Program Manager (Junior–Mid Level) | Long-Term Consulting | $1T Global Asset Manager | NYC

A $1T+ global asset manager is looking for a sharp, self-directed Program Manager for a long-term, open-ended consulting role in Midtown Manhattan. You'll keep a team of project managers on track and give senior leaders a clear view of what's happening across the portfolio. You'll also use AI tools every day to work faster and smarter.

You must have worked inside a large financial services company. We're looking for people with hands-on experience at a big bank, asset manager, insurer or other global financial firm. Startup or small-company experience alone won't be enough.

What you'll do

• Keep the PM team on track. Run a weekly meeting with all project managers to review budgets, proposals, progress and risks.
• Report to senior leaders. Write executive overviews for each project and present updates to senior management.
• Manage budgets and time tracking. Collect and analyze time tracking so every project stays within budget.
• Handle compliance and governance. Work with the global PMO to understand new compliance requirements and roll them out across projects.
• Run team operations. Keep the org chart current and manage onboarding for new joiners.
• Solve problems on your own. Spot issues, figure out fixes and move them forward without waiting to be told.

What we're looking for

• Program or project management experience at a large financial services company
• Current, hands-on use of AI tools to get real work done. Think ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or similar for reporting, analysis, presentations and automation. You'll have access to every AI tool available, so we want someone with imagination who will use them.
• Confidence to work directly with senior leaders and to own your work without close supervision
• Strong skills in budgets, finance tracking and governance
• Excellent organization and communication, including building executive-ready presentations
• Knowledge of asset management or capital markets is a plus

Why apply

• High visibility, with regular exposure to senior leaders
• Long-term, open-ended consulting engagement
• Full access to enterprise AI tools, and room to be creative with them
• Immediate start
