Location: 100% Remote

Overview

• This is a true Program Manager role, NOT a Project Manager position. Candidates must have experience in that capacity.
• We are seeking a hands-on high level Program Manager to lead a high-visibility data migration program that requires stronger structure, execution, and momentum.
• This role is ideal for a proactive, results-driven leader who thrives in complex environments and can quickly bring clarity, alignment, and progress across multiple interdependent initiatives.
• You will play a critical role in driving delivery, owning the program end-to-end, managing cross-functional dependencies, and engaging with top leadership to ensure successful outcomes.
• This is not a coordination-only role; we are looking for someone who actively drives execution and delivers results.

• Manage risks, timelines, and data integrity across multiple systems
• Coordinate across data, engineering, and business teams

Program Planning & Dependency Management

• Develop and manage end-to-end project plans (MS Project or similar)
• Identify and proactively manage cross-project dependencies and risks
• Establish clear milestones, deliverables, and timelines

Stakeholder & Executive Engagement

• Engage and influence VP-level stakeholders and senior leadership
• Lead steering committees and deliver executive-level status reporting
• Manage complex stakeholder dynamics and drive alignment

Governance, Reporting & Metrics

• Implement and enforce program governance frameworks
• Define and track KPIs and delivery metrics
• Use tools such as Azure DevOps (ADO) to generate meaningful reporting and insights

Driving Velocity & Accountability

• Identify bottlenecks and implement strategies to increase team velocity
• Hold teams accountable while fostering strong collaboration
• Ensure consistent progress and delivery against commitments

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Align multiple teams across technology, data, and business functions
• Drive clear and consistent communication across all stakeholders
• Promote transparency and ensure teams are working toward shared outcomes

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience as a high level Program Manager leading large, complex programs end-to-end
• Strong experience within financial services or banking environments
• Demonstrated success leading data migration programs at scale
• Expertise in project planning, dependency management, and program governance
• Strong stakeholder management skills, including VP-level engagement
• Hands-on experience with Agile/Scrum methodologies
• Proficiency with Azure DevOps (ADO) for tracking, reporting, and metrics
• Track record of driving measurable outcomes and improving delivery velocity

What We're Looking For

• A true "doer"-someone who takes initiative and drives results
• A leader who can step into a challenging environment and quickly create clarity and structure
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence, align, and execute at all levels
• Proven ability to turn around programs that are stalled or lacking momentum
