Head of Engineering Programme Management

Ulteig is seeking a Program Manager to enable predictable, transparent delivery of Product strategy by translating priorities into executable portfolio plans. This role operates at the intersection of Product strategy, funding, capacity, and delivery , ensuring that enterprise initiatives are evaluated, sequenced, and governed to maximize outcomes and minimize risk.
The Program Manager owns portfolio intake mechanics, planning, and governance-providing leadership with the clarity and decision support needed to make informed investment and sequencing decisions. This role partners closely with Product Leadership, Delivery Lead Management, Finance, and executive stakeholders to maintain a healthy, wellgoverned portfolio.
This position requires strong systems thinking, analytical rigor, and executive-level facilitation skills. The Program Manager is accountable for how work enters the system, how it is sequenced across time and teams, and how decisions are made and tracked -not for direct delivery execution.
Portfolio Planning & Capacity Management - 40%
Surface delivery constraints, systemic risks, and sequencing options to Product leadership and executives.
Maintain visibility into portfolio health, crossinitiative dependencies, and systemic risks.
Ensure portfolio decisions are explicitly documented, tracked, and acted upon.
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Technology, or a related discipline-or equivalent experience.

• 7+ years of experience in program management, portfolio management, strategy enablement, or complex initiative planning.
• Strong analytical capabilities, including capacity modeling, scenario planning, and investment tradeoff analysis.
• Proficiency in Microsoft tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Project) and planning/portfolio tooling.
• PMP, Agile, or related certifications are a plus.
• Decisions are timely, documented, and executed with clarity.

Program Management is trusted as a strategic enabler-not an administrative checkpoint.
