Overview

We are seeking a Senior Project Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery of a Consumer Data Right (CDR) regulatory program.

The role will be responsible for driving planning, execution and governance across technology, data, risk and compliance teams to ensure regulatory readiness and successful program delivery.  Operating with a high degree of autonomy and executive visibility, this position requires a hands-on delivery leader who is comfortable owning outcomes end to end within a multi-stakeholder environment.
