Head of Technical Programme Management

Sardine is the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime. Our integrated solution unifies data across risk teams to help organizations stop fraud in real time, prevent AI-driven attacks, and automate fraud and AML operations. Sardine's platform is strengthened by one of the fastest-growing fraud consortiums in the market, spanning more than 6 billion profiled devices, 800 million consumers, and 3 million businesses worldwide. We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.
We're a remote-first team spread across time zones, so no office to report to - work from wherever helps you do your best work. Just a couple of things to keep in mind: pay is based on where you're located, and you'll need to keep a home base in the country you're hired in. So while we love the "coffee shop today, mountains tomorrow" life, this isn't a passport-optional, work-from-anywhere-on-Earth kind of remote - think flexible within your country, not borderless.
Remote - United States or Canada

As Sardine grows with enterprise clients, our delivery process needs to meet the program management rigor that clients expect - formal governance, clear ownership, and predictable reporting - while moving at the pace of a fast-growing startup, not a large legacy vendor.
You'll own the integration project plan on complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise engagements: milestone deliverables, dependencies, implementation timeline, and tracking client-specific product feature requests through to resolution, all built and maintained in close coordination with the client. Own the integration project plan for enterprise engagements, including milestone deliverables, dependencies, and implementation timeline
Communicating regularly & proactively, surfacing risks early, and deeply understanding the client's requirements
Establish RACI and roles/responsibilities upfront on every engagement, so accountability is unambiguous to both Sardine and the client's project office
Manage regular, structured communication across Engineering, Product, Integrations, and the client - and manage client expectations proactively rather than reactively
Report on project health: deliverable slippage and root cause, dependency risk, and capacity planning across concurrent enterprise engagements
7+ years of technical program or project management experience, including time spent managing implementations for large enterprise clients

• Comfort acting as a thought partner to Engineering and Product - able to speak credibly enough about technical dependencies and tradeoffs to help unblock and prioritize, not just track status

• Generous compensation in cash and equity
• Remote-first Culture
