Dhaka Technologies Limited Company is hiring on behalf of our client Altimetrik in support of their end client MetLife for an experienced Program Manager to own delivery of an enterprise Data Hub program end to end. This is a full time hybrid role based in Cary NC with several days per week onsite.

This role is accountable for the Data Hub platform itself and everything that moves data through it. The Program Manager will be the single person who can state at any moment where every workstream stands what is at risk what is blocked and what is needed from whom. The program is delivered by teams from multiple parties including the client organization systems integrators and technology and implementation partners working side by side across workstreams. A large part of this role is making that multi party delivery behave as one program.

A leading insurance carrier is building an enterprise Data Hub on Azure Databricks Azure Data Factory and ADLS Gen 2. The hub is the single point of data movement for the enterprise: all inbound source systems land data in the hub the hub supplies Workday processed results flow back from Workday into the hub and every downstream consumer extracts from the hub rather than from source systems.

The current phase delivers the Finance domain. Subsequent phases extend the same hub to Actuarial Investment Reinsurance and Risk. Each phase adds new inbound feeds new outbound consumers and new curated data products on the same platform.

• Inbound interfaces and integrations from all source systems into the Data Hub.
  
• Bi-directional integration between the Data Hub and Workday covering hub to Workday loads and Workday to hub returns.
  
• Outbound interfaces and integrations from the Data Hub to all downstream and reporting consumers.

Leading a Multi-Party Delivery

• Lead teams from multiple companies toward one plan one set of milestones and one definition of done without direct reporting authority over most of them.
  
• Set common standards for estimation planning status reporting and defect management so every party reports in the same language.
  
• Make handoffs between organizations explicit and hold both sides to them.
  
• Manage partner and vendor commitments against SOWs and service expectations and escalate through the right channel when commitments slip.
  
• Onboard incoming teams from any party quickly into the programs standards tooling environments and access.
  

Status Reporting and Transparency

• Publish clear consistent status per workstream and a defensible overall program status with RAG ratings backed by reasoning.
  
• Report against plan with real measures: milestone burn-up interface delivery counts by stage defect trends and environment and release readiness.
  
• Build and maintain a single source of truth for program status decisions and artifacts.
  
• Tailor communication by audience and escalate early with a recommendation not just a problem statement.
  

Dependencies Risks and Issues

• Maintain a cross team dependency register spanning source system owners Workday teams downstream consumers infrastructure security and every delivery partner each entry with named owners on both sides and a committed date.
  
• Run a live risk register with impact likelihood triggers mitigation and contingency and drive mitigation to completion.

• Anticipate collisions such as freeze periods financial close windows shared environments and overlapping release trains.
  
• Drive decisions to closure and document what was decided and why.

• Manage resourcing and onboarding across workstreams and parties including offshore teams.
  
• Ensure delivery follows the agreed SDLC change management security and audit controls expected in a regulated insurance environment.

• 10 years in IT delivery including 5 years as a Program Manager or senior Project Manager accountable for multi workstream programs and their overall status.
