Program Manager

We are looking for a Program Manager to join our team. In this role, you'll take end-to-end ownership of cross-functional programs — planning, coordinating, and driving execution across teams in Israel and the US to keep our most important initiatives on track.

You'll be the connective tissue between technical and non-technical teams, turning ambiguity into clear plans, surfacing risks before they become blockers, and holding a high bar for quality at every milestone. If you take pride in flawless execution and love bringing order to fast-moving environments, this role was made for you.

This is a Temporary Position (maternity leave cover, ~8-10 months)

Qualifications

3-5 years of experience working on or supporting cross-functional projects — from operations, customer success, business analysis, product, or technical teams.

Strong organizational and time management skills with a keen attention to detail.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interface effectively with technical and non-technical teams.

Comfort working in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.

Familiarity with project or task management tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Trello, Confluence).

Experience using AI tools such as Claude to streamline reporting, documentation, and program execution.

High autonomy, a proactive mindset, and exceptional standards for quality — someone who takes pride in flawless execution and continuously improves team processes.

Fluent / full professional proficiency in written and spoken English, with proven experience leading meetings and driving alignment with global, cross-functional teams.

Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

Bonus points

Experience in the Fintech space.

Experience working with cross-functional global teams across multiple sites.

Good understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies.

A day in the life and how you'll make an impact

Lead planning, scheduling, and coordination of program activities across departments, defining project scope, goals, and deliverables together with stakeholders.

Track program milestones, timelines, budgets, and deliverables using project management tools, and maintain accurate documentation to support data collection and reporting.

Facilitate meetings — prepare agendas, capture notes, and follow up on action items until they're closed.

Develop execution plans and clearly communicate program status updates and reports to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership.

Identify and own gaps, risks, and blockers, driving them to resolution independently.

Assume end-to-end responsibility for projects, driving cross-functional alignment and accountability to consistently meet deadlines while upholding top-tier quality standards.

Build clear communication plans so every team understands their roles and tasks for each milestone.
