## Description

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to support the Payments Engineering team. This person will partner with our Payments engineering, ops, and product teams to build new Payments capabilities and deliver strategic business priorities.

As a TPM, you will play a crucial role in tackling complexity and delivering predictable, consistent, and impactful results. You will lead complex projects/programs that touch multiple product surfaces, services, functions and teams, and hence are required to keep the big picture in focus while being able to dive into the details, working through unique challenges.

Success in this role requires a strong sense of ownership, coupled with the ability to think critically and strategically while managing relationships with cross-functional stakeholders.

Responsibilities:

- Lead planning, execution, and delivery of large cross-functional initiatives aimed at meeting key business priorities.

- Balance broad, outcome-driven thinking with attention to critical details, exercising sound judgment to prioritize where deep focus is necessary to ensure successful execution.

- Shape and influence the technical direction of projects, ensuring we meet stakeholder needs while maintaining high-quality standards.

- Define and secure stakeholder alignment on clear, measurable success criteria to accelerate initiatives.

- Regularly assess risks and opportunities, and devise proactive mitigation strategies to maintain momentum and project success.

- Maintain transparent and effective communication channels to keep stakeholders informed of progress, developments, and challenges.

- Expertly present outcomes and updates to senior leadership, clearly and comprehensively articulating trade-offs, risks, and emerging opportunities.

Requirements:

- 7+ years of experience in the software development industry, with at least 5 years as a TPM or relevant experience.

- B.S. in Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.

- Demonstrated ability to work calmly through ambiguity to detailed solutions.

- Self-motivated, proactive and ability to adapt well and work with teams having different operating cadences.

- Proven track record of influencing others in combination with strong analytical skills and allowing others to give feedback while understanding their viewpoints.

- Experience developing processes where little exists and demonstrated flexibility to get things done.

- Detail-oriented with the ability to understand the bigger picture by using your technical expertise and problem solving abilities to prioritize and manage blocking issues.

- Experience working in a highly cross-functional environment where communication with multiple groups is imperative.

- Excellent written and oral business communication and people skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders.

- Exhibit knowledge of Asana, Jira, or other equivalent task management tooling.

Nice to have:

- Experience developing or working directly on various aspects of large-scale ML/AI platforms.

- Experience with feature development of AI-powered product experiences.

- Experience and passion for building and maintaining products leveraging AI models
