Job Title: Sr. Project Manager
Job Summary:
Heitmeyer Consulting is currently seeking a Sr. Project Manager contract opportunity with one of our financial services. This individual will lead and deliver on a large, complex business integration initiative. This role focuses on business-side project management—not technology—and will play a critical role in driving efforts across Credit Card, Debit Card, Treasury Management, and Merchant Services functions.
The ideal candidate thrives in complex, fast-paced environments, is exceptional at keeping multiple teams aligned and accountable, and has demonstrated success in managing integration activities through mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This individual is a proactive, highly organized problem-solver who anticipates challenges, communicates effectively, and ensures projects move forward seamlessly.
Job Responsibilities:
- Lead and manage large-scale, cross-functional business transformation and integration programs across key lines of business such as Credit Card, Debit Card, Treasury Management, and Merchant Services.
- Serve as the central coordinator for all business-related impacts (process, people, operations, policy, and customer experience) associated with transformation or M&A initiatives.
- Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans, milestones, timelines, and deliverables to ensure successful execution and delivery.
- Drive accountability among stakeholders and workstreams—herding cats to keep complex efforts organized, aligned, and progressing on schedule.
- Anticipate project risks, dependencies, and next steps; take proactive action to mitigate issues before they arise.
- Coordinate and facilitate discussions across multiple functional areas including Product, Operations, Risk, Compliance, Finance, and Customer Experience.
- Partner closely with leadership and business owners to define project scope, business requirements, and success metrics.
- Provide clear, concise, and consistent communication to all levels of stakeholders, including executive reporting and status updates.
- Support post-merger integration activities, ensuring operational readiness, business continuity, and customer impact mitigation.
- Drive a culture of accountability, organization, and proactive problem-solving within all project teams.
Required Skills:
- 8–10+ years of project management experience in the financial services industry, with proven experience managing large, complex business transformation or integration projects.
- Demonstrated experience in Credit Card, Debit Card, Treasury Management, or Merchant Services programs.
- M&A experience strongly preferred—leading or supporting business integration workstreams during merger or acquisition efforts.
- Strong understanding of business operations, customer impacts, and regulatory considerations in financial services.
- Exceptional organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
- Outstanding communication, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills—comfortable influencing at all levels, including executives.
- Highly proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and the ability to anticipate project needs and next steps without direction.
