Program Management Advisory and Execution Senior Team Lead SVP (Hybrid)

Overview

The Program Management Advisory and Execution team (PMAE) is the only enterprise level resource that supports all business units across the bank to plan, execute and govern complex cross-functional initiatives, programs, and projects.

We act as partners to interject project management discipline to work efforts. The team works across silos and moves from topic to topic while continuing to maintain and follow program management rules of governance.

The PMAE is an organization consisting of over 70 project management professionals, each with a very robust and diverse background.

The work will vary across engagements, but generally will range from regulatory compliance to risk management, to the integration of technology into the business process.

PMAE is not a technology-centric project management office, its work is more focused on the integration of the technology projects and production into cross-functional business initiatives as part of a larger body of work.

If you like solving new, challenging, and complex problems, while continually learning new parts of the business and growing your network this is the perfect role for you.
