Project Manager

Join the company defining what it means to be an Impact Lender!

Mortgages are what we do, but that doesn't define who we are. In 2008, Movement disrupted the industry with the innovative 6-7-1 mortgage process. In 2023, we pioneered again, helping launch Impact Lending – a new category of lending. Any mortgage lender that commits at least 10% of its profits to helping the neighborhoods it serves is an Impact Lender.

At Movement, we are Impact Lenders. We give 40%-50% of our profits to making an impact in our communities. For us, purpose and people have always come before profit.

Key Responsibilities

1. AI Innovation Lab Management

2. Vendor Contracts, Spend, and Licensing

• Help establish and document a simple, repeatable license request and approval process

4. Utilization and Consumption Tracking

• Use consumption data to inform renewal decisions, right-sizing, and vendor negotiations

5. AI Build Inventory: Who Is Building What and How Is It Going

• Maintain a living, organization-wide inventory of all AI projects, pilots, and builds in flight, capturing what is being built, by whom, with what tool, for what business purpose, and at what stage
• Establish a lightweight intake process so that new AI initiatives are captured, logged, and reviewed before resources are committed or tools are provisioned
• Conduct regular check-ins with project owners to gather status updates, surface blockers, and ensure progress is being made against commitments
• Produce a recurring AI portfolio status report for the Business Operations Manager and senior leadership that reflects current state across all active builds

6. Corporate AI Prioritization

• Maintain a running ledger of documented efficiency gains and translate results into executive-ready reporting and business impact narratives

• Advanced proficiency with Microsoft 365, particularly Excel, SharePoint, Teams, and project tracking tools
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to present clearly to executives and drive meetings
• A bias for building structure: you create frameworks, templates, and processes proactively, not reactively
