Role Overview:

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager (non-technical, generalist) to support a large-scale corporate divestiture and transition initiative within a regulated financial environment.

This is a functional delivery and stakeholder-focused role, responsible for big-picture coordination, tracking, and execution across multiple subsidiaries and workstreams.

• Manage complex stakeholder relationships, including internal business leaders, external partners, and vendors
• Track and manage risks, issues, and critical milestones, escalating proactively when needed
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (legal, compliance, operations, finance, technology-without owning technical delivery)
• Ensure governance, approvals, and decision logs are clearly documented and maintained
• Support executive communications with clear, concise status updates and delivery insights
• Maintain focus on outcomes, scope control, and delivery health, rather than technical execution

Must-Have Qualifications

• Project Management experience in large, complex enterprise environments
• Proven experience leading divestitures, M&A integrations, or major corporate transitions
• Strong stakeholder management and executive communication skills
• Non-technical, business-focused PM background (functional delivery, not hands-on technical execution)

• Exceptional planning, tracking, and reporting skills with the ability to manage ambiguity
• Comfort operating at the big-picture level while keeping critical details in check
