Location: Hybrid – NYC

Duration: 12+ months

Start: ASAP

A leading wealth management technology organization is seeking an experienced Program Manager/Scrum Master to take ownership of a program currently flagged at-risk (red status) and drive it back to a healthy delivery state (green). This role requires managing three concurrent Scrum teams, so strong multi-team coordination, stakeholder management, and servant-leadership skills are essential. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and can quickly diagnose and resolve delivery blockers.

Profile:

• Must have solid PM fundamentals and be actively involved in project execution, not just high-level oversight.
• Strong experience with project financials/budget management.
• Must be hands-on with Jira.

Strong understanding and practical experience with both:

• Agile
• Waterfall

Nice to Have

• Prior experience specifically in wealth management or asset management technology platforms
