Programme Manager

About us

Since 1913, the agency has added data science, analytics and in-house production teams. Headquartered in Hyderabad, the agency also runs a production studio in Telangana. We use Asana for projects and Slack for everything else.

Looking for a Programme Manager who wants to stay somewhere for a while. Looking for someone who runs a tight meeting, writes a status report people actually read and escalates early. We use Smartsheet for schedules and Jira for the technical work. MS Project experience is fine too. We engage team members in Pakistan as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

Job duties

Track risks, issues and decisions in an RAID log. Manage project budgets and forecast spend to completion. Close projects with lessons learned and a clean handoff to operations. Plan and support go-lives, including cutover and rollback steps. Keep project documentation organised in SharePoint or Confluence. Define scope, schedule, budget and resources with project sponsors.

Skills and experience

7+ years of project management experience. Organised, with a habit of following up. Proficient in Smartsheet, MS Project or a similar tool. Working knowledge of waterfall and Agile methods. Experience managing budgets and multiple projects at once. Strong written status reporting.
