VP Threat & Identity 

Are you an experienced IT Project Manager?

 

Do you like working on transformation projects?

 

Then the role of IT Project Manager in the banking sector will be appealing to you!

 

We are looking for a Senior IT Project Manager for one of our key clients in Zürich, a global private banking leader undergoing a major core‑banking transformation.

 

This is a hands‑on delivery role ,perfect for someone who enjoys being close to the technology, leading complex workstreams, and driving real change rather than focusing on slides and steering committees.

 

In this position, you will take ownership of pricing‑related initiatives, including the Pricing Portal and Cost Simulation solutions. You will guide cross‑functional teams across data, applications, and migration topics within an Avaloq‑centric landscape.

 

Your mission: keep timelines aligned, ensure cross‑team integration, manage risks early, and translate technical complexity into clear updates for senior management.

 

You’ll work directly with senior leadership, acting as the bridge between IT and business. The setup is matrix‑driven and dynamic, with 10–15 team members depending on the stream, making strong communication and stakeholder management essential.

 

You will organize delivery meetings, maintain integrated plans, oversee dependencies, and ensure traceability from business requirements all the way to implementation. Supporting testing phases and transition‑to‑operations will also be part of your scope.

 

A background in banking or pricing is a great advantage, but candidates coming from other industries with large‑scale transformation and migration experience are welcome. Familiarity with Agile, SAFe, Jira, Confluence, or Azure DevOps is helpful, alongside an analytical mindset, independence, and a strong sense of responsibility.

 

This is a 11 month contracting role, with a potential duration until 2028.

 

If you're looking for a role where you can truly influence outcomes, work with modern delivery practices, and be part of a strategic transformation, this opportunity is the right match.
