Data Program Manager Role

Peregrine Advisors
Washington, DC Full Time
POSTED ON 10/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/21/2026
Description

The work

Data Program Managers turn a collection of technical projects into one coordinated program that delivers. They align teams, funding, dependencies, schedules, risks, and decisions across data platforms, analytics, governance, software, and artificial intelligence initiatives where no single workstream can succeed alone.

The work is both strategic and intensely practical. Data Program Managers establish the operating rhythm, maintain an integrated view of scope and commitments, surface problems while options remain open, and give executives and delivery teams status they can trust. They understand enough of the underlying data and technology to test assumptions, challenge estimates, and recognize when a technical issue threatens the program's outcomes.

What You'll Build

  • Integrated program plans that connect workstreams, milestones, dependencies, resources, and decision points.
  • Governance and delivery rhythms that keep owners, risks, issues, and commitments visible.
  • Benefits and outcome measures that show whether the program is producing mission value, not merely completing activity.
  • Risk, issue, and dependency practices that drive timely mitigation and precise escalation.
  • Executive reporting, working-level coordination, and durable documentation that keep a complex program coherent through change.

Who You Are

You like complicated work when the complexity can be made legible. Your meetings end with decisions, owners, and dates, and your plans help people act rather than admire the planning.

You stay calm when several workstreams move at once. You can speak with engineers about delivery risk, with executives about outcomes and tradeoffs, and with stakeholders about what will happen next.

What You Bring

  • A working foundation in program or project delivery across multiple teams, workstreams, or vendors.
  • Experience managing scope, schedules, resources, risks, issues, dependencies, and executive decisions.
  • Technical fluency in data, analytics, software, cloud, or artificial intelligence sufficient to assess delivery assumptions and consequences.
  • The ability to establish meaningful performance measures and connect project outputs to program benefits.
  • Clear written and oral communication, disciplined documentation, and sound judgment in regulated or mission-critical environments.
