About The Position

We are looking for a Program Manager to join the Nexcess Platform PM Team and own end-to-end delivery of assigned programs and projects across the Nexcess Platform Roadmap. This is a high-accountability, cross-functional role that sits at the center of how Nexcess builds and ships platform capabilities. You will report to the Director of Program Management and work directly with Engineering, Product, Reliability, Sales, Marketing, and Client Success to move programs from intake through delivery. Your programs are committed roadmap investments with real revenue implications, technical complexity, and cross-functional dependencies that span multiple teams and timelines. You bring a mix of project and program management experience, communicate clearly at all levels of the organization, and know how to drive alignment across teams that do not always share the same priorities. You are organized, proactive, and comfortable owning your work independently.

• Demonstrated history managing complex, cross-functional programs and projects independently
• Experience delivering programs with SLT stakeholder accountability and executive-level reporting

• Strong written and verbal communication, especially in high-pressure or ambiguous delivery situations
• Project and program management platforms: Linear, Asana, Jira, or similar
• Communication and documentation tools: Slack, Confluence, Google Workspace, or similar
• Familiarity with Agile, hybrid, or waterfall delivery environments
• Ability to translate delivery complexity into clear status and risk language for leadership audiences
• Experience with roadmap planning, dependency mapping, and cross-team coordination at scale

• PMP certification (active)
• Background in managed hosting, cloud infrastructure, or B2B SaaS strongly preferred
• Experience coordinating GTM readiness across Sales, Marketing, and Client Success simultaneously
• Background running UAT end-to-end including triage, defect tracking, and sign-off
• Experience supporting quarterly roadmap intake and planning with a Product or Engineering leadership team
• Familiarity with compliance-adjacent delivery environments such as PCI, HIPAA, or SOC 2
• Exposure to eCommerce platform delivery, cloud infrastructure programs, or CDN services

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end delivery of assigned programs and projects from initiation through close
• Build and maintain program plans, schedules, RAID logs, and dependency maps across all active workstreams
• Drive progress against milestones and hold cross-functional teams accountable to delivery commitments
• Identify risks and blockers early, escalate with context, and help resolve them
• Support quarterly roadmap intake and planning cycles in collaboration with the Director of Program Management
• Build and maintain SLT-level status reporting for all assigned programs and projects
• Facilitate regular stakeholder meetings, publish decisions and action items, and maintain momentum between sessions
• Manage communication across Engineering, Product, and GTM partners throughout the program lifecycle
• Support executive-level reporting for the Director and Product VP
• Bring clear, confident communication to ambiguous or high-pressure delivery situations
• Coordinate GTM readiness across Sales, Marketing, Client Success, and Training for assigned programs and projects
• Ensure all GTM dependencies are identified, tracked, and resolved ahead of launch
• Lead and facilitate internal enablement sessions for assigned programs
• Manage launch checklists and go-live coordination
• Own comprehensive UAT planning, execution, triage, and prioritization for assigned programs and projects
• Coordinate UAT participation across QA, Engineering, and Product teams
