Full description
Project Manager - AI-Powered • Geneva, CH • Full-time • Unlimited Your Role As Project Manager in our Artificial Intelligence Department, you run a strategic legacy transformation program end-to-end: a multi-year roadmap, a dedicated team, third-party suppliers and a firm deadline based on defined. You use the bank's internal AI ecosystem to stay ahead of status, risks and reporting - AI accelerates your work, you steer the program. You will join our newly established Artificial Intelligence and contribute to a strategic, multi-year legacy transformation program that modernizes core banking processes for our private banking business. You will be part of the AI team, leverage the bank's internal AI knowledge, tools and private-LLM ecosystem, and use AI to power your day-to-day work - while the focus of the role is on delivering the transformation, not on building AI products.
Your Responsibilities
- Own the program plan, budget and a strict release cadence, protecting the final hardening and target window
- Manage the steering committee, executive sponsors and the program's process-redesign governance with its sign-off gates
- Manage vendors and stakeholders, including third-party delivery teams and their integration & acceptance tracks
- Own the risk log - supplier slippage, hiring timelines, key-person dependencies, infrastructure capacity - with concrete mitigations and escalation paths
- Use AI-powered tooling from the bank's internal AI ecosystem for status reporting, risk analysis, meeting documentation and stakeholder communication
- Coordinate with internal specialists (integration, data migration, IT infrastructure) to keep environments and dependencies ready
Your Profile
- University degree in Business Administration, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- Minimum 7 years of experience managing complex software programs, ideally in banking or another regulated environment (large-scale legacy replacement is a strong plus)
- Proven track record with steering-committee governance, vendor management and budget responsibility
- Experience with agile delivery at program level (one team, strict WIP limits, regular release cadence)
- Hands-on experience using AI tools (LLM assistants, AI reporting and analysis tooling) in your daily workflow
- Certification (PMP, PRINCE2, SAFe or similar) is an advantage
- Fluency in English; other languages are an advantage

Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does J. Safra Sarasin offer?
This listing is a full-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with J.

Do I need a cross-border work permit for a role in Geneva?
EU/EFTA citizens living in an EU/EFTA state can apply for a G permit and can work anywhere in Switzerland: border zones no longer apply to them, and they must return home at least once a week. The Swiss employer files the request with Canton Geneva's migration office after the contract is signed.
