Business Technology Program Manager

Title: Business Technology Program Manager

Location: Austin, TX

Job Description:

The Program Manager, Business Technology will serve as the operational backbone of the Business Technology organization, driving execution discipline, team communications, and knowledge continuity across a complex, high-growth SaaS environment. Reporting directly to the VP of Technology, this role is a critical force multiplier — ensuring the team's work is visible, coordinated, and consistently delivered.

 

This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for an operator who thrives in ambiguity, communicates with precision, and knows how to move people and programs forward without direct authority.

What You'll Do:

Operational Program Management

• Maintain a consolidated view of active initiatives across Business Applications, Solutions Architecture, Data and Corporate IT

• Translate program plans into clear milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and status updates that keep stakeholders informed and execution on track

• Identify execution gaps and escalate blockers proactively, ensuring the visibility needed to make timely decisions

• Drive quarterly planning, monthly prioritization and OKR tracking across the team

• Develop and own a recurring communications cadence to keep C-suite stakeholders informed of Business Technology progress, milestones, and impact

• Translate technical and operational work into business-relevant narratives for the C-suite 

Contractor Governance & Workforce Planning

• Track the delivery, capacity, and performance of 20+ contractors across multiple workstreams

• Maintain a consolidated contractor roster with status, cost, scope, and renewal timelines

• Partner with the leadership team to develop and execute a plan to right-size the contractor workforce — including sequencing wind-downs, managing transitions, etc

• Serve as a point of escalation for contractor-related delivery issues

Knowledge Management & Architecture Documentation

• Lead a structured effort to capture, document, and distribute systems architecture knowledge across the team

• Organize and facilitate system review sessions, documentation deliverables, and recorded walkthroughs to reduce key-person risk

Who You Are:

• 8+ years of experience in program management or business operations capacity — ideally within a SaaS, technology, or enterprise software environment

• Solid communication skills — able to produce clear status updates, facilitate meetings, and present to stakeholders at the manager and director level.

• Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional programs with multiple workstreams and stakeholders

• Experience working with or managing contractor/vendor workforces, including performance tracking and off-boarding

• Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and making structured progress without waiting for perfect information

• Familiarity with enterprise application ecosystems (CRM, marketing automation, finance systems, or data platforms)

• High emotional intelligence and the ability to hold others accountable without direct authority

• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program management certification is a plus

• Prior exposure to Salesforce, Marketo, Zuora, Gainsight, or Snowflake in a business technology or operations context

• Background in management consulting or business operations at a SaaS company

• Familiarity with SOX ITGC compliance environments
