Job description
Mandate Overview:
- The client is looking for a project manager who owns the entire delivery: project plan, deliverables, budget, schedule, risks and deliverable approval. The role places the person at the centre of a broad ecosystem (sponsor, managers, contribution leads, external integrator) and gives them authority over resource change requests. Reporting goes directly to the sponsor and the steering committee, which requires a level of political acumen explicitly named in the mandate. What sets this mandate apart from a generic project manager role is the note on financial knowledge: derivatives, accounting and financial risk, at a basic level, combined with a software integration and platform change project. PMP, MGP or ACP certification is listed among the required knowledge, with no mention of it being an asset.
- Target candidate: a certified project manager with more than 6 years of large-scale cross-functional projects, who has already led a platform replacement or integration in a financial institution or risk context. The person must be able to speak the language of finance (derivatives, accounting, risk) with business teams, without being a domain specialist.
Requirements
Required:
- More than 6 years in project management in large-scale contexts
- PMP / MGP / ACP certifications
- Experience in a risk management context and/or in a financial institution
- Experience in the financial sector
- Basic knowledge of finance: financial derivatives, accounting, financial risk management
- Experience in a software integration and platform change project
- Management skills: complex contexts, communication, political acumen, collaborative culture, planning and coordinating, leadership and initiative
Asset:
- Master's or graduate degree in project management
Profiles to Exclude:
- Profile mentioning project management without demonstrated accountability for budget, schedule and steering committee reporting.
- Profile whose projects described in the resume are small-scale or limited to a single team, with no cross-functional, multi-department project.
- Profile with no software integration, platform replacement or platform change project listed in the resume.
- Profile with no demonstrated exposure in the resume to derivatives, accounting or financial risk.
- PCO, project office advisor or Scrum Master profile presented as a project manager.
- Profile with no PMP, MGP or PMI-ACP certification listed in the resume (pending the client's answer).
