Bentley Systems is the infrastructure engineering software company, advancing the world’s infrastructure—sustaining both the global economy and the environment. Within Bentley, the Design organization shapes meaningful experiences—from brand to in-product interactions—with clarity, coherence, and craft. An integral part of the Design organization is the Design Strategy & Operations team, responsible for the planning, processes, and operational foundations that enable it to work effectively. From strategic planning to project management, resource management, and tooling, the team ensures designers can focus on delivering great user experiences. The Design Program Manager orchestrates programs of work across the Design organization. Rather than managing a single project end-to-end, this role manages the portfolio: the intake pipeline, resource allocation across competing demands, governance rhythms, and the cross-team coordination that keeps the whole function moving. This means connecting requests for design resource to broader objectives, balancing capacity against demand, surfacing trade-offs to leadership, and establishing the cadences and standards that make delivery predictable at scale. This role brings structure, visibility, and strategic alignment to how the Design organization plans and delivers its work, so the team can consistently do its best work on what matters most.
