Program Manager

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce's client is seeking a Program Manager to support a portfolio of software delivery initiatives within a technical enablement team in Greenwood Village, CO.

Summary:
This individual will work alongside a senior Program Manager to coordinate and drive the planning and execution of complex programs. The Program Manager will be responsible for ensuring alignment across internal teams-product, engineering, design, and data-as well as external stakeholders, helping to deliver initiatives efficiently from discovery through completion. This role is well-suited for someone with 2-5 years of experience in technical program or project management who is comfortable in a fast-moving, highly collaborative environment. This is not a role for a traditional, process-heavy project manager-success here requires flexibility, strong coordination skills, and the ability to manage ambiguity.

Why This Role?
You'll have the opportunity to work closely with a seasoned program leader and contribute to a strategic area within a growing software delivery organization. If you're a clear communicator, highly organized, and ready to take ownership in a complex and collaborative environment, this role offers strong growth potential and impact.

Responsibilities:
* Manage end-to-end program delivery, from initial discovery through planning, execution, and close-out
* Coordinate across cross-functional internal teams (product, design, engineering, and data)
* Track timelines, risks, and dependencies, adjusting plans as needed
* Drive stakeholder communications, including executive-level updates (weekly, monthly, quarterly)
* Support portfolio-level visibility and reporting to ensure alignment and transparency
* Adapt to shifting priorities and contribute across a range of initiatives as needed

REQUIREMENTS:
* Program or senior project management experience in software delivery environments
* Proven track record managing full delivery cycles
* Strong coordination skills across embedded internal teams and external stakeholders
* Experience working in hybrid environments (Agile, Waterfall, Kanban), including dependency mapping
* Strong communication skills, including with executive stakeholders
* Proficiency with JIRA, MS Project, and Microsoft Office tools (especially Excel)
* Comfortable working in matrixed, fast-paced, and evolving settings
* Collaborative and proactive approach; able to manage up and flex across responsibilities

Nice-to-Haves:
* Technical foundation (e.g., understanding of APIs, microservices, or general software concepts)
* Experience with portfolio-level reporting or program tracking
* Familiarity with managing globally distributed teams or offshore coordination
* Experience in hybrid roles (e.g., Program Manager and Scrum Master or Product support)
* Familiarity with accessibility standards and compliance practices
* Experience with MS Project as a transition from tools like Smartsheet
