Senior Technical Program Manager

What You Will Own

• Program Strategy & Delivery Management: Drive the vision, roadmap, and execution for the reporting portfolio. Manage cross-functional dependencies, prioritize backlogs, enforce delivery accountability, and proactively mitigate technical and operational risks.
• Functional Design: Translate complex finance Business Requirement Documents (BRDs) into detailed functional specifications. Define product events, sub-ledger posting rules, accounting schemas, multi-entity setups, exception-handling logic, and automated reconciliation criteria.
• Domain Integration & Coverage: Lead end-to-end requirement mapping across premium engine accounting, claims/reserving feeds, reinsurance accounting, vendor/channel partner settlement pipelines, IFRS 17 / Ind AS implementations, and IRDAI / IIB regulatory filings.
• Hands-On Technical Investigation: Directly analyze transaction pipelines and financial data models using SQL, AI-assisted analytics tools, and financial models. Troubleshoot data anomalies, trace root causes across upstream event streams vs. sub-ledger calculations, and drive resolution.
• Data Governance & System Integrity: Ensure end-to-end data lineage, auditability, and balance-sheet integrity across high-volume transactional pipelines and enterprise GL systems.

What You Bring

• Relevant Experience: 8-12 years of technical program management or product delivery experience leading enterprise financial systems, accounting sub-ledgers, or finance technology transformations.
• Domain Expertise: Strong mastery of financial accounting workflows, sub-ledger to GL integration, and reporting frameworks. Direct experience in the insurance sector (P&C, Health, Reinsurance) and IFRS 17 / Ind AS 117 implementation is highly preferred.
• Hands-On Analytical Capability: Basic SQL proficiency in cloud data warehouses (e.g., Google BigQuery, Snowflake), know-how of finance tools and models, and comfortable leveraging modern AI/LLM tools for fast debugging and specification drafting.
• Stakeholder & Leadership Skills: Proven track record of influencing cross-functional leaders (CFO, Controllership, Chief Actuary, VP of Engineering) and managing competing business priorities with clarity and assertiveness.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Finance, or equivalent. CA, CPA, or MBA in Finance/Systems is a strong plus.

What Success Looks Like

• Clear Functional Specs: 100% of finance requirements are backed by production-ready accounting rules, validated schemas, and clear acceptance criteria prior to engineering sprint planning.
• Predictable Execution: Technical deliverables meet targeted release dates with zero critical post-release accounting defects or unmapped event drops.
• Accelerated Financial Close: Measurable reduction in month-end accounting close timelines and automated reconciliation turnaround times.
• Regulatory & Audit Compliance: On-time execution of IRDAI/IIB regulatory reporting pipelines with zero non-compliance audit exceptions.
