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.

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
