What You'll Do

  • Program Strategy & Business Alignment: Translate business objectives into a coordinated program roadmap across Data, DevOps, and Platform teams.
  • Ensure every initiative ladders up to a measurable business outcome.
  • Partner with engineering leads to sequence work, balance capacity, and manage cross-squad dependencies.
  • Multi-Project Coordination & Delivery Governance: Govern delivery across concurrent projects using NXP's project management methodology.
  • Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and cross-team ceremonies to keep squads unblocked.
  • Run delivery governance — status cadences, milestone tracking, RAID logs, and steering reviews.
  • Track program KPIs — predictability, milestone adherence, throughput, and quality.
  • Intake Coordination & Demand Management: Own intake for new demand — capturing, triaging, and prioritizing requests into the backlog.
  • Coordinate the request desk, ensuring work is assessed, sized, and routed to the right team.
  • Translate business requirements (BRD) into epics and user stories with engineering leads.
  • Financial & Resource Management: Own program financials — budget planning, tracking, forecasting, and variance management.
  • Manage resource allocation and capacity planning and support headcount/vendor planning.
  • Risk & Stakeholder Management: Identify, assess, and mitigate risks and issues across all workstreams.
  • Manage stakeholders across the program lifecycle, communicating progress, trade-offs, and decisions.
  • Provide regular, executive-ready reports and dashboards to senior management.
  • What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months): In your first 6–12 months, you'll establish a clear program governance framework, stand up a reliable intake and prioritization process, improve delivery predictability across squads, and give leadership clear visibility into progress, risks, and spend.
  • Required Qualifications: Bachelor's/Master's in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, or an MBA. 8+ years in project/program management, including multiple concurrent projects and teams.
  • Proven experience with Agile delivery and sprint planning in a software/data engineering environment.
  • Strong track record in delivery governance — status reporting, milestone tracking, and steering forums.
  • Hands-on experience with intake coordination and demand management for engineering teams.
  • Experience with program financials — budgeting, forecasting, and cost tracking.
  • Strong risk management, stakeholder management, and executive communication skills.
  • Certified project/program management credential (PMP, Prince2, SAFe etc) is preferred.

Nice to Have

  • Experience managing catalog-based intake or a service catalog for engineering demand.
  • Experience running a request desk / demand management function.
  • Ability to translate BRDs into epics and user stories (BRD → Story).
  • Familiarity with Data & AI, Databricks, cloud platforms, or DevOps delivery contexts.
  • Working knowledge of tools such as Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, or ServiceNow.
  • Background in semiconductor, manufacturing, or large-scale enterprise IT environments is preferred.
  • Competencies: Outcome orientation — focuses on delivering business outcomes, not just activity.
  • Orchestration — coordinates teams, priorities, and dependencies with clarity and calm.
  • Governance discipline — brings structure, cadence, and transparency to complex delivery.
  • Stakeholder influence — drives alignment across engineering and business without direct authority.
  • Clear communication — translates between technical detail and executive messaging.
