Infrastructure Project Manager @SMBC Group

Tralee, IE

As an IT Project Manager at SMBC, one of the world’s largest and most respected financial institutions, I lead critical infrastructure, architectural, and cloud initiatives that support the bank’s global operations. In this role, I established a dedicated Project Management Office (PMO) within the Architecture and Engineering department, delivering tailored project governance to manage the department’s complex technical infrastructure, distinct from the bank\'s central PMO. I’ve significantly enhanced project oversight and stakeholder engagement, enabling the successful execution of large-scale infrastructure projects while ensuring alignment with SMBC’s wider business objectives.
