About The Position

StackAdapt is the leading technology company that empowers marketers to reach, engage, and convert audiences with precision. With 465 billion automated optimizations per second, the AI-powered StackAdapt Marketing Platform seamlessly connects brand and performance marketing to drive measurable results across the entire customer journey. The most forward-thinking marketers choose StackAdapt to orchestrate high-impact campaigns across programmatic advertising and marketing channels. As a Senior Program Manager, Learning & Development, you will own and evolve two of the most business-critical programs at StackAdapt: Global Onboarding and Global Compliance. These programs directly impact employee readiness, speed-to-productivity, and our ability to operate effectively and responsibly at scale. This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of employee experience, business performance, and operational rigor. You will set the strategy, drive execution, and continuously improve both programs to meet the needs of a fast-growing, global organization. This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable executing high-quality programs today and evolving them for tomorrow. You’re energized by operating across the full spectrum — from logistics and delivery to design, facilitation, and strategy — and you’re motivated by building, testing, and improving as you go. At StackAdapt, we value range, ownership, and low ego. This role is designed to grow in scope and complexity over time, including deeper ownership of learning design and facilitation of higher-impact, higher-stakes experiences.

Requirements

Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional programs with high visibility and business impact
Demonstrated ability to operate across both execution and strategy in a single role
