Project Manager (all genders)

Your role

As a Project Manager, you will lead transformation initiatives from initial scoping through implementation and rollout, turning strategic objectives into sustainable operations. You will manage a diverse portfolio spanning business process transfers, organizational changes, post-merger integrations, business development initiatives, and other complex projects. Working across functions, countries, and organizational boundaries, you will bring structure to complexity and keep projects moving with clear priorities and strong governance. You will define project plans, processes, and procedures that support consistent, high-quality delivery. You will identify risks early, agree effective mitigation plans, and monitor progress, quality, resources, and key performance indicators across the portfolio. You will provide concise status updates to senior management through governance calls and presentations. You will coordinate portfolio planning with project teams, the PMO, and key stakeholders, while identifying resource constraints and initiating timely adjustments. As the primary contact for issue escalation and resolution, you will ensure that project requirements, methodologies, tools, and templates are applied effectively. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional transformation managers, external partners, vendors, customers, tax providers, and service providers. You will also support research into new business opportunities, facilitate business development discussions, and help build lasting relationships with prospective and existing customers.
