Job summary

N-iX is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead a cross-team transformation program across two active initiatives, including greenfield repossession/remarketing workflows and foundation modernization of a registry stack (.NET upgrades, containerization, and decommissioning legacy infra).

This is a delivery leadership role with product, engineering, and operations dependencies across multiple teams.

Qualifications

• Strong experience leading multi-team migration or transformation programs in complex technology environments.
• Proven ability to take over initiatives, identify the path to green, and align teams around recovery, sequencing, and decision plans.
• Experience in technology organizations with meaningful engineering, platform, architecture, and operational dependencies.
• Proven track record delivering transformation, modernization, stakeholder management, operational readiness, and controlled rollout.
• Ability to work credibly with senior engineers, architects, product leads, operations, security, and business stakeholders without depending on one function to drive the program.
• Clear evidence of handling risks, dependencies, scope trade-offs, and cross-team conflicts in real delivery situations.
• Willingness and ability to travel to Toronto, Canada approximately once per month to support stakeholder alignment and delivery cadence.
• Excellent verbal and written English skills, including concise executive reporting and decision framing.
• Readiness for 6 months of cooperation with possible prolongation.

Responsibilities

• Shape the two initiatives into one executable program structure with clear workstreams, milestones, owners, assumptions, success criteria, and decision points.
• Own the integrated delivery plan end to end — from status-baselining through design, execution readiness, rollout, stabilization, and handover — and keep the critical path visible at all times.
• Coordinate internal teams and external contributors across both workstreams, ensuring they run as one connected program rather than separate delivery rhythms.
• Maintain a single transparent view of risks, actions, issues, dependencies, and decisions (RAID and decision logs).
• Surface delivery blockers early and escalate with clear recommendations and path-to-green options.
• Establish lightweight but rigorous program governance, including the integrated plan, dependency map, stakeholder map, executive status view, and workstream readiness checkpoints.
• Ensure delivery covers business readiness, change management, release/cutover readiness, operational validation, and post-milestone follow-through.
• Deliver concise, executive-ready reporting that clearly distinguishes progress, risks, blockers, and leadership asks.
