Job Description
Job Title: Program Manager – Technical / Data & Systems MigrationLocation: McLean, VA (On-site)Employment Type: Contract (W2 through ZipStaff — No C2C or 1099)
About the Opportunity:
ZipStaff is seeking an experienced Program Manager to lead technology and data-migration programs at a major financial services organization in the housing-finance / capital-markets space.
This is a 50/50 generalist and technical program role. About half the work is stakeholder management, executive reporting, and risk — the other half is data and system migrations, including cloud-bound technology moves. Pure PMO coordinators and non-technical program managers will not be a fit.
What You’ll Do:
- Coordinate and manage multiple programs / projects through milestones and delivery.
- Split time across generalist program management and technical / migration work.
- Support data and system migrations, including technology moves toward the cloud.
- Identify, report, and mitigate risks with solution-oriented follow-through.
- Liaise with business and technical stakeholders — requirements, expectations, and progress.
- Prepare clear management reports and executive presentations.
- Analyze, interpret, and visualize data to support capital-markets business decisions.
- Recommend data-driven process improvements.
- Keep requirements, changes, and outcomes documented.
- Work in Jira (or similar) and stay current on capital-markets operations, products, and data flows.
Required Qualifications:
- 7+ years of IT / technology program management experience.
- Demonstrated 50/50 mix of generalist PM skills and technical program management.
- Hands-on experience with data and/or system migrations (cloud migration experience preferred).
- Strong stakeholder management and executive-level communication.
- Proven risk identification, reporting, and mitigation.
- Working knowledge of Jira or similar PM tools.
- Financial-services background.
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Data Science, or equivalent experience.
- Ability to work on-site in McLean, VA.
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Capital markets, credit risk, trade lifecycle, settlements, market data, or financial-instruments experience.
- Tableau, Power BI, or similar visualization tools.
- Agile, PMP, or other project/program certification.
- Experience presenting to senior leadership in a regulated financial environment.
