About SymphonyAI Financial Services:

SymphonyAI Financial Services is the global leader in AI-powered financial crime prevention. We provide SensaAI and NetReveal, combining AI and non-AI software, to help over 300 banks, insurers, and financial firms prevent money laundering, fraud, sanctions breaches, and market abuse.

Overview:

As a Technical Project Manager, you will own the end-to-end delivery of SensaAI and NetReveal deployments at major financial institutions. You will lead complex, multi-stream projects spanning transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, KYC, and fraud, and act as the single point of accountability for delivery quality, timelines, regulatory readiness, and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Run Strong, Modern Project Management: Lead single-workstream or small multi-workstream projects within an existing customer engagement, typically spanning engineering, data science, and customer IT. Maintain rigorous operating cadence: kickoff, weekly delivery, risk and issue management, change control, financial tracking, lessons learned, and regulator-grade documentation.
  • Contribute to delivery of assets that the rest of the Financial Services AI Value Delivery practice can reuse. Use AI tools in your own workflow for planning, status synthesis, risk analysis, alert and scenario review, customer artifacts, and quality checks.
  • Drive and champion AI adoption within teams by actively motivating and enabling individuals to integrate AI into their daily workflows.
  • Deploy AI Financial Crime Technology Successfully, In Production: Own the end-to-end delivery of SensaAI and NetReveal projects, ensuring alignment on schedule, budget, quality, and risk.
  • Engage senior TPMs for scope-change decisions, commercial trade-offs, and complex risk calls. Orchestrate cross-functional teams to ensure the technical solution is coherent, compliant, and delivers against agreed financial crime objectives.
  • Operationalize the AI value case in production with the bank to instrument and track the outcomes that matter.
  • Produce model risk management evidence packs that satisfy regulatory regimes.
  • Manage Senior Bank Stakeholders with Rigor and Empathy: Co-lead the customer relationship with the engagement manager, serving as the day-to-day delivery counterpart to the bank's program leads.
  • Run working-level status meetings, delivery reviews, and decision forums with crisp status, evidence, and clear asks.
  • Guide the bank through change management for investigators, model reviewers, and front-line ops.
  • Negotiate scope conversations honestly inside a fixed-price, regulated, audit-trailed environment.
  • Commercial and Business Growth: Draft Statements of Work, commercial proposals, scope assessments, and change control for high-value engagements.
  • Report on project financial performance, including revenue, margin, cost-to-complete, forecasting, and risk/commercial exposure.
  • Identify opportunities for renewals, expansions, and adjacent service offerings.

What We Are Looking For:

Required:

  • At least 3 years of technical project management experience.
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex enterprise software or AI deployments end-to-end.
  • Strong technical fluency in modern AI and data systems.
  • Proven success managing senior stakeholders in regulated environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication in English.
  • Track record of running programs with discipline.
  • Readiness to travel for customer engagements at bank sites.

Strongly Preferred:

  • Prior career foundation in technology development or deployment role before transitioning into project or program management.
  • Direct financial services delivery experience: anti-money laundering, sanctions screening, KYC, fraud, market surveillance, payments, or core banking.
  • Hands-on exposure to SensaAI, NetReveal, or competing financial crime platforms.
  • Working knowledge of the regulatory landscape that shapes our deployments.
  • Experience deploying AI or analytics into bank production environments.
  • PMP, Prince2, SAFe, CAMS, or equivalent certification.
  • Experience working across global delivery teams.
