Mid-Level Project Manager (100% Remote) / (6 Month Contract)

This is a true mid-level Project Manager (5–10 years) position focused on hands-on project planning, execution, and stakeholder management. This is not a senior-level Project Manager, Program Manager, Portfolio Manager, or PMO leadership role, and candidates should be comfortable owning day-to-day project delivery rather than program-level strategy and oversight.

About the Role

We are seeking a Mid-Level Project Manager to support a growing portfolio of strategic business and technology initiatives within an Enterprise PMO environment. This role is ideal for a delivery-focused Project Manager with experience in the banking, credit union, or financial services industry who can successfully lead projects using both traditional project management methodologies and Agile delivery practices.

Responsibilities

• Lead projects from initiation through delivery, ensuring scope, schedule, budget, and quality objectives are met.
• Develop and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones, status reports, and governance documentation.
• Coordinate cross-functional business and technology teams to drive successful project outcomes.
• Facilitate Agile ceremonies, including sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and backlog refinement sessions as needed.
• Manage project risks, issues, dependencies, and escalation processes.
• Communicate project status, key decisions, and risks to business leaders and executive stakeholders.
• Partner with business teams, vendors, and technical teams to ensure alignment and delivery success.
• Support enterprise transformation, operational improvement, and customer-facing initiatives.
• Proactively identify and remove roadblocks to maintain project momentum and delivery timelines.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of Project Management experience (mid-level PM role, 5–10 years).
• Experience managing projects within the banking, credit union, financial services, or regulated financial industry.
• Experience working within an Enterprise PMO environment.
• Scrum Master, PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, or related certifications.
• Experience leading digital transformation, operational improvement, or customer experience initiatives.
• Experience supporting technology-driven projects and cross-functional teams.
• Experience working with the project management tool Azure DevOps.
• Strong understanding of project management fundamentals, including scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder management.
• Experience delivering projects using both traditional/Waterfall methodologies and Agile and Scrum frameworks.
• Proven ability to create project plans and successfully drive execution.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across multiple organizational levels.
• Comfortable presenting project updates to managers, directors, and executive stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills.
• Demonstrated history of delivering projects on time and achieving business objectives.

Ideal Candidate

• Strong Agile/Scrum delivery experience.
• Traditional project management expertise.
