About this role

We’re hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to drive execution across the most critical partner programs at Highbeam. You’ll own timelines, dependencies, and delivery across banking partners, card and payment vendors, and compliance workstreams (SOC2, BSA/AML, PCI), translating between compliance, product, engineering, and external partners. The bar is external programs that ship faster and more predictably, with leadership no longer pulled into day-to-day coordination.

This role is based in our NoHo, NYC office or Toronto office.

Drive execution across partners like bank partners, card and payment vendors

Own the critical path for partner and compliance work, freeing leadership to focus on broader priorities

Own timelines, dependencies, and delivery for cross-functional programs

Own compliance and audit readiness (SOC2, BSA/AML, PCI)

Unblock engineering from external dependencies and ambiguity

Lead incident response and resolution across money movement systems

Ensure partner requirements are clearly defined, tracked, and delivered

Qualifications

5-8 years TPM or technical program leadership experience, ideally in fintech, payments, or other regulated industries

Track record managing partner integrations with banks, card networks, or payment vendors

Deep familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC2, BSA/AML, PCI) and how they map to engineering work

Strong systems thinking; can translate between compliance, product, engineering, and external partners

Comfortable shipping in ambiguity, with a bias for driving clarity and removing blockers

Experience leading incident response in money movement systems or other production-critical environments

Skilled at holding vendors and partners accountable to timelines and outcomes
