As a PM Lead at WhiteTech, you will drive the delivery of multiple product and technical streams across our FinTech initiatives.

Acting as a senior delivery layer above Project Managers, you will standardize execution practices, improve delivery discipline, and ensure teams operate in a structured, predictable, and business-aligned way.

This role requires a combination of program-level oversight and deep involvement in active delivery, ensuring no critical risks or blockers go unnoticed. You will collaborate closely with CEO, PMO, Product, Project Managers, BA, QA, and engineering teams.

  • Work with Product, PMO / Delivery, CEO and other stakeholders to align priorities between teams and initiatives.
  • Support decision-making regarding scope trade-offs, sequencing, and change impact.
  • Help teams stay focused on the most business-critical work.

Release Readiness and Delivery Control

  • Oversee release readiness across assigned teams and streams.
  • Ensure that release plans, ownership, dependencies, QA readiness, and follow-up steps are clearly defined and tracked.
  • Monitor release risks and make sure they are visible and acted upon before they affect delivery.

Metrics, KPIs and Reporting

  • Ensure transparency across Jira, Confluence, and reporting tools
  • Establish and maintain program-level delivery metrics, KPIs, and status indicators.
  • Monitor delivery health and support data-driven decisions
  • Improve processes, planning, and delivery governance

Process Improvement
