Picture Yourself at Pega:

Pegasystems is seeking Tech Project / Program managers to join our dynamic team of Delivery Leaders at multiple levels.

• Co-design the client success journey—from vision to value —using the blueprints, journey maps, and testable value hypotheses as a Solution Designer.

You will work in an environment where AI‑enabled tools are used to enhance learning, improve engineering efficiency, and support better decision‑making across the cloud platform.

We expect engineers to apply critical thinking to all AI‑generated outputs—validating accuracy, quality, and relevance before applying them in production environments. We view AI maturity as a spectrum, progressing from foundational adoption toward more strategic, advocacy‑driven integration, and you will play an active role in that journey.

• Advise on Pegasystems’ delivery methodology and how this can be harmonized with a client’s methodology; demonstrate a thorough understanding of Agile, Waterfall, and Scrum approaches to delivery

Who You Are:

• 9-12 years in consulting/professional services with 4+ years leading cross-functional engagements and/or product/program work; proven track record designing client journeys, conflict resolution, stakeholder mediation and landing measurable business outcomes.

What You've Accomplished:

• Translate strategy into action with MVP definitions, outcome-based road maps, and prioritized backlogs tied to OKRs/KPIs.

• Negotiate scope and priorities to protect outcomes while managing constraints; facilitate governance and issue resolution with senior stakeholders.

• Tell the story of value through executive-ready narratives, data-driven visuals, and compelling demonstrations that accelerate decisions and adoption.

• Coach teams on journey-centric delivery and help mature practices, templates, and playbooks that scale success across accounts.

• Identify growth opportunities through realized outcomes, adoption signals, and stakeholder advocacy; contribute to proposals and SoWs.

• Step up to play Scrum Master or a Pega Business Architect role as required
