About the Role:

As the Senior Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in overseeing and driving the successful execution of IAM initiatives across the business. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, collaborating with both senior stakeholders and those at a more technical level. You'll be responsible for ensuring robust control mechanisms around IAM, understanding who has access to what security resources, and ensuring the right systems are in place to safeguard sensitive data across the organization.

This role is perfect for someone who has deep expertise in IAM, paired with hands-on experience working in asset management or financial services. You will be a senior leader who stays close to the operational details, ensuring every project element is meticulously executed.

• Lead and manage complex IAM projects from initiation to completion, ensuring alignment with business objectives and regulatory requirements.
• Understand and implement control mechanisms around IAM systems and processes to maintain optimal security access.
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite, technical teams, and business unit leaders.
• Act as the Change Lead, navigating the intersection of project delivery, change management, and business operations.
• Drive IAM system improvements, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and integrated across the organization.
• Oversee and monitor the overall progress of IAM projects, ensuring they meet key milestones, within budget, and on schedule.
• Maintain a thorough understanding of IAM best practices, security access controls, and industry standards to manage the firm's security posture effectively.

Requirements:

• Extensive experience as a Senior Project Manager with a proven track record in delivering IAM projects.
• Deep knowledge of IAM control mechanisms and their importance in maintaining security access across systems.
• Must have direct experience working within a Buy-Side Company - candidates without this background will not be considered.
• Experience working on large-scale IAM initiatives, collaborating with diverse teams to execute complex security projects.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage and influence senior leadership while managing day-to-day details.
• Must be hands-on enough to manage both the strategic and tactical aspects of IAM projects.
