Description:

On-site in New York, NY

 

Our client seeks a Senior Program Manager to lead a new, highly visible financial services program through multi-phase delivery. Operating within an Agile pod structure, this role will partner with the Product Owner, Business Analyst, and Technology to align on product vision, business rationale, solution design, delivery progress, and emerging issues. The Senior Program Manager will drive integrated planning, program-level risk and dependency management, governance, and executive visibility to ensure alignment, timely decisions, and coordinated delivery across workstreams.

 

Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.

 

Rate: $85.00 to $89.00/hr. w2


Responsibilities:
  • Own the program’s critical path and milestone baseline across all workstreams. Monitor progress, evaluate forecast changes, and initiate recovery actions when delivery is at risk.
  • Lead program governance cadence. Maintain decision, risk, issue, and dependency visibility. Confirm ownership and commitments, intervening when accountability gaps threaten delivery.
  • Lead cross-functional delivery forums across product, technology, operations, external partners, and stakeholders to resolve dependencies, align milestones and readiness, secure decisions, and maintain delivery commitments.
  • Maintain the integrated delivery view across Agile pods, connecting team plans through cross-pod milestones, dependencies, release readiness, and forecast changes.
  • Produce concise weekly program reporting and leadership materials that communicate progress, forecast changes, key decisions, and risks and dependencies requiring attention.
  • Mentor and oversee the Junior PMO by delegating logistics and coordination tasks and reviewing outputs.

Experience Requirements:
  • 8+ years leading complex, multi-workstream programs in financial services or another regulated environment.
  • Proven expertise in integrated planning, critical-path and milestone management, governance, risk and dependency management, and executive reporting.
  • Strong judgment in managing risks, issues, dependencies, and decisions, including effective escalation.
  • Executive communication and influence with the ability to distill complex information into clear recommendations, decisions, and actions.
  • Experience coordinating delivery across multiple Agile pods, including cross-team planning, release readiness, and dependency resolution. Strong working knowledge of Jira, Confluence, delivery dashboards, and roadmap tools.
  • Ability to build sufficient product and operating-model knowledge to challenge assumptions, connect delivery activity to intended outcomes, and communicate implications accurately without owning product decisions.
  • Proactive, pragmatic, and adaptable delivery leadership that applies proportionate governance and drives stakeholder decisions.
