The Opportunity

Join one of the
world’s most iconic financial institutions
and a cornerstone of the American banking landscape. Our client is currently executing a high-stakes, regulatory-driven modernization of their Brokerage Tax platform. This is a chance to lead a critical project focused on the implementation of
Maxit with BetaNext,
a strategic platform for cost basis processing and reporting.

We are looking for a "hands-on" Project Manager who isn't afraid to get into the weeds, drive technical teams, and ensure delivery for a production-bound initiative.

What You’ll Do

Own the end-to-end delivery of the program, including integration, project planning, and execution.
- Be the Connector:
Coordinate extensively with other Project Managers, Tax Analysts, and technical teams to streamline project focus.
- Lead Readiness:
Oversee vendor delivery, testing phases, system cut-overs, and final production readiness.
- Manage Risk:
Handle risk assessment, issue resolution, dependency tracking, and change management in a regulatory-sensitive environment.
- Communicate with Impact:
Provide high-level progress updates and reporting to senior leaders and executives.

- Vendor Management:
Experience leading complex, vendor-driven implementations in highly regulated environments.
