About this role

We are looking for a senior, delivery-driven Program Manager to join our PMO team at Commencis, capable of managing complex digital delivery programs in a service company environment (banking, airline, insurance, large-scale digital platforms).

As a Program Manager, you will lead multi-project digital delivery programs covering mobile & web application design and development, with full ownership of planning, budgeting, execution, and stakeholder management.
You will play a critical role in ensuring predictable delivery, financial control, and strong client trust across long-running, high-impact programs.

If you are curious by nature, adaptive, collaborative, and always one step ahead — and if you enjoy owning planning, budget, and delivery end-to-end — then join us and be a Commencer.

  • Define and manage program milestones, dependencies, risks, scope, budget, and success criteria.

  • Coordinate cross-functional teams across Product, Design, Engineering, QA, and Business.
  • Apply and tailor delivery methodologies (Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid) based on contract structure and project context.
  • Apply PMO governance, reporting, and delivery standards to ensure consistency, transparency, and decision readiness.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business, or a related field; MBA or master’s degree is a strong plus.
  • 8+ years of experience in project / program management within digital product or software development environments.
  • Proven experience working in a service / consultancy company, managing external clients and commercial constraints.
  • Strong experience in planning, budget management, forecasting, and financial control of delivery programs.
  • Hands-on experience with fixed-price projects, change request management, and Waterfall delivery, in addition to Agile practices.
