Associate Project Manager | FinXL Associate Program

Salary: $60k - $80k p.a. + super, annual leave, sick leave

About the FinXL Associate Program

This is not your standard entry-level role where you will be relegated to taking meeting minutes or completing administrative tasks.

Joining the FinXL Associate Program is a highly structured, fully supported launchpad designed to fast-track your career into a multifaceted Senior Project Manager. We bridge the gap between talented up-and-comers and Australia's leading enterprise organisations.

We know that to build top-tier PMs, we must invest heavily in them. As a FinXL Associate, you will receive:

  • Funded Certifications: FinXL will fully fund your Project Management Professional (PMP) or CAPM exams, including PMI memberships.

  • Dedicated Study Time: A mandated 90-minute time slot every Friday exclusively dedicated to your paid learning and development.

  • Cutting-Edge Upskilling: Formal enrollment in SAFe 6.1 (Scaled Agile) training, plus a 3-tiered AI training program to master tools like Microsoft Copilot.

  • The Buddy System: A structured pairing framework with a seasoned PM to share knowledge and ensure you are supported, preventing burnout.

  • Dedicated Workforce Management: Personal guidance, check-ins, and career advocacy from our internal team to ensure your long-term success and redeployment pathways.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a motivated, confident, and highly collaborative Associate Project Manager to join our consulting team.

You will be deployed onsite with a leading Tier-1 banking client in a flexible hybrid model (2 days per week in the Sydney CBD or Kogarah offices). From your first few months, you will be handed the reins to impactful, high-visibility transformation and infrastructure initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Project Ownership: Run project stand-ups, manage cross-functional resources, and oversee your own RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) logs.

  • Governance & Reporting: Monitor and report on project financials, scope, milestones, and deliverables.

  • Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the bridge between technical delivery teams and senior business executives, ensuring clear visibility and managed expectations.

  • Financial Administration: Assist in the preparation of cost estimates, funding approvals, and vendor performance reporting.

  • Framework Adherence: Ensure all delivery aligns with enterprise project methodologies and established frameworks.

What We Are Looking For

  • Personality: A bubbly, friendly, and confident personality with an open, engaging communication style.

  • Experience: Entry-level project management experience or proven exposure within a professional, corporate project environment.

  • Knowledge: A solid foundational understanding of project management concepts and methodologies.

  • Education: Tertiary qualifications or equivalent professional experience.

  • Mindset: A true team player with strong collaborative skills who is ready to absorb feedback, learn rapidly, and take ownership.
