- Partner with professional services and strategic partnerships teams to ensure customer and commercial requirements are appropriately reflected in platform roadmaps and delivery plans.
- Translate complex technical considerations into clear strategic recommendations and communicate decisions, risks, dependencies, and progress effectively to engineering, product, and executive stakeholders.
- Monitor overall program health, identify emerging risks and dependencies, and establish mechanisms that keep teams accountable to critical outcomes.
- Support the evolution of a scalable platform that enables customers and product teams to customize technology through programmable capabilities, APIs, workflows, and reusable platform primitives.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in technical program management, with a demonstrated track record of delivering complex, cross-organizational technical programs.
- Strong product sense and the ability to understand enterprise customer needs, translate them into actionable priorities, and balance customer value with technical and business considerations.

- Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional teams, driving decisions, resolving conflicts, building consensus, and coordinating organizations with competing priorities.
- Strong track record of delivering complex technical programs from planning through execution, with the ability to manage dependencies, risks, scope, and competing priorities.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong technical understanding and the ability to engage meaningfully with engineering teams, evaluate architectural and platform trade-offs, and understand complex technical dependencies.
- Experience working in product management or product operations is a plus.
- Experience with developer platforms, API products, extensibility platforms, SaaS products, or payment/financial technology environments is advantageous.
- Strong analytical, organizational, communication, stakeholder-management, and decision-making skills.
- Comfort working in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where successful outcomes require influence and collaboration rather than direct authority.

- Competitive annual salary range of CA$153,700–CA$230,500 for the primary Canadian location, with final compensation determined by experience, qualifications, and location.
- Potential equity and company bonus opportunities, depending on role and location.
