This is a full-time, remote Program Manager role, open to applicants anywhere, with a salary up to $105,000 per year. It's part of the project and product management team, and it's hiring now. The role reports into a director who oversees several parallel programs, and you'd own one of them from planning through close.
Who we're looking for
You'll need a bachelor's degree in business, management, or a related field. On the experience side, we're looking for four years spent coordinating multiple related projects toward a shared strategic goal, which is a step up from simply running one project at a time.
A PMP certification is commonly valued for this kind of work, and if you have one, it'll likely come up naturally in your first conversation with us. If you don't, that's not a dealbreaker as long as your project history speaks for itself. What we're really trying to assess is whether you've managed a portfolio of related work with its own budget and competing priorities, rather than a single, well-scoped project handed to you by someone else.
What the role actually involves
- Coordinating multiple related projects that all feed into the same broader goals
- Managing budgets and timelines across those projects at once
- Aligning cross-functional teams so different departments stay pointed the same way
Picture three teams each building a piece of the same product update, on different schedules, with different managers who don't naturally talk to each other. One team hits a supply delay on hardware they need for testing. Suddenly, the other two teams' plans are only half right, and somebody has to walk into each of their stand-ups and explain what changed and why. That somebody is you. The fix usually isn't complicated, but it only works if it happens within a day or two, before three separate teams have already built a week of work on outdated assumptions.
Skills that matter here
Program planning, cross-functional coordination, and risk management form the backbone of the job. Budgeting and reporting round it out, since a lot of your week is spent turning raw project data into something a director can glance at and understand. None of these show up as isolated tasks day-to-day; a single Tuesday might involve all five at once.
- Program planning across several concurrent projects
- Cross-functional coordination with teams outside your own reporting line
- Risk management, catching problems while they're still small
- Budgeting and financial tracking
- Clear reporting, written for people who don't have time to dig through raw data themselves
- Stakeholder management, including people senior to you who still need convincing
Good to have, not required
Experience with a dedicated program or portfolio management tool goes a long way, since spreadsheets stop scaling once you're tracking more than a couple of projects. Time spent in a remote-first company is useful too. Coordinating across time zones is a genuinely different skill from coordinating down the hall, and people who've already built that muscle tend to ramp up faster here. A background in managing a program with a seven-figure budget also stands out, even if the specific industry doesn't match ours.
Pay and benefits
The role pays up to $105,000 annually, which is on the high end of remote program manager salary figures for someone with four-plus years in the field.
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- 401(k) matching
- Performance bonuses
- Regular performance reviews with merit-based pay increases
Bonuses here are tied to how your programs actually land, not to a flat percentage handed out regardless of outcome. Reviews happen on a regular cadence, and a strong one comes with an actual pay increase attached, not just a note in your file.
Life on this team
Naukri Mitra works with employers hiring for program manager roles worldwide, and this particular team is spread across several regions rather than sitting in a single office. Most coordination happens through written updates and scheduled calls, so if you're someone who solves problems best by walking over to someone's desk, this setup will take some adjustment. On the upside, meetings tend to be shorter and better documented than what you'd find in a fully in-office team, simply because nothing gets remembered unless someone writes it down.
Quarter-end is busy. Budgets get reforecasted, priorities occasionally shift, and a program that looked stable in week one may require real rework by week ten. That's normal here, not a sign something's gone wrong. The people who struggle most in this environment are usually the ones who treat every reforecast as an emergency instead of a routine part of running something this size.
Most people who land well in this role came from an in-office coordination job and had to relearn how to build trust with stakeholders without in-person time. Those relationships get built over calls and messages instead, and the people who adjust fastest tend to over-communicate early rather than assume context carries itself.
Applying
Tell us about a real program you ran, not just a project. We want the budget size, how many workstreams were involved, and at least one moment where something went sideways, and you had to fix it. If you've worked in a fully remote or work-from-home program manager setup before, mention it, along with any tools that kept your team on the same page. Skip the generic summary of your leadership philosophy; we'd rather hear about one specific week that went badly and what you did about it.
Expect two conversations if things move forward. The first covers your background and a program you're proud of. The second gets into a specific scenario, likely something involving a budget or timeline problem similar to what this role deals with regularly. Start date is flexible, and if you've got questions before applying, feel free to send them our way. We try to provide feedback within a week, even if the answer isn't what you were hoping for.
