At Sovos, we're dedicated to more than just solving compliance challenges -- we're committed to making a positive and lasting difference in everything we do. Our teams operate on the modern edge of digital technology, working not only to solve complex business challenges but also to enrich our personal, professional, and local communities.

Don't worry if you don't check all the boxes -- apply anyway! We're focused on hiring the right people, not just the "right" resume. It's not about what you've done elsewhere; it's all about what you're capable of doing here.

Work You’ll Do

At Sovos, we're building the future of embedded compliance and we need a strategic orchestrator to make it happen. As a Strategic Program Manager – Partner Integrations, you'll be the driving force behind high-impact ISV partnerships that extend Sovos solutions across multiple product lines and markets.

This isn't just about managing timelines, it's about architecting seamless API-first integrations that deliver value to thousands of customers while coordinating across Product, Engineering, Implementation, Support, and Go-To-Market teams. You'll work at the intersection of technology and partnership strategy, ensuring that complex, multi-team initiatives launch on time, on target, and ready to scale.

You’ll serve as the bridge between Sovos and our ISV partners, building trusted relationships with partner program leadership while maintaining crystal‑clear visibility across all workstreams. Think of yourself as the conductor of a global orchestra, ensuring every section knows when to play, what to deliver, and how it all comes together for a flawless performance.

More specifically, you will:

• Build and maintain strong relationships with ISV program leadership to ensure alignment on objectives, deliverables, and launch milestones
• Lead integrated planning sessions across Product, Engineering, and QA to align on quarterly goals, scope, sequencing, and timelines
• Represent the ISV integration within Quarterly Value Planning (QVP), ensuring dependencies and execution order are clearly defined
• Coordinate execution across multiple scrum teams, facilitating Scrum of Scrums and resolving blockers that could derail delivery
• Ensure Technology develops a coordinated testing plan reviewed and approved by Product, Tech, and Implementation teams
• Partner with GTM, Documentation, and Support teams to ensure organizational readiness and a unified go‑live support plan
• Aggregate insights from all delivery teams to provide unified visibility, risk awareness, and progress reporting for leadership
• Capture lessons learned and apply them to continuously improve future ISV execution and readiness processes

What We Need From You

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience (business, computer science, or related field).
• 7+ years in technical or program management within SaaS or technology organizations.
• Proven success leading multi‑team, API‑first product delivery in an agile environment.
• Experience coordinating with external program management teams on delivery execution.
• Strong understanding of software delivery lifecycles, testing governance, and release readiness.
• Experience with ISV or embedded partner program delivery strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in Jira, Confluence, and agile reporting tools.
• Exceptional facilitation, executive communication, and presentation skills.
• Experience with compliance‑driven SaaS products preferred
