Senior Project Manager
First Help Financial is a fast-growing and culturally diverse company in the U.S. seeking a heavyweight Senior Project Manager to serve as a strategic right hand to their leadership team. The role involves orchestrating mission-critical initiatives across various departments and managing high-stakes stakeholder dynamics while promoting project management excellence.
Responsibilities
Strategic Execution: Translate the COO's vision into actionable roadmaps. You will own the 'big picture' while ensuring no detail is missed across multi-departmental workstreams
Executive Presence & Communication: Serve as the primary point of contact for the C-suite on project health. You must be able to distill complex technical or operational roadblocks into clear, data-driven executive briefings
Stakeholder Diplomacy: Masterfully navigate 'hard' stakeholders and competing departmental priorities. You will use influence, not just authority, to drive alignment between Engineering, Sales, and Compliance
PMO Evangelism: Act as a mentor and coach. Since many teams are unfamiliar with formal PM frameworks, you will 'build the tracks while the train is moving,' teaching others how to work within structured project environments
Technical & Risk Integration: Facilitate deep-dive sessions with Engineering and Credit Risk teams to ensure technical solutions are architecturally sound and compliant with financial regulations
High-Stakes Problem Solving: Step into ambiguous or high-pressure situations to resolve conflicts, re-allocate resources, and keep critical deadlines on track
Qualification
Required
4+ Years of Experience: You have a proven track record of managing large-scale, cross-functional projects in complex industries (FinTech or Financial Services preferred)
Exceptional Gravitas: You are comfortable challenging executives when necessary and can maintain composure in high-pressure environments
Change Management DNA: You have experience introducing structure to 'unstructured' teams and can demonstrate how you've successfully led teams through process transformations
Technical Fluency: You understand APIs, databases, and system integrations well enough to 'sniff test' a project plan and hold engineering teams accountable
The 'Strategic' Mindset: You don't just check boxes; you ask why we are doing a project and how it impacts the bottom line
