About the role:

As a Project Manager Lead within the Lending business, you will conduct the delivery of large, complex client projects across the full lending lifecycle. You will manage high‑visibility delivery, coordinate multi‑disciplinary global teams, and ensure predictable outcomes across scope, schedule, cost, quality, and risk.

What you will be doing:

• Taking full responsibility for all aspects of managing your portfolio of projects, including detailed budgeting and tracking, project administration and leading a diverse team of consultants and specialists day-to-day.

• Influencing client and FIS stakeholders at a high level by careful, confident factual presentation of relevant project statuses, using your ability to understand and articulate alternative approaches that drive meaningful governance of the projects.

• Applying quality standards and holding teams within and outside of FIS accountable for delivering according to contractual agreements; using change control procedures to reflect deviations from scope, timing or assumptions made in project definition.

• Mastering a complex ecosystem of enterprise project management tools such as Planview and Monday.com to develop and maintain accurate project plans, analyze risks and issues, forecast resource usage levels and budget overruns or underruns, and generate invoices, status reports and other PM deliverables consistent with FIS best practice.

• Showing confident ownership and coordination even under pressure when running video conferences, team meetings or when visiting client sites as sometimes required to represent FIS onsite for key client projects. You will develop your abilities as an intuitive communicator.

• Thinking beyond the obvious and actively working your network across all functions within FIS to identify possible process improvements, helping the company succeed and deliver even more value to our clients.

• Understanding of IT project methodologies and life cycles, e.g., conversions, incremental, rapid delivery, classic or traditional waterfall phases of analysis, design, development, testing, implementation. You should be able to describe confidently the context in which agile methods can be applied, the advantages and disadvantages.

• Knowledge of financial services industry or willingness to use existing professional services experience in other bluechip industries to gain expertise in what fintech projects must deliver.

• Skill in the use of negotiation techniques to reach agreement when there are widely-differing viewpoints; excellent analysis, problem-solving, team, conflict management and time management skills.

• Energy, enthusiasm, confidentiality, discretion and patience to handle difficult situations and continue to drive important projects and programs forward over a long timescale when there are delays and setbacks.
