Senior Program Manager

About the Role

------------------

At Maleda, we partner with high-growth, product-driven companies to build and scale critical operations. We are seeking a Senior Program Manager who thrives in ambiguity, operates with strong ownership, and can drive complex, cross-functional initiatives from concept to execution.

This role is ideal for someone who combines strategic thinking with operational rigor—someone who can align stakeholders, manage dependencies, and deliver measurable business impact across large-scale programs.

What You'll Do:

-------------------

• Own end-to-end delivery of large, complex, cross-functional programs across multiple teams
• Develop program strategy, scope, milestones, and success metrics aligned to business goals
• Partner with stakeholders across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Leadership to ensure alignment and execution
• Identify and manage risks, dependencies, and trade-offs across multiple workstreams
• Drive operational excellence by establishing scalable processes, frameworks, and best practices
• Lead program planning cycles (quarterly, bi-annual) including roadmap alignment and resource planning
• Provide clear, consistent communication to leadership on program status, risks, and key decisions
• Define and track KPIs to measure program success and continuously improve outcomes
• Influence without authority—ensuring accountability across teams and stakeholders
• Support change management and ensure successful adoption of new processes or tools

What We Are Looking For:

----------------------------

• 6\+ years of experience in program management, operations, consulting, or related roles
• Proven experience leading large-scale, cross-functional programs in fast-paced environments
• Strong ability to manage ambiguity and drive structure in complex problem spaces
• Experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams on technical or operational initiatives
• Demonstrated success in stakeholder management and executive communication
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights
• Track record of delivering measurable business impact through programs

Preferred Qualifications

----------------------------

• Experience in marketplace, platform, or high-growth tech environments (e.g., companies like Airbnb, Uber, DoorDash)
• Background in operations, strategy, or management consulting
• Familiarity with program management tools (e.g., Asana, Jira, Smartsheet)

Experience building processes from 0 1 and scaling them
