We are the innovators at the heart of the payments technology industry, shaping how the world pays and gets paid. Our technology powers the growth of millions of businesses across 5 continents. And just as we help our customers accelerate their business, we are committed to helping our people accelerate their careers. Together, we shape the evolution.\nThe opportunity\nOur Data Office is looking for a Program Manager to work alongside the Data Portfolio Manager on a group of connected data initiatives.\nYou'll report to the Data Portfolio Manager and spend most of your time with the Project Managers who run the individual projects. Your job is to pull their separate plans into one coherent program view, keep an eye on the dependencies between them, and make sure nothing drifts away from what the portfolio is actually trying to achieve.\nTo be clear about where the lines sit: the Data Portfolio Manager owns portfolio strategy, investment decisions, capacity allocation and overall performance. Project Managers own the scope, schedule, budget and delivery of their own projects. You sit in between --- responsible for program-level coordination, governance, benefits and consolidated reporting.\nDepending on how the structure evolves, Project Managers may report to you directly or work with you in a matrix. Either way, you provide the program-level direction.\nDay-to-day responsibilities\nPlanning and delivery\nTranslate portfolio priorities into a program plan that people can work from --- objectives, milestones, outcomes that can be measured. Build and maintain the integrated plan with the Project Managers, consolidating their schedules, resourcing, budgets and forecasts into a single picture.\nYou'll run cross-project planning sessions, delivery reviews and dependency meetings. When a project wants to change scope, dates or resourcing, you work out what that means for the rest of the program. When a plan looks thin, a forecast looks optimistic or nobody seems to own a piece of work, you say so.\nYou'll also coordinate capacity with Project Managers, technical leads, product managers and functional managers, and make sure decisions and commitments made in program meetings are written down and followed up.\nGovernance, risks and dependencies\nSet up and run the program governance framework, under the Data Portfolio Manager's direction. In practice this means keeping reporting timely and consistent, making sure project plans, status reports, budgets, action logs and RAID logs are genuinely up to date, and consolidating project-level risks, issues and dependencies into one program view.\nAnything that spans several projects, or that a single Project Manager can't resolve on their own, lands with you. Mitigation actions need a named owner, a date and a clear outcome --- not just an entry in a log.\nYou'll keep track of data quality, architecture, security, documentation, regulatory and operational-readiness requirements, escalate blockers and resource conflicts to the Data Portfolio Manager, and prepare the papers and recommendations that go to portfolio reviews and steering committees.\nWorking with Project Managers and stakeholders\nYou're the main coordination point for Project Managers across these initiatives. That means a reliable cadence of reviews and planning sessions, clear expectations on priorities and reporting, and real support when an issue needs unblocking across teams, functions or business units.\nPart of the job is challenging people --- on status assessments, on forecasts, on plans that don't hold up --- while respecting that delivery accountability stays with them. It works best when the relationship is a good one, so building that trust matters.\nOutside the PM group, you'll work with data product managers, architects, data engineers, business units, finance, risk, compliance and external partners.\nReporting, benefits and performance\nTurn project updates into dashboards, reports and executive presentations that give the Data Portfolio Manager an honest view of program health --- milestones, budget, capacity, risks, dependencies, expected outcomes.\nTrack the KPIs that matter: milestone achievement, delivery predictability, budget performance, capacity utilisation, risk exposure, data quality, stakeholder satisfaction. Validate what you're given rather than passing it straight through. Spot the trends and emerging risks early enough for someone to do something about them, and back your recommendations with evidence.\nOver time, we'd also expect you to improve how program and project management is done here.\nWho are we looking for\nWe look for big thinkers. People who can drive positive change, step up and show what’s next - people with passion, can-do attitude and a hunger to learn and grow. In practice this means:\nA degree in Business Administration, IT, Engineering, Data Management or something related. A Master's is a plus, not a requirement.\nReal program management experience, ideally across several interconnected data or technology projects.\nExperience working closely with a Portfolio Manager or senior portfolio leadership.\nA track record of coordinating and challenging multiple Project Managers without stepping on their accountability.\nA clear head about the difference between portfolio, program, project and product management.\nSolid grounding in integrated planning, dependency management, risk management, benefits tracking, capacity planning and consolidated reporting.\nComfort working with a wide stakeholder group --- PMs, product managers, architects, engineers, business units, finance, risk, compliance, senior leadership.\nStrong analytical instincts and the ability to recommend a fix, not just flag a problem.\nGood facilitation, communication and presentation skills.\nFluent English, including executive-level reports, governance packs and decision papers.\nOrganised, proactive, detail-oriented, and reliable on follow-through.\nFine working in either a direct reporting line or a matrix.\nAble to run the program-level work independently within the direction set by the Data Portfolio Manager.\nA pragmatic approach to governance --- enough structure to be useful, not so much that it becomes bureaucracy.\nNice to have\nWorking knowledge of data platforms, data products, data governance and data lifecycle management.\nExposure to Big Data technologies and cloud platforms, especially Microsoft Azure.\nPower BI and Excel for reporting and analysis.\nJira, Confluence, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project or similar.\nFamiliarity with Agile, SAFe, Scrum and Kanban as well as traditional delivery methods.\nCertifications such as PgMP, PMP, PRINCE2, MSP, SAFe\nExperience with budgets, vendors, contracts and external delivery partners.\nBackground in payments, financial services or fintech.\nPerks & Benefits\nAt Worldline you’ll get the chance to be at the heart of the global payments technology industry and shape how the world pays and gets paid.
