Location: Hybrid – Irving, TX
Compensation: $156,160 – $234,240/yr
Role Summary
This role requires ownership of complex, multi-workstream technology program delivery, from business case through production and post-implementation review. The successful candidate will translate strategic objectives into sequenced, resourced delivery roadmaps with clear milestones and exit criteria.
Key Responsibilities
Own end to end delivery of a complex, multi-workstream technology program, from business case through production and post-implementation review. Translate strategic objectives into a sequenced, resourced delivery roadmap with clear milestones and exit criteria. Engage directly with engineering and architecture leadership to challenge technical trade-offs and ensure plans reflect real delivery constraints. Own and actively manage the program's risk, issue, and dependency register, driving closure rather than just tracking status. Manage cross-functional and cross-team dependencies, negotiating commitments and escalating blockers before they hit the critical path. Run project governance forums (steering committees, business reviews), producing agendas, decisions, and action tracking. Deliver concise, accurate executive reporting on program status, risk, and financials on a regular cadence. Identify and remove delivery friction, streamlining or automating recurring governance and reporting overhead. Apply sound risk judgement in every delivery decision, safeguarding the firm's operations and reputation.
Program Governance & Delivery
Apply a hybrid delivery approach, blending agile at scale practices with structured, phase-gated governance where needed. Maintain core governance artefacts: program charter, RACI, roadmap, risk/issue log, and decision log. Operate a defined cadence of team, program, and executive-level reviews. Use a tiered escalation approach with clear ownership and resolution timeframes. Ensure decisions and changes are documented and auditable.
Stakeholder Management & Executive Engagement
Act as the primary technical delivery point of contact for senior sponsors and cross-functional leadership. Distil complex, multi-workstream status into clear, concise updates suitable for senior leadership review. Influence and align stakeholders across teams without formal authority over them. Surface risks and bad news early, always paired with a proposed mitigation or path forward.
Required Qualifications
10+ years in technology delivery, including 6+ years leading complex, multi-team technical agile programs. Demonstrated ownership of large-scale programs spanning multiple teams or business units. Practical experience managing a formal risk/issue/dependency log and structured escalation process. Working knowledge of at least one scaled delivery framework, applied in practice. Ability to engage credibly with engineers and architects on technical trade-offs. Track record of presenting project status to senior executive stakeholders. Familiarity with platform engineering and DevSecOps practices e.g., CI/CD, GitOps, containerization, cloud migration patterns. Hands-on experience with scripting, automation, or data modelling.
Competencies & Behaviors
Distils complex projects into clear, decision-ready executive updates. Engages credibly on technical trade-offs rather than simply relaying engineering input. Surfaces and mitigates risk proactively, before it becomes a blocking issue. Aligns stakeholders across teams through influence rather than authority. Runs disciplined governance without unnecessary process overhead. Takes ownership of outcomes, leading with solutions when plans slip.
Education
Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering or equivalent practical experience. Master's Degree is preferred.
