The role

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to lead technology initiatives spanning product integration and an AWS-to-GCP cloud migration. This person translates high-level goals into workstreams and dependencies, working directly with engineering teams on architecture, APIs, and technical blockers. Strong cloud knowledge and coordination across distributed teams are essential.

What you'll do

Lead the end-to-end technical program across MSCI engineering, First Street engineering, and AgileEngine engineering teams.
Drive execution of the First Street product integration, including workflows, technical dependencies, testing, milestones, and delivery activities.
Lead planning and coordination for the AWS-to-GCP cloud migration, including migration planning, dependencies, validation, parallel runs, testing, data reconciliation, and production cutover readiness.
Translate high-level initiatives and backlog items into detailed workstreams, milestones, dependencies, sub-stories, execution plans, and measurable outcomes.
Work closely with engineering teams and technical leads to understand architecture, components, APIs/integrations, cloud services, databases, and technical dependencies, and help unblock technical issues.
Coordinate engineering, testing, data, cloud, and product activities across multiple teams and actively manage dependencies.
Establish structures and processes for roadmap and backlog tracking, risk management, issue escalation, and follow-up.
Ensure milestones and delivery commitments are met, while transparently raising risks, blockers, dependencies, and deviations to senior stakeholders.
Prepare and distribute weekly program/status reports and present progress, risks, decisions, and actions to relevant stakeholders and senior management.
Work with engineering and business stakeholders to continuously refine the roadmap and detailed backlog as integration and migration work progresses.
Drive effective collaboration across geographically distributed teams, particularly India and New York.
Maintain a strong understanding of AWS and GCP and the mapping of AWS services and capabilities to GCP equivalents.
Use AI-assisted tools and automation where they can improve program execution, engineering efficiency, reporting, and technical problem solving.
