About The Position

As a Project Manager within Treasury, you will serve as a central point of coordination across a portfolio of high-priority initiatives during a pivotal period for the organization. This role sits at the intersection of regulatory transformation and strategic growth, supporting execution related to our transition to Category III regulatory standards, legal entity integration, and broader Treasury priorities. Working closely with the Treasury Chief of Staff, you will help bring structure, transparency, and accountability to complex, fast-moving workstreams. You will play a critical role in ensuring initiatives maintain momentum, stakeholders remain aligned, and key deliverables are executed on time.
