Senior Project Manager
About the Opportunity:
A well-established financial services organisation with a strong presence in funds management is looking for a Senior Project Manager. The business is going through a period of change and is focused on continuous improvement, innovation, and delivering high-quality outcomes for investors.
Why this role matters:
This Senior Project Manager is coming in to support on the delivery for a defined slate of investment operations and technology projects, working hand-in-hand with a dedicated Business Analyst rather than through the broader project delivery structure. You'll be accountable for keeping delivery on track operations projects, tooling change, and digital product launches.
What you'll lead & influence:
6-month contract, Auckland based, with a mix of office and flexible working. All applications are confidential. Apply directly, or contact louise@evolverecruitment.co.nz / tram@evolverecruitment.co.nz

- Solid experience as a Project Manager within financial services, ideally funds management, investment operations, or wealth platforms
- Track record delivering technology and process change projects, ideally including platform, workflow, or digital delivery
- Comfortable working alongside technology teams on data and platform-driven change - you don't need to be deeply technical, but you're not fazed by tech
- Strong, senior-level stakeholder management skills, the energy to build relationships fast, and the ability to hit the ground running
- Experience running delivery outside a formal, centralised structure - comfortable with autonomy and pace
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Genuine ownership of delivery for a defined body of work, working closely with senior leadership
- Exposure to end-to-end investment operations change and digital product delivery
- Fast-paced, purpose-driven work with meaningful outcomes for investors
