Company Description

Forbes Advisor is a high-growth digital media and technology company that empowers consumers to make confident decisions about money, health, careers, and everyday life. Our global data organisation builds modern, AI-augmented pipelines that turn information into revenue-driving insight.

Job Description

We’re hiring a Program Manager to orchestrate complex, cross-functional data initiatives—from revenue-pipeline automation to analytics product launches. You’ll be the connective tissue between Data Engineering, Analytics, RevOps, Product, and external partners, ensuring programs land on time, on scope, and with measurable impact.

If you excel at turning vision into executable roadmaps, mitigating risk before it bites, and communicating clearly across technical and business audiences, we’d love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own program delivery for multi-team data products (e.g., revenue-data pipelines, attribution models, partner-facing reporting APIs).
  • Build and maintain integrated roadmaps, aligning sprint plans, funding, and resource commitments.
  • Drive agile ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, retrospectives) and track velocity, burn-down, and cycle-time metrics.
  • Create transparent status reporting—risks, dependencies, OKRs—tailored for engineers up to C-suite stakeholders.
  • Proactively remove blockers by coordinating with Platform, IT, Legal/Compliance, and external vendors.
  • Champion process optimisation: intake, prioritisation, change management, and post-mortems.
  • Partner with RevOps and Media teams to ensure program outputs translate into revenue growth and faster decision making.
  • Facilitate launch readiness—QA checklists, enablement materials, go-live runbooks—so new data products land smoothly.
  • Foster a culture of documentation, psychological safety, and continuous improvement within the data organisation.
     

Qualifications

  • 7+ years program or project-management experience in data, analytics, SaaS, or high-growth tech.

  • Proven success delivering complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives on aggressive timelines.

  • Expertise with agile frameworks (Scrum/Kanban) and modern collaboration tools (Jira, Asana, Notion/Confluence, Slack).

  • Strong understanding of data & cloud concepts (pipelines, ETL/ELT, BigQuery, dbt, Airflow/Composer).

  • Excellent written and verbal communication—able to translate between technical teams and business leaders.

  • Risk-management mindset: identify, quantify, and drive mitigation before issues escalate.

  • Experience coordinating across time zones and cultures in a remote-first environment.

 

Nice to Have

 

  • Formal certification (PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, SAFe, or equivalent).

  • Familiarity with GCP services, Looker/Tableau, or marketing-data stacks (Google Ads, Meta, GA4).

  • Exposure to revenue operations, performance marketing, or subscription/affiliate business models.

  • Background in change-management or process-improvement methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma).

Additional Information

  • Monthly long weekends—every third Friday off.

  • Fitness and commute reimbursement.

  • Remote-first culture with flexible hours and a high-trust environment.

  • Opportunity to shape a world-class data platform inside a trusted global brand.

  • Collaborate with talented engineers, analysts, and product leaders who value innovation and impact

What you need to know about the Chennai Tech Scene

To locals, it's no secret that South India is leading the charge in big data infrastructure. While the environmental impact of data centers has long been a concern, emerging hubs like Chennai are favored by companies seeking ready access to renewable energy resources, which provide more sustainable and cost-effective solutions. As a result, Chennai, along with neighboring Bengaluru and Hyderabad, is poised for significant growth, with a projected 65 percent increase in data center capacity over the next decade.
