Program Manager

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program delivery for complex, multi-workstream initiatives across technology, operations, compliance, and product teams
• Establish and maintain program governance frameworks, including status reporting, RAID management, steering committees, and milestone tracking
• Partner with senior stakeholders and leadership to define scope, prioritize deliverables, and ensure strategic alignment across competing initiatives
• Drive dependency management and risk mitigation across programs, proactively identifying and escalating issues before they impact delivery
• Strategic and hands-on — able to set direction and influence at a senior level while being close enough to execution to unblock workstreams and drive delivery directly
• Facilitate cross-functional collaboration between engineering, product, legal, compliance, and operations teams to deliver integrated outcomes
• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, resource allocation models, and delivery roadmaps
• Introduce and embed best practices for program and project management within the Change & Delivery function, raising the bar for delivery discipline across the organisation
• Provide clear, concise, and accurate reporting to senior leadership on program status, risks, and outcomes

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in program or project management, with a demonstrated track record of delivering complex, cross-functional initiatives
• Experience managing large-scale technology and operational integrations in a post-M&A context, including workstream coordination, system consolidation, and cross-entity alignment
• Proven hands-on approach to delivery and problem solving — you lead from the front, not from behind a slide deck, experienced with tools such as Confluence, JIRA
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills; ability to articulate complex topics clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to operate at both high-level strategy and granular execution

Qualifications

• Experience providing structure and governance in ambiguous, fast-moving, or non-structured working environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
