We are building the infrastructure that will power the next generation of cross-border payment systems for institutions. The team's execution has been exceptional, and we're scaling at a remarkable pace. Our early team comes from companies like J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, FalconX, PayPal, Affirm, Polygon, Kraken, Nium and others. We're backed by Accel, Lightspeed, NFX and other top-tier investors.\nRole Overview\nLaunching a new product or expanding into a new geography is one of the hardest things a cross-border payments company does. Each launch depends on licenses and regulatory approvals, banking and liquidity partners, compliance controls, settlement operations and go-to-market readiness. It needs coordinated work from nearly every function: Product, R&D, Legal, Licensing, Compliance, Trade Ops, Partnerships, Marketing, Sales and Finance.\nWe are hiring our first Program Manager to lead the cross-functional planning and execution of OpenFX's most strategic initiatives, turning company priorities into launches that meet their business goals. Working alongside Product, which owns the why and what, you will own the how and when: one plan across every function, the critical path through regulators and partners, and the trade-offs leadership needs to decide. You will be measured on outcomes: launches that go live on time, within scope, and hit their business KPIs.\nThis is a high-visibility role in Ops, working directly with the executive team. You will lead through influence rather than authority, and build OpenFX's program management function from the ground up as we scale into new markets.\nKey Responsibilities\n Integrated planningJoin initiatives at the idea stage, not at build, so cross-functional needs shape the plan instead of disrupting it.\nBuild and own one integrated plan covering what, how, when and dependencies for every function involved.\nMap stakeholders and define team roles, and collect requirements from non-product functions early (compliance controls, licensing, reporting, operational processes) to prevent late scope drift.\nPlan in iterations, defining MVP, V1 and V2 so we deliver value to market fast, not waterfall.\n\nOperating rhythmSet up and run a lightweight \"way we work\" per initiative: kickoff, weekly cross-functional syncs, weekly status reports, monthly steering reviews and post-launch retrospectives.\nKeep the framework minimal: every forum and artifact must speed up execution, and you drop any that don't.\n\n Delivery tracking and risk managementTrack progress against plan, maintain the RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, decisions) and remove blockers.\nSurface critical dependencies early: licenses, regulatory approvals, banking and liquidity partners, compliance requirements.\nMake scope, timeline and effort trade-offs visible early and bring options to the right owner for a decision.\n\nLaunch readinessOwn the readiness checklist and go/no-go process across all functions, from planning to launch.\nRun gate checkpoints with Product, so work moves forward only when every function has signed off on requirements, committed to the plan and confirmed readiness.\nLead post-launch KPI reviews at 3 and 6 months.\n\nTransparency and stakeholder managementBe the single source of truth for executives on status, risks and decisions needed.\nPartner closely with Product and function leads without standing between them; keep shared ownership of outcomes across the team.\n\nBuilding the functionDesign, roll out and refine OpenFX's program management framework with leadership and function leads.\nMeasure the role on outcomes: on-time launch, scope delivered, effort vs. plan, fewer late surprises, readiness and business KPIs met.\n\nWhat we are looking for\nMust-haves:\n7+ years of experience in program management, technical program management or similar cross-functional delivery roles, preferably in fintech.\nA track record of launching complex, cross-functional initiatives (new markets, products or regulated offerings) end to end.\nA goal-oriented mindset: you measure success by business outcomes and KPIs, not activity, and keep the team focused on what moves them.\nStrong analytical skills: you use data to set baselines, track progress, size trade-offs and back recommendations to leadership.\nAbility to lead through influence: aligning Product, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Ops, Sales and Finance without direct authority.\nStrong planning skills: dependency mapping, risk management, readiness and go/no-go processes.\nA pragmatic, iterative approach; you know when process helps and when it slows a team down.\nStrong collaboration and communication skills: you build trust across teams and seniority levels, align people with different priorities, and communicate clearly in writing and verbally, from day-to-day updates to concise executive reporting.\nComfort with ambiguity and a fast-paced startup environment.\nWhat helps you stand out:\nProgram management experience at a payments, FX, crypto or other fintech company.\nExperience with regulated launches: licensing, AML/KYC controls, banking or liquidity partner onboarding.\nFamiliarity with FX markets, cross-border payments or stablecoin infrastructure.\nExperience building a program management function or framework from scratch.\nPMP, PgMP or similar certification (nice to have, not required).\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary and benefits package.\nEquity in a rapidly growing company.\nThe chance to build OpenFX's program management function from the ground up.\nOpportunity to make a significant impact on global financial infrastructure.\nCollaborative work culture with emphasis on personal and professional growth.\nWe are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6102,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Payment Processing & Gateways","Currency Exchange & FX Payments"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-31T07:49:17Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":198,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openfx-program-manager-miami","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openfx-program-manager-miami.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T09:24:59Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14686,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":6134},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=6134"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopenfx-program-manager-miami"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopenfx-program-manager-miami"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopenfx-program-manager-miami"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/openfx-program-manager-miami\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenfx-program-manager-miami"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3563864}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"openfx.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3563864},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
