Job summary

Vasion is seeking a Program Manager on the PDLC team to operate the lifecycle from discovery through growth, embedded with engineering and product management. You will be a practitioner, coach, and change agent helping teams understand and trust the PDLC, not simply track status.

You will split your time between running day-to-day PDLC activities across programs and contributing to framework improvements. A curiosity about AI and agent-native development is part of the job.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required.
  • PMP, CSM, PMI-ACP, or equivalent a plus.
  • Helped a skeptical engineering or product management team adopt a new way of working and can describe specifically what it took.
  • Contributed to building a PDLC or SDLC framework from scratch.
  • Has a working mental model of cross-functional alignment and tactics to address it.

Responsibilities

  • Operate as an embedded PDLC practitioner, modeling the framework and helping teams understand its purpose.
  • Coach engineering and product management teammates on PDLC practices.
  • Build trust through consistency and genuine partnership, not authority.
  • Communicate PDLC value to reduce context-switching and improve handoffs.
  • Partner to document processes, templates, gate criteria, and governance standards.
  • Develop playbooks and documentation for accessibility across teams.
  • Own the full lifecycle of assigned programs from Discovery through Grow.
  • Create program plans with shared visibility for PM, Eng, Design, QA and GTM.
  • Stay ahead of risks and blockers with well-reasoned options.
  • Facilitate kick-offs, reviews, and retrospectives with clear next steps.
  • Surface cross-team misalignments and resolve dependencies early.
  • Maintain accurate program documentation throughout the lifecycle.
