Descrição da oferta de emprego

Overview

Technology Program Manager - Assistant Vice President, Lisbon, Portugal.

iCapital is seeking a Technology Program Manager to partner closely with Engineering / Technology leadership to deliver complex, high-impact initiatives across the firm’s most critical technology priorities. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — bringing best-in-class program management practices to large-scale, cross-functional initiatives. The team operates in an internal consulting capacity, driving clarity, alignment, and disciplined execution across multi-team programs.

You will engage across a diverse portfolio including greenfield software development, enterprise vendor implementations, cloud and infrastructure initiatives, data & analytics and machine learning efforts, and broader technology innovation programs. As iCapital continues to scale, we are increasingly leveraging AI-enabled tools and automation to enhance engineering productivity and program transparency. This role requires comfort operating in an AI-augmented environment — identifying opportunities to use emerging technologies to improve planning, reporting, decision-making, and cross-team coordination.

This is a leadership and execution role focused on orchestration, visibility, and delivery excellence — it does not involve hands-on coding or testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional technology programs spanning multiple engineering teams
• Partner with Engineering to define scope, roadmap, milestones, and measurable outcomes
• Establish clear governance, reporting, and risk management practices to ensure transparency and accountability
• Communicate program status, risks, dependencies, and mitigation strategies to senior stakeholders
• Collaborate with Technology leadership to shape forward-looking strategy and execution frameworks
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance delivery effectiveness across the broader Technology organization
• Bring structure and clarity to ambiguous or evolving initiatives

Qualifications

• 5–10 years of relevant experience
• Experience in at least two of the following:
  • Technical Program Management
  • Financial services industry
  • Technology or financial services consulting
• Strong understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies
• Familiarity with relational database concepts and data modeling
• Exposure to cloud technologies (e.g., AWS)
• Experience with project management tools such as JIRA, Monday.com, or similar platforms
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Business Administration, or related field preferred

Core Competencies

• Ability to influence stakeholders and build consensus across diverse viewpoints
• Strategic thinker who can connect big-picture objectives to detailed execution plans
• Comfortable navigating complexity and ambiguity
• Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
• Strong interpersonal skills with a collaborative, team-oriented mindset
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to operate effectively both independently and within cross-functional teams

Employees in this role will work fully remote. Every department has different needs, and some positions will be designated in-office jobs, based on their function.

iCapital offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes a total compensation program consisting of competitive salary, annual performance bonus, and equity for all full-time employees; healthcare with 100% employer-paid health and dental insurance; and generous paid time off (PTO).
