    Who we are looking for

    Mercatus, a State Street Company, is seeking a Director of Program Management to ensure successful Implementation and Configuration Services ("ICS"), meeting customer requirements while promoting customer adoption and providing a channel for the sale of other company Software and Services. This role is extremely critical as it takes the handoff of a client from a finalized Sales contract to ensuring that the customer is effectively on-boarded (a consulting engagement that could last several months). As a new hire on this team in high growth phase, this person has the unique opportunity to also support business development efforts heavily throughout the sales process. As such, the role is equal parts Sales, Client Management, and Operations, and it works closely with every area within the company while gaining a deep understanding of all areas of the business. The Director of Program Management will be the key interface to customer success and have consistent exposure to large private markets funds and multinational companies. The key to this role is delivery – the Director of Program Management will lead the execution to deliver to client goals while being a trusted advisor to the client. Remote work is a possibility.
