Head of Technical Program Management

Role description

  • Type of contract: Full-time

  • Place of work: Hlavní město Praha, Czech Republic

At EmbedIT, we help ambitious companies go further, faster by building and running complex IT solutions used by millions around the world. From enterprise-grade fintech platforms to AI-driven data services, we solve big, real-world challenges — and our delivery engine is at the heart of that success.  

As Head of Technical Program Management, you’ll be the leader who brings simplicity to complexity — making delivery predictable, trusted and smooth while empowering teams to do their best work. You’ll lead a seasoned group of Program, Project and Delivery Managers and shape how we scale excellence across product and client engagements. 

This role is all about leadership with impact, not process for process’s sake — because real delivery confidence comes from clarity, not bureaucracy. 

What you’ll be responsible for 

Leading delivery at scale 

  • Own and shape how technical programs are delivered across EmbedIT
  • Set clear, pragmatic standards for planning, dependencies, risks and reporting
  • Increase predictability and confidence across complex, multi-team initiatives 

Building strong leaders, not just processes 

  • Lead, mentor and grow a team of Program, Project and Delivery Managers
  • Set the bar for accountability, ownership and communication quality
  • Build a clear capability and career model for delivery professionals 

Making execution work in the real world 

  • Ensure programs start with realistic assumptions — and stay on track
  • Surface risks early and address them before they become surprises
  • Act as the escalation point for cross-team, resource or client-critical issues
  • Work closely with Product, Engineering and Account leadership as a true partner 

Being a trusted voice 

  • Translate delivery complexity into clear, executive-level insight
  • Provide leadership with honest, data-driven delivery signals
  • Act as a trusted delivery advisor for key clients when needed 

What success looks like (first 3–6 months) 

  • Delivery becomes calmer, more predictable, more transparent
  • Fewer last-minute escalations, more proactive conversations
  • Program managers operate with shared language, tools and standards
  • Product and engineering leaders trust delivery as an enabler, not a constraint 

What we’re looking for 

  • 10+ years of experience in program / portfolio delivery leadership
  • A strong background in technical delivery environments
  • Experience running multiple concurrent programs across products and clients
  • The ability to scale delivery practices without over-engineering them
  • Confidence partnering with senior leaders and executives
  • Fluent English — you’re comfortable leading discussions, influencing stakeholders and presenting complex topics clearly in an international environment
  • Strong leadership presence and calm under pressure
  • The ability to influence without relying on hierarchy
  • Sound judgment and decision-making in ambiguous situations
  • A pragmatic, solution-oriented mindset
  • Natural ownership — you don’t wait to be asked when something needs fixing 

Nice to have (not deal-breakers): 

  • Fintech or financial services experience
  • Background in hybrid product / consulting environments
  • Experience with both Agile and more structured delivery models 

Join EmbedIT family and enjoy

  • Motivating yearly bonus 
  • 5 weeks of paid vacation 
  • 5 days of Personal time off 
  • Meal allowances 
  • Contribution to the pension scheme or DIP - Long-Term Investment Product
  • Access to premium healthcare or a monthly allowance for health activities and relaxation
  • Complimentary tea and subsidized coffee 
  • Relax room & games room 
  • Possible internal growth 
  • Loyalty and referral bonuses  

 

If you enjoy leading through influence, turning ambiguity into structure, and being the person executives trust when things get complex — this one’s for you.
