The role will initially support Controllership, Tax, and Internal Audit, with the opportunity to expand into additional finance functions based on program priorities and business needs. The Senior Project Manager will serve as the central point of coordination across Finance, PMO, and cross-functional stakeholders to drive execution, governance, decision-making, and organizational readiness. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment and enjoys solving complex business and organizational challenges.
