SUMMARY
Q2 is seeking a Senior Program Manager to join our Transformation Team and lead the delivery of large-scale, enterprise-wide transformation initiatives that will reshape how we operate and compete. In this role, you will own end-to-end program delivery across multiple business units, product lines, and geographies—translating strategic priorities into executable roadmaps and measurable outcomes. You will apply structured problem-solving frameworks, design thinking, and lean process methodologies to reimagine future-state operating models and drive meaningful change across people, process, and technology. This role demands exceptional executive communication skills, deep experience managing complex interdependencies, and the ability to lead cross-functional teams in delivering consistent, high-quality execution. The ideal candidate brings a continuous learner mindset, relevant domain expertise in fintech or enterprise software, and a demonstrated track record of embedding transformation initiatives into sustained business operations. If you're energized by the challenge of fundamentally rethinking how organizations work, and you want to lead that transformation at scale, this is your opportunity.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead end-to-end delivery of large, complex programs spanning multiple business units, product lines, and geographies; own roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, risks, and outcomes aligned to strategic priorities.
Apply design thinking and lean methodologies to clearly articulate problems, reimagine future states, and optimize processes; use structured critical thinking frameworks to drive data-driven decision-making and executive-ready recommendations.
Manage multiple concurrent projects while operating within ambiguity, providing subject matter expertise and solutions; directly lead specific initiatives as needed to ensure program objectives are achieved.
Lead and develop project managers to drive consistent execution and reporting; establish program management standards, metrics, and governance to drive execution excellence.
Act as primary coordinator between executive sponsors, business leaders, and execution teams; facilitate program reviews, steering committees, and decision forums with clear communication of status, risks, and outcomes.
Coordinate change management initiatives—including stakeholder engagement, communication planning, and adoption strategies—to embed transformation into normal course operations and ensure sustained business impact.
Identify, assess, and mitigate program-level risks across initiatives and interdependencies.
Leverage AI tools (GenAI, Agentic AI) and enabling software (Excel, PowerPoint, Figma, Jira) to enhance program delivery and reporting.
Partner across Sales, Product, Engineering, and Operations teams to drive revenue growth, optimize product delivery, and deliver productivity improvements.
