岗位职责
Looking for a highly experienced Senior IT Project Manager / Overall Project Manager to lead a critical digital transformation project involving the replacement of an existing vendor-developed client self-service front-end platform with a new internally developed solution.
· The successful candidate will take end-to-end ownership of the project, acting as the primary face of the project and working closely with technology teams, business stakeholders, vendors and senior management.
· This is a high-risk business-critical project, as the existing platform is already live and actively used by clients. The successful candidate must therefore have strong experience delivering customer-facing web and mobile platforms, managing system replacement and integration projects, and ensuring a seamless production cutover with minimal disruption to users.
· The role requires more than traditional project coordination. We are looking for a hands-on and highly accountable project leader who can anticipate risks, challenge requirements, identify gaps, support QA/UAT activities and ensure that technology, people and processes are appropriately transformed.
Key Responsibilities
Project Leadership & Delivery
· Take overall ownership and accountability for the successful delivery of the project from initiation through production go-live and stabilisation.
· Act as the primary point of contact and face of the project, providing regular updates to senior management and key stakeholders.
· Develop and manage project plans, milestones, dependencies, resources, budgets, risks and deliverables.
· Drive cross-functional teams towards project objectives, timelines and quality expectations.
· Coordinate closely with technology, business, QA, vendors and other relevant stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
· Escalate critical issues promptly and drive them through to resolution.
Web & Mobile Front-End Delivery
· Lead the delivery of customer-facing web and mobile front-end solutions.
· Ensure the new platform provides functional continuity with the existing live solution while supporting enhanced capabilities.
· Oversee the implementation of critical client self-service functions across web and mobile channels.
· Ensure front-end solutions are properly integrated with existing backend, enterprise and legacy systems.
· Manage dependencies across application, integration, infrastructure, security and other technology components.
System Replacement & Production Readiness
· Lead the replacement of an existing live vendor-developed front-end with an internally developed solution.
· Conduct comprehensive gap analysis between the existing and target platforms.
· Ensure existing business-critical functions are retained or appropriately enhanced.
· Identify hidden dependencies, functional gaps, technical risks and potential production issues before go-live.
· Develop and manage detailed cutovers, deployment, rollback and production-readiness plans.
· Ensure comprehensive testing and business readiness prior to production deployment.
· Drive a seamless Day-1 go-live with minimal disruption to clients and business operations.
Risk Management & Quality Assurance
· Proactively identify, assess and mitigate project, technology, operational and business risks.
· Look beyond documented risks and actively investigate potential unknowns, dependencies and failure points.
· Work closely with QA and technology teams to ensure sufficient test coverage.
· Participate actively in QA, UAT and functional validation were required.
· Ensure testing covers positive, negative, exception, boundary and real-world scenarios.
· Challenge gaps in testing and ensure critical customer journeys are properly validated.
· Lead issue resolution and ensure production-impacting defects are addressed before go-live.
Business Analysis & Process Improvement
· Work closely with business users to understand the underlying business problem rather than simply implementing stated requirements.
· Challenge requirements where appropriate and identify opportunities to simplify, automate or modernise existing processes.
· Identify legacy processes, manual workarounds and inefficient practices that may negatively impact the proposed solution.
· Apply Business Process Reengineering (BPR) principles were required.
· Ensure proposed solutions are scalable, sustainable and future proof.
· Prevent the implementation of expensive technology solutions that simply replicate inefficient legacy processes.
· Help transform technology, people and processes together to deliver sustainable business outcomes.
Stakeholder & Vendor Management
· Manage relationships with business stakeholders, technology teams, vendors and senior management.
· Work effectively with vendors to obtain necessary technical and functional information, identify gaps and manage dependencies.
· Proactively ask the right questions and ensure critical information is obtained before key project decisions are made.
· Manage stakeholder expectations and facilitate timely decision-making.
· Represent the project at steering committees, governance forums and senior management meetings.
Requirements
· 10–20 years of experience in IT project management, programme management or technology delivery.
· Strong experience managing web and mobile front-end projects from initiation through production launch.
· Proven experience delivering customer-facing digital platforms, portals, mobile applications or online trading/investment platforms.
· Experience in banking/brokerage, securities, investment, capital markets or financial services is highly preferred.
· Experience managing replacement, migration or transformation of an existing live system.
· Experience working with vendor-developed platforms and/or transitioning solutions from vendor ownership to internally developed/in-house solutions is highly advantageous.
· Strong understanding of application integration, APIs, backend dependencies and legacy systems.
· Demonstrated experience managing high-risk production cutovers and business-critical go-live activities.
· Strong knowledge of project governance, risk management, issue management, UAT, QA and production readiness.
· Strong business analysis and requirements management capabilities.
· Experience in business process improvement, process optimisation or BPR is highly advantageous.
· Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, including experience engaging senior management.
· Ability to challenge business requirements constructively and identify the actual problem behind a requested IT solution.
· Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills.
· Highly hands-on, proactive and accountable with a strong "end-to-end ownership" mindset.
