Lead Technical Program Manager
About The Position
Dave is looking for a Lead Technical Program Manager to help bring Dave’s next generation of products from idea to market. This role is central to turning emerging product concepts into clear, executable programs by working across Product, Engineering, Design, Data, Risk, Compliance, and Operations. The ideal candidate is energized by 0→1 work, comfortable creating structure in undefined environments, uncovering dependencies, and making trade-offs to enable rapid learning and thoughtful building. This role connects product strategy to technical execution, guiding new products from early validation through launch and scale.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience leading complex technical programs, including significant ownership of consumer product launches or 0→1 initiatives.
- Proven experience taking products from early definition through launch in partnership with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional teams.
- Strong technical fluency across modern software systems, including mobile applications, APIs, distributed systems, data platforms, and third-party integrations.
- Experience operating in ambiguous product environments where requirements, technical approaches, and priorities evolve as teams learn.
- Strong understanding of experimentation, analytics, launch readiness, and product development lifecycles.
- Demonstrated ability to identify dependencies and risks across multiple teams and turn complexity into clear decisions and execution plans.
- Strong written and verbal communication, particularly when translating technical or regulatory complexity for senior stakeholders.
- Track record of influencing without direct authority and building alignment across teams with different priorities.
Nice To Haves
- Fintech experience across banking, payments, credit, lending, or other consumer financial products.
- Experience launching products involving financial partners, regulated workflows, or complex operational processes.
- Familiarity with LaunchDarkly, FullStory, Looker, Snowflake, and GCP.
Responsibilities
- Lead complex new product programs from early concept and technical discovery through development, launch, iteration, and scale.
- Partner with Product and Engineering leaders to translate product strategy into executable roadmaps, sequencing work across multiple teams and technical systems.
- Create clarity around architecture, dependencies, risk, operational readiness, and critical decisions as products move through different stages of development.
- Coordinate across Engineering, Design, Data, Analytics, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Finance, Operations, and Marketing to ensure launches work end to end — not just in the product experience.
- Build launch and experimentation frameworks that help teams test assumptions, learn from member behavior, and use data to inform what comes next.
- Anticipate technical and operational constraints early, helping teams balance speed to market with reliability, scalability, and long-term flexibility.
Benefits
