Job Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the consolidated book of work across Kinexys, partnering with Product and Engineering leads to prioritize, sequence, and resource initiatives against organizational goals and OKRs.
• Partner closely with Engineering on delivery tracking, including milestones, dependencies, risks, and capacity, and drive the cadence that keeps cross-team execution on track.
• Establish and operationalize the processes that make the organization run: planning rituals, status reporting, intake and prioritization, decision logs, and operational reviews.
• Produce executive-level communications and reporting, including narratives, status updates, leadership readouts, and OKR progress views, that enable clear, accountable decision-making.
• Drive alignment across Kinexys and partner functions (Technology, Finance, Legal, Risk, Controls), acting as a connective layer between leadership and cross-functional teams.
• Surface risks, trade-offs, and dependencies early, and shepherd them to resolution with the right owners.
• Contribute to strategic planning cycles, helping leadership frame priorities, pressure-test plans, and convert strategy into executable workstreams.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

• 5+ years of experience in program or project management, with a track record of running a book of work in partnership with engineering or highly technical teams.
• Strong delivery instincts: comfortable in the details of milestones, dependencies, and risk management while keeping the bigger picture in view.

• Excellent written communication, with experience producing exec-level updates, narratives, and decks for senior leadership.
• Ability to translate between technical and non-technical audiences to drive alignment and decisions.
• Comfortable with ambiguity; able to break complex problems into structured, actionable workstreams.
• Self-starter who can shape the role and the operating model around what the team actually needs.
• High proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and Microsoft Office; familiarity with Lucid and Figma.
