  • Identify risks, manage dependencies, and proactively problem-solve to keep initiatives on track
  • Communicate clearly with stakeholders, including providing executive-level updates on progress, risks, and decisions
  • Help build and refine scalable processes, tools, and workflows that improve how work gets done across the firm

What Success Looks Like

  • Projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned to business objectives
  • Teams are aligned, informed, and working effectively across functions
  • Risks are anticipated and addressed early
  • Leadership has clear visibility into progress, outcomes, and decisions
  • Scalable, repeatable processes are developed to support continued growth
Qualifications:

What You Bring

  • 10 years of experience leading complex, cross-functional projects or programs
  • Proven ability to manage initiatives from planning through implementation
  • Experience with Agile, Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid delivery approaches; relevant certifications (PMP, CSM, PSM) are a plus
  • Strong project planning, documentation, and stakeholder communication skills
  • Ability to build relationships and collaborate effectively across teams
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree preferred
  • Experience in financial services, fintech, or SaaS is a plus

What Sets Savant Apart

  • Collaborative, integrated model across advisory, tax, and planning—no silos

  • Growth-oriented firm, offering meaningful opportunities for career development and long-term impact

  • Values-driven culture, grounded in excellence, integrity, lifelong learning, respect, growth, and servant leadership

  • Majority employee-owned, giving our team a shared stake in our long-term success
