Role Summary
5C is building its Program Management Office as the company scales rapidly across data center construction, cloud infrastructure, and software delivery. As a Senior Program Manager, you will be a founding member of this function, partnering across engineering, operations, and business teams to lead complex, cross organizational programs.
This is a hands on, build from the ground up opportunity. You will help design the lightweight process and governance that let 5C move at the pace of a fast-growing company, while increasing velocity, driving accountability, and ensuring transparency across the organization. You will be a partner in building the PMO itself, not just executing inside one that already exists.
How We Work At 5C
Our core values guide how we collaborate, make decisions, support one another, and serve our customers. We're looking for people who embrace them and help us build something great.
What You Will Do
Own end-to-end delivery of complex, cross-functional programs spanning software platforms, cloud infrastructure, and data center operations.
Partner with engineering, operations, and business teams to align on scope, milestones, and success metrics for each program.
Co-design and launch lightweight program cadences - planning, status reviews, and retrospectives - built to match the pace of a fast-growing company rather than slow it down.
Identify risks and cross-team dependencies early, driving them to resolution rather than simply escalating.
Build simple, high signal reporting that gives leadership visibility into program health without adding unnecessary overhead.
Act as a thought partner to leadership on which processes are worth institutionalizing now versus deferring as the company scales.
Drive accountability by clarifying ownership, decision rights, and milestones across teams that do not normally coordinate directly.
Continuously right-size process as the company scales - keeping what earns its place and retiring what doesn't.
What You Bring
10+ years in program/project management, management consulting, or business operations, including leading complex cross-functional initiatives.
Proven experience building or scaling a program management function, not just operating within an established one.
Skilled at creating structure in ambiguous, fast-changing environments, with a bias toward pragmatic action over process for its own sake.
Strong executive communication skills - able to translate complex, multi-workstream programs into clear, concise updates for senior leadership.
Demonstrated success partnering across engineering, operations, finance, or other functions without formal authority over those teams.
Generalist mindset, with experience leading programs across varied domains rather than a single technical specialty.
