Senior Technical Program Delivery Lead

IDC Corporate; Boston (MA); On-site; USD 124,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

IDC Corporate seeks a Senior Technical Project Manager to own the integrated NEXUS program plan at execution. You will coordinate cross-workstream leads, manage dependencies across processes and development, and surface risks early for decisive action.

This delivery role runs the plan and cadence with external partners across multiple time zones. You will drive sprint planning, cadence, and executive-grade status reporting, holding stakeholders to commitments through influence, not authority.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in technical project or program management, including at least 3 years running multi-workstream software, platform, or workflow delivery programs.
• Demonstrated ownership of an integrated delivery plan across parallel workstreams with hard externally visible deadlines.
• Strong dependency and critical-path management across mixed technical and business teams.
• Experience managing external development vendors or partners against delivery commitments, including escalation when capacity or velocity falls short.
• Ability to hold senior stakeholders to commitments through influence rather than authority.
• Enough technical fluency to interrogate estimates, understand data and integration dependencies, and distinguish real blockers from convenient ones.
• Disciplined risk, issue, dependency, and decision log practice, with evidence of keeping logs decision-ready rather than decorative.
• Executive-grade written communication: short, direct, accurate, and traceable to source.
• Comfort operating with incomplete information in a program where the operating model is still being defined.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the integrated NEXUS plan across all workstreams
• Translate sprint scope into sequenced, owned, dated work with explicit entry and exit criteria.
• Maintain the dependency map between processes and ensure alignment as scope evolves.
• Flag schedule conflicts and constraint collisions with options and a recommendation.
• Run the operating rhythm: sprint planning, standups, working sessions, cross-pod syncs, and sprint close.
• Hold workstream leads accountable to committed dates and deliverables without formal authority.
• Drive delivery through the external development partner — track commitments and elevate slippage.
• Coordinate handoffs between teams so no deliverable stalls waiting for next steps.
