About the Role

Shine is a financial copilot for entrepreneurs and small business owners, now part of Cegid, a European leader in cloud software. We are building Europe's leading financial copilot for small businesses and their accountants, supporting over one million small businesses and 15,000 accountants across Europe.

Responsibilities

Orchestrate end-to-end banking programmes from outcome definition to execution across Product, Tech, Legal, Compliance, Ops, and vendors.
Define clear success metrics, establish benefit owners, and conduct post-launch reviews to evaluate long-term impact.
Protect hard regulatory/market dates by managing scope while keeping compliance, security, and operational guardrails intact.
Drive incremental, sliced delivery along the critical path to de-risk launches and avoid big-bang releases.
Partner with Product leadership to prioritize concurrent programmes and make trade-offs transparent.
Own overall launch and operational readiness (runbooks, support models, migrations, rollbacks, communications, and monitoring).
Align cross-functional teams through clarity and trust rather than formal authority.
Deliver concise, decision-oriented status reporting for leadership and Steering Committees.
Facilitate workshops designed strictly for fast decision-making rather than status recaps.
Maintain real-time visibility across team, vendor, and regulatory dependencies to anticipate second-order risks early.
Explicitly manage key vendor integrations (milestone alignment, risk visibility, cutover plans, and clear ownership boundaries).
Partner with SMEs and Legal to identify risks early and execute concrete contingency plans.
Resolve blockers directly with teams; escalate only when genuinely stuck, always bringing a recommended decision.
Rely on minimal, high-impact artifacts (clear goals, live dependency maps, honest risk registers) over heavy documentation.
Offer lightweight templates and playbooks as opt-in services to product teams, not forced governance.
Run action-oriented retrospectives that result in concrete operational improvements.
Establish clear decision rights so teams know what to resolve locally versus what requires escalation.
Use governance strictly to accelerate execution and remove roadblocks.

Requirements

Proven background in Programme Management, PMO, or Chief of Staff roles within product-driven tech, banking, or fintech environments.
Proven execution of complex, cross-functional initiatives (e.g., core infrastructure or international market expansion).
Skilled in incremental delivery, rolling-wave planning, fixed deadlines, and evidence-based scope shifts (aligning rather than overriding PM roadmaps).
Maps complex dependencies across internal teams, third-party vendors, and regulators to catch downstream issues early.
Protects the critical path and cuts scope deliberately while maintaining security, compliance, and resilience guardrails.
Remains steady when deadlines are at risk, defaulting to the lightest process that solves the problem.
Tailors communications across all organizational levels and runs high-efficiency, decision-focused sessions.
Self-directed operator who produces lean, high-impact artifacts without prompt and avoids process for its own sake.
Conversant in APIs, data flows, platform migrations, testing, and release readiness to partner effectively with tech leads.
Weighs cost of delay, opportunity costs, and capacity constraints when guiding trade-offs.
Solid understanding of EU financial regulations (PSD2, DORA, ACPR/BaFin/DNB); comfortable partnering with specialized Compliance SMEs.
Professional English fluency required.
Proficient with delivery stacks like Linear, Notion, or equivalent platforms.
