You'll own a workstream inside a larger, mid-stream program, picking up a system that already has an MVP in flight and driving it through rollout and V2 definition.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own the day-to-day management of a workstream within the broader program
- Coordinate across teams to keep the MVP rollout on track and moving toward production
- Drive definition and scoping for V2, working with stakeholders to nail down requirements
- Apply tactical analysis to understand the technical details of the work, not just the schedule
- Track progress, dependencies, and timelines for a workstream operating inside a larger program
- Surface risks and blockers early and work with technical leads to resolve them
- Keep stakeholders aligned on status, decisions, and tradeoffs throughout rollout and V2 planning
- Report progress clearly to program leadership and the client
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 5+ years experience managing a workstream or project within a larger, multi-team program
- Background in financial services, with exposure to payments, credit, debit, or ACH systems
- Background in software engineering, tactical or technical analysis
- Comfort working in environments where an MVP is live and the focus is shifting to rollout and next-phase definition
- Experience scaling a team, including planning for and onboarding new engineers
- Familiarity with AWS
- Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to translate technical detail for non-technical audiences
- A clear communicator who can coordinate across technical and business teams without losing precision
