Role Overview

We are looking for a Program Manager who combines strategic clarity, ownership, and empathy to lead cross-functional programs that deliver measurable impact.

The Program Manager will work with business, technology, and operations stakeholders to ensure delivery excellence, foster innovation, and build trust with clients.

Key Responsibilities

Program Leadership & Strategy

  • Define and execute program roadmaps aligned with business objectives and industry best practices.

Stakeholder & Client Engagement

  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and clients, shaping decisions through insight and data.
  • Manage stakeholder expectations with transparency, ensuring alignment across diverse business and technology groups.
  • Build lasting relationships by demonstrating accountability, empathy, and business understanding.

Execution & Governance

  • Lead multiple projects under one program umbrella, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery.
  • Establish risk and issue management frameworks, proactively mitigating challenges.
  • Oversee financials, budgets, and resource allocation with discipline and accountability.

Agile & Cultural Leadership

  • Champion Agile/SAFe practices, not just as delivery frameworks but as enablers of collaboration, learning, and adaptability.
  • Coach and mentor program teams, helping them evolve in ownership, curiosity, and purpose.
  • Promote psychological safety and peer support to strengthen delivery culture.

Innovation & Industry Awareness

  • Stay ahead of regulatory, technological, and domain-specific trends (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA, Open Banking, Digital Health).
  • Leverage AI-first, automation-driven approaches to optimize program efficiency and decision-making.
  • Drive experimentation and continuous improvement by questioning the status quo.

Qualifications & Skills

  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Business, Engineering, or related field.
  • Experience: 8–10 years of program/project management with exposure to finance, payments, healthcare, or digital transformation.
  • Leadership: Proven ability to inspire, coach, and mentor teams, not just manage tasks.
  • Methodologies: Proficiency in Agile, Scrum, SAFe, PMP, or Prince2.
  • Technical Acumen: Understanding of software development, cloud, or enterprise transformation.
  • Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to finance, payments, or healthcare.
  • Communication: Strong written and verbal communication with the ability to influence senior stakeholders.
  • Problem-Solving: Analytical mindset with comfort in ambiguity and a bias for action.

Preferred Certifications

  • PMP, PgMP, Prince2, or SAFe Certification
  • Certified Scrum Master (CSM) or SAFe Agilist
  • Domain-specific certifications (e.g., CFA, CHFP, or Digital Transformation certifications)

  • Be part of a 1% Engineer Club culture where ownership, curiosity, and purpose shape outcomes.
  • Work with cutting-edge digital transformation initiatives in finance, payments, and healthcare.
