The successful candidate will be accountable for end-to-end delivery governance and must be capable of independently managing project planning, execution, milestones, scope, dependencies, risks, quality, financial/delivery commitments, and client communications.\n\nThe individual must be highly data-driven, able to identify delivery risks early, maintain an accurate and defensible project position, and confidently lead discussions with senior client and internal stakeholders.\n\nKey Responsibilities:\nOwn overall project delivery across requirements, grooming, development, QA, UAT, release, production deployment, and hypercare.\nEstablish and maintain clear project milestones, deliverables, ownership, dependencies, and completion criteria.\nContinuously track baseline vs. actual vs. forecast dates.\nIdentify delivery slippage early and establish corrective and recovery actions.\nEnsure commitments made to the client are tracked through completion.\nDrive cross-functional teams toward agreed delivery milestones.\nDemonstrated hands-on expertise in Microsoft Project (MPP) is mandatory.\nIndependently create, maintain, and manage detailed end-to-end integrated project plans in Microsoft Project.\nDevelop project schedules covering requirements/grooming, development, QA, UAT, release, production deployment, and hypercare.\nEstablish and manage project baselines.\nMaintain baseline, actual, and forecast dates throughout project execution.\nDefine and manage task dependencies, predecessors/successors, milestones, constraints, and critical paths.\nRegularly update MPP schedules based on actual delivery progress.\nIdentify schedule slippage and quantify downstream milestone impacts.\nBuild recovery and catch-up plans when delivery deviates from the baseline.\nModel schedule impacts resulting from scope changes, dependencies, resource constraints, and changes in delivery velocity.\nTranslate detailed MPP schedules into executive-level milestone views and client-facing delivery plans.\nEnsure alignment between MPP, Jira, RAID/dependency trackers, and client status reporting so that all governance artifacts reflect a consistent delivery position.\nEstablish and maintain strong project governance and reporting discipline.\nEnsure Jira accurately reflects current project status and delivery progress.\nReconcile Jira, MPP, project trackers, and client-facing status reports.\nTrack planned vs. actual delivery at milestone and workstream levels.\nEnsure scope, story counts, completion percentages, milestone dates, and forecasts are validated before client reporting.\nEnsure risks, issues, actions, and dependencies have clear owners and target resolution dates.\nProduce fact-based project reporting rather than commentary-based status reporting.\nProactively identify risks before they become delivery or milestone issues.\nMaintain comprehensive RAID and dependency tracking.\nQuantify the schedule and delivery impact of dependencies.\nEstablish required-by dates for external and internal dependencies.\nIdentify dependencies affecting the project critical path.\nEstablish mitigation and contingency plans.\nEscalate risks early with supporting facts and evidence.\nDrive owners to closure rather than simply documenting risks and issues.\nProvide recovery options when milestones are at risk.\nAct as a senior delivery representative in client-facing discussions.\nLead project status, governance, planning, risk, dependency, and escalation discussions.\nCommunicate confidently with senior client and internal stakeholders.\nPresent complex delivery situations clearly and concisely.\nEnsure escalations are supported by accurate project data and evidence.\nProfessionally challenge assumptions where project data supports a different conclusion.\nMaintain clear documentation of decisions, commitments, assumptions, and actions.\nBuild and maintain client confidence through transparency, accuracy, and proactive communication.\nMaintain strong control over project scope, particularly within a fixed-price/fixed-budget engagement.\nMaintain clear scope baselines.\nPrevent uncontrolled scope expansion.\nIdentify and document changes affecting scope, timeline, effort, or delivery commitments.\nQuantify the schedule and resource impacts of proposed changes.\nMaintain appropriate change and decision logs.\nEnsure material changes follow agreed change-control processes.\nClearly differentiate between defects, requirements clarifications, enhancements, and change requests.\nWork closely with QA, engineering, architecture, and business teams to establish measurable readiness criteria.\nTrack QA and UAT progress against the project baseline.\nEnsure defects and testing dependencies are accurately reported.\nMonitor defect trends and their impact on milestones.\nTrack QA automation progress where applicable.\nDrive timely resolution of UAT blockers.\nEnsure regression testing and release-readiness activities are incorporated into the overall plan.\nEnsure go-live decisions are based on objective delivery and quality information.\nOwn preparation and execution of project governance activities, including daily delivery checkpoints, Start-of-Day / End-of-Day reviews where applicable, weekly project status meetings, RAID and dependency reviews, milestone reviews, release-readiness reviews, client governance meetings, Steering Committee updates, executive escalations, and recovery-plan reviews.\nStatus reporting must be data-driven, concise, current, and supported by underlying delivery evidence.\n\nRequired Skills and Experience:\n8+ years of overall technology delivery/project management experience.\n5+ years managing complex enterprise software implementations.\nDemonstrated experience managing projects within banking or financial services.\nDemonstrated experience managing fixed-price or fixed-scope engagements.\nStrong hands-on knowledge of Microsoft Project (MPP).\nDemonstrated ability to independently create and maintain complex integrated project schedules.\nStrong knowledge of project baselining, critical-path management, dependencies, forecasting, milestones, and recovery planning.\nStrong hands-on experience with Jira and Agile project delivery.\nStrong experience with RAID management, scope/change control, dependency management, forecasting, and project governance.\nAbility to manage requirements, development, QA, UAT, release, and production-readiness workstreams simultaneously.\nExperience managing geographically distributed offshore/onshore teams.\nProven ability to lead project status and escalation discussions with senior client stakeholders.\nExcellent written and verbal English communication.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to operate independently with limited senior-management intervention.\nHighly organized with exceptional attention to project data accuracy and delivery commitments.\n\nPreferred Skills:\nPMP, PRINCE2 Practitioner, PMI-ACP, or equivalent project management certification.\nCertified ScrumMaster (CSM), PSM, or equivalent Agile certification.\nPega implementation/delivery experience.\nPCBA certification or strong functional understanding of Pega.\nPega Smart Investigate / Smart Investigate Agentic Automation
