Role Summary
The Project Manager will support a strategic initiative to streamline and improve the bank’s fragmented supplier onboarding process. The role will coordinate multiple workstreams involving third-party risk, strategic sourcing, legal, technology, and other supporting functions.
The primary focus will be documenting the current-state process, identifying gaps and pain points, designing improved workflows, and creating clear process maps that can be transitioned to the operations team.
Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support process-improvement activities across approximately five to six supplier-onboarding workstreams.
• Facilitate discussions with stakeholders across third-party risk, sourcing, legal, technology, and business functions.
• Develop detailed process maps and workflows using Microsoft Visio or similar tools.
• Capture all process steps, dependencies, decision points, handoffs, and controls.
• Challenge assumptions and identify gaps, redundancies, and inefficiencies.
• Document current-state processes and help design future-state workflows.
• Recommend practical improvements to reduce fragmentation and improve efficiency.
• Translate stakeholder feedback and pain points into actionable process enhancements.
• Ensure completed process documentation is accurate, logical, comprehensive, and operationally usable.
• Partner with the initiative lead or overall project manager to track progress across workstreams.

Required Qualifications

• Approximately 5–7 years of relevant project management, process improvement, business process analysis, or workflow documentation experience.
• Advanced experience developing detailed process maps and workflows.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Visio or comparable process-mapping tools.
• Ability to facilitate stakeholder discussions and gather information from multiple teams.
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills.
• Ability to identify process gaps, challenge assumptions, and recommend improvements.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to quickly learn complex, fragmented business processes and connect information across workstreams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Banking or financial-services experience.
• Experience with third-party risk management or supplier/vendor onboarding.
• Experience streamlining supplier onboarding or procurement-related processes.
• Knowledge of banking controls, regulatory requirements, or risk-management practices.
• Visio or process-mapping certification.
• Workflow optimization, Lean, Six Sigma, or business process management experience.

Ideal Candidate Profile
The strongest candidate will be a process-focused project manager who has deep experience creating operationally useful process maps, facilitating cross-functional discussions, and improving inefficient workflows. Banking or financial-services experience—particularly involving third-party risk and supplier onboarding—would be a significant advantage.
