Aderant is seeking a Program Manager.

Aderant is scaling how we plan, execute, and collaborate to strengthen the way we work. This role will drive clarity, delivery, and decision-making across complex initiatives - ensuring teams ship predictably while leaders have real-time visibility into progress, risks, and tradeoffs.

What you'll do in this role:

• Own end-to-end program delivery for cross-functional R&D initiatives: planning and governance, milestone and dependency tracking, stakeholder engagement, and release readiness.

• Build operating rhythms for your programs: execution reviews, decision logs, stakeholder updates, and quarterly planning inputs.

• Create visibility that leaders trust: status narratives, dashboards, and "what matters / what changed / what we need" updates (not just activity reporting).

• Drive dependency management across teams - identify path blockers early, negotiate sequencing, and escalate with clear options.

• Improve execution systems: standardize templates and frameworks, intake workflows, program artifacts, and ways of working (lightweight but consistent).

• Facilitate planning: support quarterly planning, capacity conversations, and tradeoff decisions using data and clear problem statements.

• Partner tightly with Engineering & Product leaders to translate strategy into executable plans and ensure delivery aligns to outcomes.

• Run clean ceremonies when helpful (kickoffs, sprint planning, retros, release readiness reviews, stakeholder demos).

What success looks like:

• Priority programs ship with predictable delivery and fewer late surprises.

• Leadership gets clear, consistent visibility (risks, decisions, tradeoffs) and faster alignment.

• Teams spend less time in status churn and more time executing because systems + artifacts are reusable.

• Dependencies and scope changes are managed proactively with crisp decision points.

What we're looking for:

• 4-7 years' experience in Program Management / Technical Program Management /

• Product Ops / Delivery roles in SaaS organizations.

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders and dependencies.

• Strong written and verbal executive communication - can produce crisp updates and facilitate decisions.

• Comfortable with modern tooling (e.g., Jira/Confluence, Azure DevOps, GitHub, Smartsheet).

• Strong fundamentals in scope management, sequencing, risk management, and stakeholder alignment.

• Experience with SaaS platforms, enterprise customers, regulated/contract-heavy environments, or release governance.

Preferred experience:

• Experience standing up program governance (intake, prioritization, portfolio views).

• Familiarity with SDLC / release management concepts and metrics (cycle time, throughput, predictability).

• Experience partnering with Support/Services on release readiness, communications, and customer impact.
