The Company

We are partnering with a specialized global financial services consulting firm, renowned for its market-leading presence and complex, high-impact institutional banking operations.

The Team 

You will join a high-visibility regional transformation and project management team dedicated to the end-to-end deployment of Loan IQ across Corporate Banking and Credit Operations. Acting as the central bridge between Business, Operations, and IT across regional territories and global headquarters, the team is responsible for defining the Target Operating Model (TOM), harmonizing local market specificities, and driving process industrialization for Loan Syndication, Credit Transaction Management, and Agency Operations.

The Role 

As the Operations Project Manager (Consultant), you will lead the Operations workstream for the Loan IQ implementation, driving process chain reviews, gap analyses, and the comparison of local operational practices to replace legacy systems. You will define high-level business requirements, design the regional booking model, and prepare critical implementation pre-requisites—such as simplifying shared facilities and executing book clean-ups (including Asian Currency Unit vs. Domestic Banking Unit structures)—while aligning with global and regional TOM strategies. Beyond scoping, data analysis, and migration planning, you will facilitate stakeholder workshops, produce executive governance materials for Steering and Operating Committees, and oversee User Acceptance Testing (UAT), training, change management, and issue resolution to ensure a seamless transition to Business-As-Usual (BAU).

The Requirements

• Proven experience as an Operations Project Manager or Business Analyst within Corporate Banking, specifically in Credit processing chains with a strong focus on Loan Syndication (LS), Credit Transaction Management, and Agency Operations.

• Hands-on functional knowledge of Loan IQ (LIQ) and commercial lending/credit lifecycle systems, alongside a solid technical understanding of Global Banking and Corporate Credit products.

• Strong track record in end-to-end Target Operating Model (TOM) design, business process re-engineering, gap analysis, data analysis, and translating operational needs into IT system requirements.

• Demonstrated experience managing full project lifecycles, including project scoping, migration planning, UAT coordination, change management, and producing governance materials (e.g., Steering Committee and Operating Committee decks, progress reports).

• Exceptional stakeholder management and workshop facilitation skills, with the ability to challenge outcomes and coordinate effectively across Operations SMEs, IT, Front Office Business, and senior management across regional and global levels.

• Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and structured problem-solver capable of operating with a high degree of autonomy under pressure.

• Proactive, innovative mindset with the ability to navigate complex, novel transformation environments and anticipate operational risks.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, solid work ethic, and advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office.
