Program & Delivery manager

Requirements

• The track record we’re looking for
• We’re looking for someone who has done this before — who has held a multi-track program together when it mattered. Concretely:
• Multi-workstream delivery. 8–14 years in delivery or program management in SaaS, fintech or technology services, running parallel workstreams with real external dependencies.
• A bias to unblock. You can point to a stuck, cross-team dependency you personally drove to resolution — not one you merely flagged upward.
• Relentless follow-through. You measure, you chase, you close loops — and you can show the metrics you ran a program by.
• Comfort in ambiguity. You’ve operated inside founder-led chaos and brought order to it without slowing it down.
• Who you are
• What we’re looking for
• What great looks like
• Multi-workstream delivery
• You’ve sequenced and shipped programs spanning several teams and external partners, on cadence.
• Dependency & risk management
• You track and de-risk external dependencies (vendors, banks, integrations) before they bite.
• Blocker removal
• You drive blockers to closure with low MTTR — ownership, not just escalation.
• Tracker & tooling discipline
• One source of truth, set up day one; status a CEO can read in a minute.
• Operating without authority
• You move teams without needing formal reporting lines over them.
• What gives you an edge
• PMP, PRINCE2, CSM or SAFe certification.
• Exposure to travel, tax, e-invoicing or integration/ASP programs.
• Fluency with Jira, Linear, ClickUp or Notion as delivery systems, not just trackers.
• Experience delivering against a compliance or regulatory deadline.
