Ensure projects remain on target by identifying issues, driving resolution, escalating risks as appropriate, and keeping management informed of project status.
Coordinate project flow with impacted departments across the Bank and communicate business problems, solution options, and delivery impacts clearly to senior management.
Identify business needs quickly and translate them into clear business requirements, applying comprehensive knowledge of the Bank's business processes, systems, and organizational workflows.
Assist in reviewing long-range business plan proposals based on current and anticipated business needs, strategic priorities, and delivery capacity.
Participate in portfolio reviews, project governance routines, and reporting activities that provide visibility into status, risks, dependencies, and delivery progress.
Manage multiple stakeholder relationships by aligning expectations, resolving competing priorities, and maintaining clear communication across project teams.
