Program Manager

BrightEdge; Thoothukudi; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 2,400,000; Full time

Job summary

BrightEdge is seeking a high-caliber Program Manager to partner with our Strategy and Finance teams, driving cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to completion. This is not aPMO or status-reporting role — we need someone who owns outcomes, can push back on scope when needed, and takes accountability for results.

You’ll operate at the intersection of Strategy and Finance, guiding projects from planning through delivery, and coordinating with senior stakeholders to keep work moving forward.

Qualifications

• 2–3 years of experience in a B2B SaaS organization, ideally in program/project management, business operations, strategy, or a finance-adjacent role.
• MBA or equivalent strong academic pedigree strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously without losing sight of the details or the bigger picture.
• Strong business judgment — able to read a project and understand what actually matters versus what's noise.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, comfortable operating with senior leaders across functions.
• High ownership mentality: drives projects to done, not just to “on track”.
• Self-directed and highly motivated — comfortable in ambiguity and able to create structure where none exists.
• Must work EST hours.

Responsibilities

• Program manage multiple concurrent projects across Strategy and Finance, each with different stakeholders, timelines, and levels of ambiguity.
• Understand the underlying business objective of each project well enough to make judgment calls, not just follow a plan.
• Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies before they become problems, and proactively resolve them rather than escalating by default.
• Build and maintain project structure (timelines, milestones, decision logs) that serves the work, not process for its own sake.
• Run cross-functional syncs that drive decisions and unblock work, not just relay updates.
• Partner directly with senior stakeholders on both teams, translating between Strategy's and Finance's priorities and working styles.
• Bring structure to ambiguous, undefined problems — much of this role is creating the plan, not just executing one handed to you.

Role: Program Manager

Location / Timings : Remote / 6 PM IST to 3 AM IST

Partners With : Strategy team and Finance team

Experience : 2–3 years, B2B SaaS preferred

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for a high-caliber Program Manager to partner closely with our Strategy and Finance teams, driving cross-functional initiatives from ambiguity to completion. This isn't a PMO or status-reporting role — we need someone who understands the business context behind each project, can push back on scope and timelines when they don't make sense, and takes ownership of outcomes rather than just tracking them.

You'll sit at the intersection of two high-visibility functions, working on initiatives that range from strategic planning processes to financial operations projects. Success in this role means projects move forward because you're driving them, not because you're documenting them.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Program manage multiple concurrent projects across Strategy and Finance, each with different stakeholders, timelines, and levels of ambiguity
• Understand the underlying business objective of each project well enough to make judgment calls, not just follow a plan
• Identify risks, blockers, and dependencies before they become problems, and proactively resolve them rather than escalating by default
• Build and maintain project structure (timelines, milestones, decision logs) that serves the work, not process for its own sake
• Run cross-functional syncs that drive decisions and unblock work, not just relay updates
• Partner directly with senior stakeholders on both teams, translating between Strategy's and Finance's priorities and working styles
• Bring structure to ambiguous, undefined problems — much of this role is creating the plan, not just executing one handed to you .

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 2–3 years of experience in a B2B SaaS organization, ideally in program/project management, business operations, strategy, or a finance-adjacent role
• MBA or equivalent strong academic pedigree strongly preferred
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously without losing sight of the details or the bigger picture
• Strong business judgment — able to read a project and understand what actually matters versus what's noise
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, comfortable operating with senior leaders across functions
• High ownership mentality: drives projects to done, not just to “on track”
• Sharp written and verbal communication; able to synthesize complexity into something clear and actionable
• Self-directed and highly motivated — comfortable in ambiguity and able to create structure where none exists
• Must work EST hours

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT

• Prior experience supporting both a Strategy/BizOps function and a Finance function
• Experience at a fast-moving, high-growth SaaS company
• A track record of taking on projects that weren't clearly scoped and shaping them into something executable
