Experience
- 10+ years of program management or technical program management in a high-growth or regulated environment.
- Direct experience in financial services, fintech, or credit infrastructure. Compliance, audit, reporting and risk management obligations are familiar territory.
- Track record of operating at the department or business level, owning programs with multiple concurrent workstreams and cross-functional accountability.
- Proven ability to communicate with and influence executive stakeholders, in writing and in high-stakes meetings, without a senior manager to translate.
- Bonus: Familiarity with the lending tooling ecosystem such as loan origination, credit risk management and lending management systems.
What you bring
- Technical fluency. You can understand and challenge engineering decisions, identify technical risks early, and translate complexity for non-technical stakeholders.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication. You write documentation that clarifies hard decisions and build frameworks teams actually adopt.
- Commercial instincts. You understand the financial dynamics of a lending business well enough to evaluate tradeoffs with authority.
- High emotional intelligence. You build trust quickly across engineering, product, risk, and executive stakeholders. You navigate complex interpersonal situations without losing credibility or momentum.
