Join Mizuho as a Central Project Manager!

The Central Project Manager supports enterprise infrastructure initiatives by providing governance, coordination, and portfolio-level project management services across multiple infrastructure towers.

• Lead or contribute to the development of standardized initiation artifacts, including project charters, business requirements (where applicable), high‑level scope definitions, ROM cost estimates, and initial risk assessments.
• Ensure projects meet defined readiness criteria prior to execution, including required documentation, stakeholder alignment, and funding/resource visibility.

• Maintain visibility of project-level risks, issues, and dependencies, contributing to infrastructure-wide RAID and change logs.
• Support project change assessments by coordinating impact analysis on scope, schedule, cost, and risk, and facilitating required governance approvals.

• Produce standardized weekly and monthly project and portfolio reporting using approved templates and designated systems of record.
• Present consolidated views of project health, schedule variance, budget posture, and execution risks for leadership consumption, incorporating stakeholder and leadership feedback into ongoing reporting and project oversight.
