Summary

Q2 is seeking a Project Manager to join our Integrated Services team. This role leads complex, date-driven client delivery projects and multi-workstream initiatives, with a focus on core conversions, bank and credit union acquisitions, platform migrations, and other multi-vendor implementations that run on fixed go-live dates and carry direct member impact. Integrated Services runs several of these engagements at the same time, so this role is built to lead them concurrently and to move between conversion work and other complex client delivery as demand shifts.

The Project Manager turns ambiguity into a plan, secures the right people and commitments, and keeps clients, vendors, and executives aligned to a shared date. The role orchestrates dependencies across clients, Q2 delivery and technical teams, product and program leaders, and third-party vendors who do not report to Q2; resolves resource contention when concurrent projects compete for the same teams; and sets test and acceptance standards, holding every mock, rehearsal, and cutover to them through a clear go/no-go decision. The ideal candidate advises client executives, including clients who are still building their own project governance, controls scope and cost when estimates are preliminary, and keeps status candid when a project is off track.

This is a delivery leadership role, not a technical one. The Project Manager works alongside implementation engineers, business analysts, data migration, and development teams who hold the technical depth, and is expected to understand concepts such as data mapping, test environments, and integrations well enough to ask the right questions, hold owners to their dates, and recognize risk early. The role requires direct experience leading at least one complex cutover (such as a core or platform conversion, merger or acquisition integration, large data migration, or major production go-live) through testing and release, and the judgment to know when to resolve an issue within the team, when to consult leadership, and when to elevate immediately. The ideal candidate also mentors emerging project managers and applies AI-enabled tools to improve planning, risk identification, and stakeholder communication.

• Process Improvement: Evaluate existing operational processes and identify opportunities for improvement. Develop and implement process improvement strategies to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement changes and monitor their impact.

Coordinate with stakeholders to ensure project objectives are met. Coordinating any major transitions within the company, such as financial, technological, operational, and governance changes.
