Job Description

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.

Job Responsibility

  • Portfolio & pipeline management
  • Resource & capacity management
  • Cross-team coordination & delivery
  • Risk & issue management
  • Stakeholder & communication management
  • Governance & continuous improvement

Requirements

  • 6+ years of program or project management experience, preferably within a digital design, creative agency, or modern software product environment
  • Demonstrated track record of successfully managing a portfolio of work or multiple concurrent programs, rather than just single isolated projects
  • Solid understanding of modern design processes, terminologies, and deliverables (UX, UI, Brand, and Visual design)
  • Proficiency with modern collaboration and program management tools (e.g., ClickUp, Aha!, Azure DevOps)
  • Strong critical thinking and confidence to challenge assumptions, negotiate priorities, and build trust with senior leadership
  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience

Nice to have

  • Professional project/program management certification (e.g., PMP, PgMP, Agile/Scrum, PRINCE2)
  • Experience with data visualization and operational metrics reporting

What we offer

  • A great Team and culture
  • An exciting career as an integral part of a world-leading software company providing solutions for architecture, engineering, and construction
  • An attractive salary and benefits package
  • A commitment to inclusion, belonging, and colleague well-being through global initiatives and resource groups
  • A company committed to making a real difference by advancing the world’s infrastructure for a better quality of life, where your contributions help build a more sustainable, connected, and resilient world
