Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced PMO / Risk Management Consultant to support a key program within a leading banking environment. The consultant will work closely with program leadership, risk teams, technology partners, and business stakeholders to provide structure, governance, execution support, and risk oversight across a portfolio of initiatives.

The role may support programs spanning Operational Risk, Technology Risk, and Financial Risk, making this an excellent opportunity for someone who understands both disciplined program management and the risk and control environment of a large financial institution.

The successful candidate will be comfortable operating in a complex, highly regulated organization, working across multiple stakeholder groups, and translating risk-related priorities into well-managed programs, deliverables, and executive-level reporting.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the day-to-day operation of a Program Management Office (PMO) for risk-related initiatives within the bank.
• Establish and maintain program governance, workplans, milestones, dependencies, deliverables, and reporting.
• Track program risks, issues, actions, and decisions, ensuring appropriate ownership, escalation, and closure.
• Partner with stakeholders across Operational Risk, Technology Risk, Financial Risk, Compliance, Technology, Operations, and the business.
• Coordinate activities across multiple workstreams and ensure alignment with overall program objectives and regulatory or risk-management commitments.
• Develop clear, concise reporting for senior management, including executive dashboards, status reports, risk and issue summaries, and steering committee materials.
• Facilitate working sessions, governance meetings, and executive forums; document decisions and drive follow-up actions.
• Identify execution risks, gaps, and dependencies and proactively work with stakeholders to develop mitigation plans.
• Support remediation, transformation, regulatory, or risk-management programs where strong governance and evidence of execution are required.
• Assist with defining and documenting processes, controls, roles and responsibilities, and operating models as needed.
• Maintain high-quality program documentation and ensure deliverables are completed accurately and on schedule.
• Help drive accountability across teams while navigating competing priorities and complex stakeholder environments.

Qualifications

• Strong experience in PMO, program management, project management, risk management, or management consulting, preferably within banking or financial services.
• Experience supporting risk-related initiatives involving one or more of the following:
• Operational Risk
• Cybersecurity Risk
• Controls / Issues Management
• Regulatory Remediation or Transformation
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex programs involving multiple workstreams and senior stakeholders.
• Strong understanding of program governance, risk and issue management, dependency tracking, executive reporting, and delivery management.
• Ability to take complex or ambiguous information and turn it into clear plans, actions, and management-level communications.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to interact effectively with senior leaders.
• Advanced proficiency with PowerPoint and Excel; experience with common project and portfolio management tools is preferred.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• Prior experience working within a large bank or regulated financial institution is strongly preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate combines the discipline of a strong PMO / program management professional with a practical understanding of banking risk and controls. This individual does not need to be a deep subject-matter expert across every risk discipline but should be able to quickly understand risk concepts, work effectively with SMEs, challenge timelines and deliverables when appropriate, and keep complex initiatives moving forward.

Experience with regulatory remediation, risk transformation, audit or regulatory findings, issue management, control enhancement, or large-scale change programs would be particularly valuable.

This is a full-time consulting engagement expected to run approximately 4-6 months, with the potential for extension. The consultant will be expected to work on-site three days per week at a client location in or near Lower Manhattan / New York City's Financial District.

Candidates should be able to commit to the hybrid schedule for the duration of the engagement.
