backgrounds will also be considered.
