Project Manager, Systems Analyst, Data Analyst

We are seeking a seasoned Project Manager to embed within the pilot program and serve as the central operational backbone across four cross‑functional work streams:
Strategy, Activation, Technology, and Testing & Experimentation. This is a high‑visibility contract role requiring a true PMO mindset — someone who thrives on structure, ownership, and clarity in fast‑moving environments.

You will serve as the primary point of contact across business units, campaign managers, agency partners, and technology teams — keeping work moving, risks visible, and stakeholders aligned.

• Serve as the single point of contact across Strategy, Activation, Technology, and Testing & Experimentation work streams, driving day‑to‑day technical and operational coordination.
• Track assets through test and release gates; manage timelines, dependencies, and critical path milestones across four teams.
• Plan and facilitate working sessions and checkpoints with clear agendas, defined owners, deadlines, and documented follow‑ups.
• Maintain real‑time trackers, meeting notes, and status reports — acting as the single source of truth for asset pipeline, testing status, risks, and decisions.
• Apply disciplined PMO practices to all documentation, including RAID logs, post‑mortems, and lessons learned.
• Monitor for process deviations, resource conflicts, and blockers; drive timely resolution and elevate issues proactively.
• Partner with configuration and activation teams to triage capacity and unblock bottlenecks in the site build, test, and release pipeline.
• Maintain a master view of queue statuses — always knowing the current state of work and the next step for each workstream.
• Conduct data reporting and tracking to support metrics‑driven decision making across the program.
• Identify and recommend improvements to PM tools, templates, and processes on an ongoing basis.

• 5 years of project or program management experience, ideally in a PMO or multi‑workstream environment.
• Background in finance, fintech, or another highly regulated industry strongly preferred; experience in digital marketing or online acquisition is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cross‑functional stakeholders and serve as a central coordinator across multiple teams simultaneously.
• Proven experience with test & release gate management, QA/UAT coordination, and production release workflows.
• Strong command of RAID (Risks, Actions, Issues, Decisions) frameworks and PMO documentation discipline.
• Excellent meeting facilitation skills: agenda setting, time boxing, action/owner/due‑date tracking, and follow‑up management.
• Proficiency in PM tools (task boards, trackers, Gantt/roadmaps), Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Basic digital and website fluency: understands URLs, links/redirects, landing pages, CMS updates, tagging/pixels, QA checks, and how site changes move through dev–stage–prod environments.

• Experience supporting digital or performance marketing campaigns, partner/client site builds, or agency coordination.
• Familiarity with testing and experimentation workflows (A/B, multivariate) within a marketing or product context.
• PMP, PMI‑ACP, or equivalent certification.
• Prior experience in a financial services or fintech environment.

• Cross‑functional project/program management, multi-workstream orchestration, dependency & critical path management
• Asset pipeline tracking, test & release gate management, QA/UAT & production release coordination
• Single‑source‑of‑truth documentation, change control, scope management, capacity planning

• Metrics‑driven decision making, data literacy, structured problem solving, root‑cause analysis
• Process governance, continuous improvement, systems thinking, adaptability
• PM tools (Jira, Asana, Monday, or equivalent), Excel, PowerPoint, Gantt/roadmap tools
