Job description
The PM Advisory and Execution (PMAE) function 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 serve as partners to drive project management discipline into high priority and strategic work efforts of the firm. The team works across organizational boundaries 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 60 project management professionals, each with robust and diverse backgrounds.
The work will vary across engagements, but generally will range from regulatory compliance to risk management, to the transformation of business processes. PMAE is not a technology-centric project management office, it’s 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.
This is a highly matrixed organization that operates similar to an internal consulting model (e.g. where the primary manager may not be providing daily oversight of your actions and project management skills). You will be expected to operate independently, while interacting with clients and stakeholders on a day-to-day basis. As initiatives, programs and projects close, you will then be assigned to a new body of work with new sponsors and new stakeholders, while maintaining your primary PMAE supervisory chain.
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. To really stand out and make us fit for the future in a constantly changing business operating environment, each one of us at PMAE needs to be a purpose-led and values-driven leader at every level.
