We are seeking an Agile Project Manager Level 3 to support a large-scale, bank-wide cybersecurity initiative known as Frontier. This role will coordinate multiple security workstreams across business units, ensuring milestones, dependencies, risks, and deliverables remain on track. The program is centrally managed, and this position will serve as an extension of the existing program office, focusing on execution and coordination within assigned business areas. The goal is to free up engineers currently handling project coordination so they can focus on vulnerability remediation and other technical security work.

• Coordinate implementation schedules and dependencies across multiple teams.
• Support initiatives related to network segmentation, access management, and other applicable cybersecurity priorities.
• Attend twice-weekly bank-wide Frontier program meetings and communicate relevant updates to development managers.
• Escalate risks and blockers through appropriate leadership channels.
• Partner with team leads to maintain accountability and alignment with the overall program plan.

Required Skills

• 5–7+ years of experience in project management, program coordination, PMO, or related technology initiatives preferred.
• Experience supporting technology-based initiatives, such as software development, infrastructure, security, or cybersecurity.
• Strong organizational, communication, coordination, and stakeholder-management skills.
• Ability to track multiple workstreams, dependencies, risks, milestones, and deliverables simultaneously.
• Comfortable working with technical teams and communicating project status to leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working within a cybersecurity or security-focused PMO.
• Exposure to large-scale technology transformation programs.
• Experience coordinating security initiatives such as network segmentation, access management, or vulnerability remediation.
• Project Management Professional (PMP) or Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) certification.
• Experience with Jira, ServiceNow, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Banking or financial services experience is beneficial but not required.
