About The Position

HealthEquity is seeking an AVP, Technical Program Management to lead the work that crosses product, engineering, design, data, security, operations, and sales. The role owns cross-team initiatives and the systems and decision-making processes that help the company plan and deliver work. The company is moving from annual commitments to quarterly planning while adapting to engineering teams that use AI agents, and this leader will help establish those capabilities as they evolve. The position reports to the VP, Strategy, Development and Planning and leads 14 technical program managers, both directly and through a manager. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on making decisions and delivering outcomes, rather than building a reporting-focused PMO or chief-of-staff function.

The role is remote, with mandatory onsite participation in Trailhead onboarding at HealthEquity's headquarters once per quarter. HealthEquity covers required travel and accommodations.
