About the role

  • As a Senior Program Manager on the Technology team, you'll play a high-impact role leading some of Justworks' most complex and strategically important cross-functional programs.
  • You'll look across roadmaps and organizational boundaries to identify dependencies, constraints, and opportunities for leverage, helping leaders make informed decisions about priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs.
  • The Justworks Technology Program Management team advances our mission by leading the complex, cross-functional programs that turn our most important Product and business strategies into outcomes for our customers.

Responsibilities

  • Independently own highly complex, strategically important programs from problem definition through execution and measurable business impact
  • Build scalable program operating models from the ground up, establishing governance, decision rights, stakeholder engagement, planning mechanisms, and operating rhythms appropriate to the complexity of the work
  • Partner deeply with Product and Technology leaders to connect business strategy, Product strategy, and execution across roadmaps, influencing prioritization, sequencing, and tradeoffs toward broader outcomes
  • Build strong relationships across organizational boundaries and influence senior stakeholders with different priorities and incentives to create alignment and drive decisions without formal authority
  • Build durable systems and ways of working that reduce organizational friction and continue creating value beyond your direct involvement
  • Proactively identify and take on opportunities beyond core responsibilities to strengthen Program Management practices and drive impact across Technology
  • Demonstrated experience building complex programs or operating models from the ground up and leading them through execution and measurable outcomes
  • Demonstrated ability to influence senior and executive stakeholders, navigate competing priorities, and drive consequential decisions across organizational boundaries without direct authority

Requirements

  • 5+ years of program management, strategy, operations, product, consulting, or equivalent experience leading complex cross-functional work in a modern technology business
  • A strong commitment to problem-solving, with demonstrated ability to define and structure highly ambiguous problems rather than relying on a predefined solution or execution plan
  • Deep Product and Technology fluency, with experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering leaders and understanding how business strategy, Product strategy, roadmaps, prioritization, and delivery connect
  • Strong business acumen and the ability to connect program decisions and tradeoffs to broader customer, business, and organizational outcomes
  • Strong systems thinking, with the ability to identify patterns, dependencies, second-order effects, and organizational constraints across complex environments
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to use quantitative and qualitative evidence to frame problems, evaluate options, and influence decisions
  • Excellent persuasion, written and verbal communication, and storytelling skills, with the ability to make complex problems understandable and recommendations compelling
  • Strong judgment and the ability to determine when additional structure is needed, when to simplify, and when to challenge or reframe the approach entirely

Compensation

  • The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $166,000.00 to $214,000.00 per year.
