Role Description

What would you accomplish as a Program Manager in Platform Engineering Team?

We are seeking a highly motivated and technically savvy Program Manager to join the Platform Engineering leadership team. This role is crucial for orchestrating complex, cross-functional projects that underpin our core financial service offerings, ensuring they are delivered on committed timelines and meet high standards for quality, scalability, and security.

The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of modern Platform Engineering concepts (such as IaC, CI/CD, Observability, and hybrid cloud environments) and possess exceptional communication skills to manage expectations and drive accountability across diverse groups. This position demands a strategic thinker who can translate technical roadmap items into actionable project plans and high-impact business outcomes within a regulated financial domain.

The responsibilities will include:

·       Serve as the primary communication bridge between engineering teams, senior leadership, Operations, Enterprise Architecture, and Security/Compliance groups. Proactively identify, track, and mitigate cross-functional dependencies and risks.

·       Develop, publish, and maintain robust project dashboards, status reports, and executive summaries, providing clear visibility into project health, resource utilization, and progress against key performance indicators (KPIs).

·       Implement and refine agile project management methodologies suitable for infrastructure and platform development, ensuring repeatable and efficient delivery processes.

·       Expertly manage complex project schedules, anticipating potential delays and driving proactive solutions to ensure strict adherence to committed delivery timelines required in the financial industry.

·       Clearly articulate the business and technical value of Platform Engineering initiatives to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring project goals align with overall firm strategy.
