• Provide strong leadership to keep projects on track with respect to timeframes, budgets, and quality requirements.
• Ensure continuous communication regarding project milestones and developments to all key parties.
• Develop and sustain expertise in the bank’s primary systems, processes, and infrastructure.
• Stay informed on financial industry trends, products, and services to provide contextual insight for project execution.
• Lead and deliver presentations tailored for team members and executive stakeholders.
• Influence project success and broader business outcomes—missteps in strategy or execution may result in the need for additional resources to recover project objectives.
