Job description

Role overview

Drive execution across a technical program portfolio spanning AI-powered product builds and cross-functional infrastructure initiatives at a B2B accounts receivable and payments software company. As a Technical Program Manager, you will pair AI co-work tools with strong program judgment, tracking workstreams, surfacing risk early, unblocking engineering, and translating technical complexity into decisions leadership can act on.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution of assigned technical programs and strategic initiatives, from scope definition through delivery.
• Convert scattered lists of open items into structured plans with clear owners, dates, and dependencies, then drive them to completion.
• Partner directly with engineering teams, engaging in technical conversations about architecture, trade-offs, and constraints.
• Translate technical complexity into plain-language updates for non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
• Maintain a real-time view of program health across the technical portfolio and flag risks early.
• Build reporting and dashboards that synthesize data from multiple systems into a single source of truth.

Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of experience in technical program or project management, ideally supporting engineering or product teams; recent graduates with strong internship or co-op experience are also considered.
• Demonstrated ability to build AI into personal and team workflows for planning, tracking, and reporting.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and structuring loosely defined asks into plans with clear owners and dates.
• Working technical fluency, with the ability to hold a substantive conversation with engineers about architecture and trade-offs.
• Track record of taking ownership of a messy list of open items and driving it to closure.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to flex between technical and executive audiences.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting AI product builds or technical transformation initiatives.
• Background in a high-growth or PE-backed environment where speed matters more than process maturity.
• PMP, CSM, or equivalent program management certification.

Benefits and work setup

• Expected base salary range of $111,138 to $138,923 annually, with potential additional incentives such as equity, commissions, or other variable performance bonuses depending on role.
• Comprehensive health coverage, competitive retirement benefits, generous PTO and parental leave, and flexible work options.
• Meaningful investment in professional development.
• Onsite role based in Nashville, TN, working from the Gulch office.
