About this role
Role Overview
Cross-functional program leadership
Direct ownership of the programs that span Trading, Engineering, Data Science, and Data Engineering. You are the single accountable owner for delivery across team boundaries on these programs, including dependencies, sequencing, risk, and the tradeoff decisions when priorities collide.
The operating system for delivery
Own and evolve the frameworks that let the company plan and execute coherently — intake, prioritization, change management, project lifecycle, definition of done, and release cadence.
Delivery coordination and predictability
Establish the cadence, instrumentation, and reporting that make work visible from company strategy down to individual execution.
Delivery maturity across the org
Teams across Swish operate at different levels of delivery discipline. You will set the bar, point to what already works well internally, and partner with department heads to raise the standard everywhere — through influence and demonstrated value rather than mandate.
Team leadership
Lead, develop, and grow the PMO.
Requirements
Built a PMO before
You have stood up or substantially rebuilt a program management function — not just run projects inside someone else's system.
Cross-functional program depth
You have owned large programs that spanned multiple engineering and technical organizations, with real accountability for delivery across boundaries.
Builds for adoption
You think like a product person building something users will actually use, not a policy author issuing mandates.
Operates with founders and executives
You can hold your own as a peer with department heads and founders, bring the value and capacity cases to prioritization decisions, and influence without formal authority over the teams you coordinate.
Sound judgment under pressure
You escalate cleanly rather than absorbing blockers, navigate competing priorities and organizational friction with maturity, and know which battles are worth fighting.
