The Staff Business Program Manager (BPM), New Product Introduction plays a critical role in bringing ecosystem-connected roadmap initiatives to life. This role is responsible for operationalizing technical partner-facing initiatives that support the product roadmap and ensuring new capabilities move from concept to launch with clarity, alignment, and operational rigor.

The BPM drives end-to-end execution planning for ecosystem-dependent roadmap milestones, including 0→1 product introductions. They build scalable operating mechanisms and align cross-functional teams to deliver these initiatives on time with clear ownership and accountability.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

Role clarity: what this role is / is not

This role focuses on

• Ecosystem operations leadership
• Operating model ownership for partner-connected roadmap work
• Cross-functional execution and launch readiness
• Risk, dependency, and timeline management aligned to roadmap outcomes

This role does not own

• Partnerships strategy
• Partner relationship management
• Deal negotiation or sourcing
• Commercial outcomes

Responsibilities

Own NPI operations as a program (end-to-end)

• Define and run the operating model for ecosystem operations tied to the product roadmap, including intake, prioritization, tracking, SLAs, and escalation paths.
• Establish measurable expectations for what “ecosystem ready” means for roadmap milestones and launch moments.
• Coordinate cross-functional execution across Product, Engineering, and supporting teams to ensure partner-connected initiatives move forward predictably and on schedule.

Lead cross-functional readiness for launches and communications moments

• Drive integrated readiness plans with Product and Engineering leadership and key cross-functional partners (Comms/PR, Brand, Legal, Marketing, etc.).

• Ensure partner-related operational deliverables are completed on time, including:

  • logo approvals and brand usage compliance for announcements and press releases

  • quote collection and approval workflows for PR moments and events
  • asset tracking and version control for time-sensitive communications

Drive external engagements involving ecosystem partners

• Own end-to-end logistics and preparation for relevant external events and engagements, ensuring EPD (Engineering, Product, Design) has clear goals, talking points, and aligned internal support.
• Deliver key EPD messages in external stakeholder interactions; representing the perspective and strategy and EPD leaders, capturing outcomes and driving timely internal follow-through on commitments, approvals, and next steps.

Build scalable processes, tooling, and documentation

• Create lightweight, repeatable playbooks and templates that reduce friction and improve consistency across teams.
• Identify systemic bottlenecks and implement improvements (for example: clearer approval workflows, standardized intake forms, readiness checklists, and status reporting).
• Anticipate risks and coordinate mitigation plans before issues impact delivery.
• Escalate with clear context, options, and recommendations when tradeoffs are needed (scope, timing, or sequencing).

Qualifications (required)

• 6+ years of relevant experience in program management, business operations, or equivalent cross-functional delivery roles in a product/technology environment.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders, dependencies, and deadlines.
• Strong operational judgment, including comfort working with ambiguity and improving systems that are still forming.
• Excellent written communication skills, including the ability to clearly document decisions, share status updates, and create process documentation.

Qualifications (preferred)

• Experience supporting product launches and go-to-market readiness efforts, particularly where approvals and external-facing assets are involved.
• Familiarity with brand, PR, and legal review processes (for example: logo usage, quotes, embargoed announcements).
• Experience operating in incubation or early-stage environments where priorities shift quickly and processes need to be built as you go.
• Familiarity with startup and developer ecosystems (founders, developer communities, accelerators, meetups, and partner events).
• San Francisco Bay Area-based (preferred), to support in-person participation in key external stakeholder moments and events; openness to occasional travel.
