Authentication is the gateway to every client interaction and as a Sr. Consultant, Authentication Project Delivery Manager, you will sit at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution. You arent just a traditional Project Manager; you are a Delivery Specialist responsible for navigating the full lifecycle of transformational authentication projects.

• Stakeholder Navigation:
  Build and maintain strong relationships across the bank, communicating clearly and concisely to ensure alignment in a complex, matrixed environment.

• 5+ years of experience in a role that combines traditional PM duties with deep Project Delivery (PCM, Business Testing, and implementation).
• Proven experience specifically within Client Authentication.
• Experience managing high‑output technical teams while sitting on the business side of digital projects.
• Demonstrated success in pushing services to market, including managing business testing cycles and people‑change initiatives.
