About the role

What You'll Do

  • Manage a portfolio of legacy application retirement and migration projects across a payments platform program
  • Partner with engineering and architecture teams to define disposition paths for legacy systems: retire, remediate, or migrate to new infrastructure
  • Bring a software engineering lens to technical scoping, sequencing, and tradeoff discussions with engineering leads
  • Build and maintain project plans, timelines, and dependency maps across multiple concurrent workstreams and products
  • Identify risks and blockers early, and drive them to resolution with the right technical and business stakeholders
  • Track progress against milestones and report status clearly to program leadership and client stakeholders
  • Coordinate across engineering, infrastructure, security, and compliance teams to keep migrations on track
  • Facilitate program-level ceremonies (planning, status reviews, retros) to keep teams aligned
  • Maintain clear documentation of application disposition decisions and migration progress
  • Flag scope or timeline changes early and help the team adjust plans accordingly

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years experience as a Technical Program Manager running programs involving application engineering, modernization, migration, or retirement, ideally leading multiple products or a portfolio in large organizations
  • Software engineering background and/or enough technical depth to scope and sequence work directly with engineering teams
  • Exposure to product management, with an understanding of how technical roadmaps connect to product priorities
  • Experience in banking, payments, credit, debit, settlements, or another regulated financial services environment
  • Familiarity with cloud migration concepts and target infrastructure (AWS or similar)
  • Working knowledge of Agile delivery practices and tools like JIRA and Confluence
  • Experience managing risk, dependencies, and stakeholder communication across multiple workstreams
  • A clear communicator who can translate technical detail for both engineers and business stakeholders
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable keeping several moving parts on track at once
