Description

Jump is the only end-to-end fan experience platform built for sports teams and venues, breaking the mold for what fans can expect at live events.

Our enterprise software enables sports teams and venues to unlock the massive opportunities that come from real relationships with their fans, rethinking the traditional model that hasn’t put the fan experience first.

Jump was founded in 2021 by Marc Lore, Alex Rodriguez, and Jordy Leiser and backed by top venture firms including Forerunner Ventures, Will Ventures, Mastry Ventures, Courtside Ventures, and more.

We are a remote first team that grounds our actions and decisions in our core values — begin with trust, play like the underdog, and do your thing. Living our values means that we always assume positive intent, show up with authenticity and empathy, and push the limit of what is possible.

We’re actively recruiting for smart, tenacious, adaptable, and most importantly kind people to join our team!

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join our team and drive cross-functional alignment and execution across our product and engineering teams.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, loves building relationships, and has a talent for seeing around corners.

• Ensure project management tools (e.g., Jira, Monday.com) are up to date and being used effectively

• Manage ad hoc projects and initiatives as they arise

• Report on progress, velocity, and productivity—turning data into insights to guide timelines and decision-making

• Analyze project and team data to help assess capacity and develop realistic timelines

• Help evolve our internal processes to match the growing complexity of the business

• Use AI tools to automate, optimize, and innovate the way we work

What You’ll Bring

• 4+ years of experience in project or program management, ideally within technical or product-driven environments

• Experience managing multiple projects at once with competing priorities and timelines

• Clear, curiosity-driven communicator who focuses on simplicity and always seeks to understand the “why”

• Ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders - not afraid to speak up and advocate for what’s needed

• Comfort with AI tools and how they can improve program management and productivity

• Expertise in Jira management and configuration

• Proficiency with project management tools, Monday.com preferred

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience in a hands-on technical role (software engineering, technical product management, etc)

• Experience working with distributed or remote teams

• Startup experience, especially in environments with tight, immovable timelines

Attributes that will make you successful on our team

• A strong desire to learn. You have strong experience and want to continue building your skills.

• Tenacity. You enjoy working on challenges that others can’t or don’t want to tackle and you aren’t afraid of failing fast in order to find better solutions.

• Passion. You love using your skills to build products that solve real problems. You hold yourself to a high standard and help to elevate others as well.

• Empathy. You thrive in an environment where everyone can truly be themselves. You understand that our differing life experiences influence who we are and how we show up, and these diverse perspectives enrich both our team and our product.

• Customer-centric mindset. You can understand the problem to be solved and who we are solving it for.

Compensation

Compensation is something we don’t want our candidates or employees to worry about. Our goal is to offer competitive salaries that are regularly benchmarked against the market. The core tenets of our compensation philosophy are fairness and transparency.

We have established a standardized leveling framework based on job scope and responsibilities. The compensation package for each level is standard across all engineering roles.
