The Project Analyst supports finance transformation initiatives, oversees project execution, manages financial data, and ensures compliance with governance standards while coordinating with various stakeholders.
The Project Analyst will support end-to-end delivery of Finance transformation initiatives across the bank. This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Technology, and Governance—tracking execution, controlling numbers, and ensuring projects don’t drift or burn money quietly.
If someone can’t handle ambiguity, data, and senior stakeholders at the same time, they’ll fail here.

- Ensure compliance with bank governance, audit, and regulatory standards

- Regulatory / Audit exposure
- Proven experience in project tracking and governance for enterprise initiatives
