Program Manager - Financial Services

Infinitive Inc • Mclean, VA

33d

About The Position

We are seeking an experienced, high-energy Program Manager to lead a critical, high-profile integration and strategy program for one of our premier financial services clients. This role sits at the intersection of strategic operating models, technical architecture migration, and cultural synthesis.

Requirements

• 5–8+ years of program management experience specifically within the financial services sector (Retail Banking, Credit Cards, or Consumer Lending preferred).
• Proven track record of managing complex technical and operational integrations, tenant strategies, or post-acquisition scaling.
• Comfort collaborating deeply with enterprise architects, cloud engineers, and product teams. You don't need to code, but you must understand modern architecture constraints and system dependencies.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to turn deep technical jargon into crisp, visual, and strategic narratives for C-suite and SVP-level executives.
• Prior consulting experience (or a strong consulting delivery style) — able to handle ambiguity, build relationships quickly, and drive consensus across competing organizational priorities.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the end-to-end program structure, decision-making frameworks, and overall operating model.
• Drive proactive risk assessment and mitigation strategies, creating clear visibility into milestones, dependencies, and delivery velocity for all stakeholders.
• Implement rightsized governance processes that streamline decision-making without creating unnecessary bureaucratic friction.
• Secure cross-functional alignment on how the acquired lending line of business will operate as an "Acquisitions Tenant" within the parent organization's ecosystem.
• Partner closely with enterprise architecture teams to ensure that as new technical and cloud architecture patterns are established, a parallel operating and maintenance model is built to support them.
• Define clear ownership boundaries, shared configurations, and cross-platform responsibilities between the newly integrated lending business and existing core platform teams (e.g., core card services).
• Synthesize complex, highly technical program activities and engineering milestones into concise, high-impact business updates for executive leadership.
• Act as a bridge between organizations, intentionally driving activities that blend legacy teams into the parent company’s culture and operational rhythm.
• Champion a positive team environment by consistently highlighting milestones, celebrating wins, and maintaining team momentum across a multi-year roadmap.
