Knowledge, Skills, and/or Abilities: • Minimum of 7–10 years of program/project management experience. • A self-starter with strong organizational and written communication skills. • Demonstrated success managing M&A integrations or large-scale programs. • Strong written communication and planning discipline; clear, structured documentation is a must. • Proven ability to lead in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Math, Computer Science, Business, or a data-related field. • Experience in Microsoft Project, Microsoft Planner, Power Apps, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Teams, Office Suite, and AI-powered automation tools preferred. • Experience in Wealth Management is a strong plus.
