We’re looking for an Agile Project Manager experienced in Fintech to join our largest client’s team — a wealth management platform for investment advisors.
It’s a hybrid role that combines the responsibilities of a Scrum Master with a forward-looking scope into broader project management. The Agile Project Manager is responsible for facilitating Agile practices, removing impediments, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring successful and timely delivery of project objectives. While currently focused on Scrum-based delivery, the role is expected to gradually take ownership of project planning, risk management, and coordination across multiple teams or workstreams. This position requires strong Agile facilitation skills, stakeholder management, and a mindset geared toward both team empowerment and project delivery accountability.
What is the project about?
As the only technology platform to fully integrate Online Wealth Management, CRM and Portfolio Management in a seamless solution, our client’s platform offers RIAs a comprehensive, integrated experience with flexibility across workflows, data and usability, empowering advisors to aggregate assets by deepening the client relationship through both traditional face-to-face advice and completely digital, low-touch interaction. Founded by a team of experienced and creative financial and technology executives, it is the most powerful and scalable platform for the investment advisor community — advisorengine.com (USA)
