Staritas is a mission-driven organization seeking a Senior Program Manager to drive execution across engineering and product initiatives. This role involves managing cross-functional coordination, risk management, and delivery reporting, as well as overseeing the company's exit from an active Transition Services Agreement.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end program and project management for engineering and product initiatives: scope, timelines, cross-functional dependencies, and delivery risk
- Run planning and status cadences with engineering, product, and design leads; keep roadmaps realistic and escalate slippage early
- Maintain program-level RAID and drive mitigation, not just tracking
- Report program status to leadership with enough clarity
- Manage the TSA exit workstream to track each in-scope service, owner, exit criteria, and target exit date; coordinate with IT, Finance, HR, Legal, and Procurement to hit exit deadlines
- Monitor TSA activities and flag scope creep, service-level disputes, or the need for contract amendments; work with Legal on exit notices and interpretation questions
- Build and maintain the operating rhythm and templates (status reports, RAID, RACI) used across both the roadmap programs and the TSA workstream
- Partner with engineering and product leadership to establish KPIs and delivery metrics and own ongoing tracking and reporting against them
Skills
- PMP certification
- 7+ years of program/project management experience delivering engineering or product initiatives in a cross-functional environment
- Experience managing programs with hard external deadlines and contractual or legal constraints (TSA, SOW, vendor exit, compliance deadline, or similar)
- Comfortable context-switching between technical roadmap conversations and legal/finance-driven contract execution in the same week
- Strong stakeholder management across functions with competing priorities
- Experience in Agile/Scrum environments (Scrum Master or equivalent exposure)
- Experience standing up or improving a PMO operating rhythm from scratch
- Hands-on Atlassian experience (JIRA, Confluence) — building and administering workflows, automation rules, and dashboards, not just using JIRA as an end user
