Role Overview
On behalf of our client, a leading global capital markets institution, we are seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager / PMO to support a high-profile, enterprise-wide regulatory transformation program.
In this role, you will represent the Markets organization to ensure execution discipline, track progress against key regulatory commitments, and embed rigorous PMO governance across cross-functional teams.
Key Responsibilities

- Business Execution: Serve as an active representative of the Markets business to drive project deliverables and ensure alignment with core organizational goals.
- Business Line Engagement: Facilitate direct working sessions with Markets product desks to translate regulatory requirements into actionable business workflows.
- Issue Resolution & Risk Mitigation: Apply deep domain experience to spot emerging issues and bottlenecks early. Clearly articulate challenges, convene the right cross-functional partners, and manage issues through to verified resolution and closure.
- Structured Delivery Frameworks: Guide and train project teams on decomposing complex, multi-variable initiatives into clear, measurable tasks and sub-tasks with defined accountability.
