About the Role

As a Senior Program Manager at Vantage, you are responsible for coordinating delivery across our product and engineering teams.

Role Responsibilities

• Delivery Cadence: Own validating team capacity and dependency alignment.

• Cross-Pillar Syncs: Lead weekly syncs between engineering team leads that surface blockers and dependencies.
• Risk & Issue Management: Proactively identify "Yellow" projects and facilitate the trade-off conversations between product managers to prevent them from turning "Red."
• Standardize Handoffs: Ensure handoffs between client services, product, and engineering teams are clean and well documented.
• Delivery Forecasting: Track "Say/Do" ratios and team velocity to provide leadership with accurate forecasts of when we can hit the next market opportunity.
• Operational Unblocking: If necessary, step in to facilitate the decision-making process and get projects unstuck.
