Software Program Manager Jobs in Roselle, NJ (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Clearwater Analytics is looking for a Senior Program Manager to operate at the organizational level — partnering across product and engineering teams to bring structure, velocity, and clarity to complex, multi-stakeholder programs. The role requires building programs from the ground up, defining charters, aligning stakeholders, managing risk, and driving outcomes across the organization.
Responsibilities:
• Own end-to-end program management for cross-functional initiatives across product and engineering — including OEMS, PMS, UI/UX, and other teams depending on program load — from initiation through delivery
• Build and maintain project charters, program roadmaps, risk registries, and milestone tracking to keep programs on schedule and stakeholders informed
• Coordinate with product managers and engineering senior development managers to ensure program work is properly prioritized and queued — keeping execution moving without owning team ceremonies directly
• Proactively identify risks, surface blockers, and drive resolution with a bias toward action
• Deliver clear, well-structured program reporting to leadership — leveraging AI tools and creative approaches to make status communication efficient and impactful
• Collaborate with the TPM team to establish, refine, and continuously improve program management processes and frameworks across the organization
• Partner with engineering leads and product managers to translate business goals into executable program plans with clear milestones and accountability
Qualifications:
Required:
• 9 years of Technical Program Management experience, ideally in a fintech, SaaS, or capital markets environment
• Demonstrated ability to build project charters and drive programs from ambiguity to delivery with minimal direction
• Proficiency with program management tooling and artifacts: roadmaps, Gantt charts, risk registries, and milestone tracking (Jira, Confluence, or equivalent)
• Strong command of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and familiarity with waterfall delivery where applicable
• Solid understanding of SDLC and how software moves from concept to production
• Working knowledge of engineering fundamentals — infrastructure, architecture, and system design — sufficient to engage credibly with technical teams
• Familiarity with design principles, APIs, and cloud platforms
• Comfort with AI tools and a creative, curious approach to using them — especially for reporting, documentation, and program communication
• Strong cross-functional coordination skills — comfortable managing relationships across engineering, product, design, and business stakeholders
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to translate technical complexity for executive audiences without losing the detail that matters
• High ownership mindset — you treat program outcomes as your own, not someone else’s responsibility
• Genuine team player who builds trust within your immediate team and across stakeholder groups alike
Preferred:
• Direct work experience in capital markets, fintech, or front office environments (order management, portfolio management, or trading systems)
• Experience scaling a TPM function or standing up program management practices in a growing organization
• Familiarity with DevOps practices — useful for infrastructure or platform-adjacent programs
• Experience with budgeting and resource management at the program level
• Familiarity with OKR/KPI frameworks and how to connect program execution to business outcomes
• Technical background — prior development, platform, or systems experience, or active personal coding projects
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification
