Role
Who you are
- This role requires strategic thinking with tactical execution—perfect for someone who has progressed beyond IT operations into program management and wants to architect meaningful solutions while maintaining technical depth
- Track record of owning cross-functional technical projects from initiation through delivery, with experience leading engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders
- Experience architecting and implementing automations in Jira, ServiceNow, or similar platforms, with ability to identify opportunities for AI and workflow optimization
- Foundation in IT operations (3+ years) with demonstrated progression into strategic program leadership, strong troubleshooting skills, and deep understanding of enterprise systems
- Experience owning audit processes, establishing compliance evidence frameworks, or working with security teams on documentation requirements
- Ownership mentality with proven ability to define solutions independently in ambiguous environments, balancing strategic initiatives with operational needs
Desirable
- Proficiency in scripting or programming (Python, JavaScript, etc.) to build custom automations beyond platform capabilities
- Experience with Google Workspace administration, Slack APIs, or other enterprise SaaS tooling
- Previous work with People/HR teams on employee onboarding, offboarding, or lifecycle automation projects
- Knowledge of hardware deployment processes, MDM platforms, or physical office IT infrastructure
- You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Technical Program Manager who bridges the gap between hands-on technical expertise and strategic program delivery
- You'll maintain operational awareness by staying close to the systems and occasionally resolving escalated technical issues, while owning cross-functional initiatives that shape how our organization works
- We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Villagers better measure impact and articulate coaching, feedback, and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Technical Program Manager role:
- Own the automation strategy and process architecture across enterprise technology systems, defining the roadmap for operational efficiency through workflow optimization and technical solutions
- Design and implement automation frameworks, IT workflows, and system integrations in Jira and enterprise platforms that eliminate manual work and transform service delivery for internal teams
- Own cross-functional initiatives involving People, Security, and business stakeholders, defining scope, setting timelines, and ensuring delivery from kickoff through completion
- Own IT audit preparation and compliance frameworks, orchestrating evidence gathering and documentation to support CISO team requirements
- Partner with engineering teams to architect solutions that bridge business needs and technical implementation, ensuring alignment across teams
- Define process improvements by analyzing support patterns and operational workflows to identify automation opportunities using AI, scripting, and workflow tools; maintain deep operational expertise to inform strategic decisions and guide automation priorities
- Engage stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams to define requirements, understand pain points, and align on project priorities
- Establish documentation standards and communication frameworks that keep projects on track and ensure stakeholders have visibility into progress
Our take
Anchorage is a crypto-native digital asset platform offering a raft of solutions that help companies leverage blockchain technologies. Its advanced security architecture facilitates streamlined access to the complex and fragmented digital asset space.
Financial backing for Anchorage has come from prestigious investors Visa and Andreessen Horowitz. Anchorage's broad offerings are set to be matched by plans to partner across a wide spread of neobanks, challenger & incumbent banks, and corporate treasurers. This would mean an impressive expansion of their already substantial domain of influence in a rapidly developing sector.
In early 2021, Anchorage secured a national trust charter from the OCC, making it the first-ever federally chartered digital asset bank. This is significant, as it provides a good barrier to entry for other companies looking to compete in this space, and gives legacy institutions the ability to offer digital asset access to their clients. Though it has raised considerable funding in the past, crypto instability and wider macroeconomic challenges forced Anchorage to cut 20% of its staff in March 2023. 2022 clampdowns on customer due dilligence internal controllers added to the pressure on Anchorage to streamline and refocus its efforts.
