At Litera, we don't just build software, we transform how the world's top law firms operate. Every day, we Raise The Bar  for what's possible through AI, innovation, and solutions that power millions of legal professionals worldwide.

• Own program management for active R&D integrations, including planning, status tracking, reporting, and meeting facilitation across cross-functional teams.
• Build and maintain integrated project plans with clearly assigned responsibilities, dependencies, and critical path visibility for leadership and stakeholders.
• Champion Litera's RCDOs (Rally Cry Defining Objectives), ensuring consistency and quality of data, tracking program progress, and surfacing risks early.
• Manage competing priorities, shifting timelines, and project changes with confidence - escalating risks and recommending solutions before they become blockers.
• Deliver clear, regular reporting on project health, progress, and outcomes to leadership and cross-functional partners.

Must-Haves:

• 8+ years of project or program management experience in a technology environment.
• Demonstrated experience working within Agile methodologies such as Scrum, Kanban, XP, or SAFe.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to engage senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
• High attention to detail with strong facilitation and organizational skills.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience collaborating with cross-functional and international teams across multiple time zones.
• Comfort operating in fast-paced, dynamic environments where priorities shift and ambiguity is the norm.
• A bias toward action—you keep things moving and find ways to get things done.
• A strong desire to keep learning and growing in the craft of project management.

Great candidates don't check every box. If this role excites you but your experience doesn't perfectly match every qualification, you may be just the right person for this or another role at Litera.
