Reporting to the Director of Product Operations, this Technical Project Manager will own the cross-functional projects that move our most important initiatives forward — driving them from kickoff through delivery, holding stakeholders accountable, and serving as the trusted point of contact for partners, executives, and internal leaders.You'll be a senior, client-facing project leader who understands technology and digital initiatives well enough to drive them — without needing to write the code or own the roadmap. You'll run the meetings that matter, surface the risks early, and get things done across teams that don't naturally align on their own.This role is both internal- and external-facing. You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Programs/Operations, Marketing, Customer Care, Fire Safety, Finance, and external partners to align on scope, resolve open questions, and drive outcomes.What You'll DoExternal partner project leadership: Serve as the senior project owner on integrations and initiatives with our enterprise partners. Run the working sessions, manage scope and timeline commitments, drive technical alignment, and own the communication back to both organizations. Capture decisions and ensure follow-through, escalating as needed.Cross-functional project delivery: Lead the projects that span Product, Engineering, Operations, and GTM — platform launches, system integrations, partner portals, digital initiatives, AI tooling rollouts. Set sequencing, manage dependencies, track milestones and blockers, and drive projects across the finish line with hints of program-level thinking when initiatives stretch across multiple workstreams.Stakeholder management and executive communication: Own the status narrative on the projects you run. Brief executives clearly. Frame risks and decisions so senior leadership can move quickly. Manage stakeholders across every level — director, VP, and C-suite — both internally and at partner organizations.Technical fluency: Lead conversations on APIs, integrations, authentication, and digital workflows without needing a translator. Pressure-test scope and approach. Push back when a proposal creates downstream issues. You don't need to code, but you need to be credible in a room with engineers and product managers.Process, cadence, and follow-through: Establish the operating rhythm that keeps projects predictable — milestone gates, decision logs, risk registers, status communication. Adapt the cadence to the project; resist ceremony that doesn't earn its keep. Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Programs/Operations leads, and Go-To-Market teams to align on commitments, clarify edge cases, and drive outcomes. Facilitate the working sessions that resolve hard problems.Required Skills & Experience8+ years in technical project management, with senior-level experience driving complex cross-functional initiativesDemonstrated track record of running enterprise client- or partner-facing projects end-to-end — you've owned the relationship with senior stakeholders at large organizations, not just attended the meetingsStrong technical fluency: APIs, integration patterns, authentication, cloud platforms, digital initiatives.
