• Identifying recurring issues with technical debt, and guide prioritization of new projects to address them.
• Developing comprehensive project plans and documentation, including goals, timelines, resource allocation, budgets, and risk mitigation strategies, ensuring alignment with organizational objectives.
• Directing cross-functional technical discussions and driving decisions involving system upgrades, digital transformation, software implementation, and emerging fintech solutions.
• Facilitating coordination and communication across business units, regions and or external parties fostering strong partnerships and engagement with key stakeholders.
• Contributing to centralized PMO support by offering project guidance, tools, and resources and to standardize project management practices across the organization, improve planning, tracking, and reporting processes, and ensure alignment of all projects with the firm's strategic goals while managing resources and risks effectively.
• Determining the appropriate level of administrative overhead for each project, depending on size and complexity. Manage projects for efficiency and execution first.
