Project Manager, Wealth Management, Software Integration and Platform Change

The client is looking for a project manager who single-handedly owns the delivery of a Wealth Management platform change project, from building the plan through closure and deliverable approval. This person steers human, financial, material and technological resources, provides functional supervision to internal contributors and an integrator, and authorizes change requests in line with governance and methodology. They are the single point of accountability to the sponsor and steering committee. Knowledge of the client's Wealth Management division is mandatory, making it the first sourcing filter, ahead of the 10 years of experience and the certification. The mandate is short (nearly 5 months) and starts in November, which favours a profile who is operational from week one.

Candidate sought: a project manager with over 10 years on large-scale projects, who has previously worked within the client's Wealth Management division, and who has led at least one software integration or platform change project with an external integrator through to closure. Holds a PMP, MGP or ACP certification and is used to reporting to a steering committee.

Key Requirements

• Knowledge of the client's Wealth Management division
• Experience in a software integration and platform change project
• Management of medium to very large cross-functional projects (project plan, coordination of internal and external contributors, cost and schedule control)
• Risk and change request management, reporting to the sponsor and steering committee
• Experience in a risk management context and/or a financial institution
• PMP, MGP or ACP certification

Requirements

PREFERRED

• Behavioural competencies: complex contexts, communication, political acumen, collaborative culture, planning and coordination, leadership and initiative

ASSET

• Master's degree or graduate diploma in project management

Profiles to Exclude:

• Profile with no employment or engagement within the client's Wealth Management division shown on the resume.
• Profile whose projects include neither software integration nor platform change (organizational, regulatory or real estate projects only).
• Coordinator or contribution lead profile with no demonstrated accountability for a project plan and delivery through closure.
• Profile whose projects mention neither an external integrator or vendor nor reporting to a steering committee.
• PCO or Scrum Master profile presented as equivalent to a project manager role.
