Project Manager, Data
About The Role
Behind many of life’s biggest financial decisions—buying a home, securing a mortgage, or financing a business—is a complex network of credit relationships. Setpoint is building the infrastructure that powers these relationships, enabling the world’s largest banks, credit funds, and capital markets counterparties to operate with trust and efficiency. Setpoint is looking for a highly organized, execution-focused operator to help our teams work together effectively and deliver on their commitments.
Responsibilities
- Own and maintain project and ticket management across teams and workstreams using Linear, Asana, and related communication tools.
- Ensure work is captured in clear, actionable tickets with sufficient context, appropriate owners, cross-initiative priorities, dependencies, and realistic deadlines.
- Monitor project progress, capacity, dependencies, and delivery risks, surfacing trade-offs when commitments, timelines, and available resources are not aligned.
- Escalate bottlenecks and recommend ways to improve efficiency, throughput, team coordination, and quality of life.
- Run project board reviews and other key operating meetings, ensuring the right stakeholders participate and discussions result in clear decisions.
- Improve cross-functional coordination and handoffs so that work does not get lost, duplicated, or passed between teams without adequate context.
- Monitor team capacity, identify staffing or coverage gaps, and recommend adjustments to scope, sequencing, timelines, or resources.
- Identify recurring operational issues and continuously improve processes as the team and business needs evolve.
Requirements
- Experience managing projects, programs, operations, or delivery across multiple teams and concurrent workstreams.
- Strong working knowledge of project management practices and tools such as Linear, Asana, Jira, or similar platforms.

- Experience coordinating cross-functional teams and improving handoffs between different functions or areas of expertise.
- Sound judgment when balancing urgency, scope, available resources, and competing priorities.
- A continuous-improvement mindset and the ability to introduce operating discipline without creating unnecessary processes.
