Technical Program Manager, Marketing

At Squarespace, we empower people with creative ideas to succeed.

That means delivering beautiful software products to our customers. Technical Program Managers (TPMs) contribute to that mission by making shipping software easier and more predictable.

The Internal Engineering team is looking for a TPM (Individual Contributor) to partner with our engineers to plan and deliver technical projects that enable our Marketing team to reach their goals—today and as we scale. The work you ship will directly support the Marketing team’s commitment to making Squarespace a global brand by promoting our products, spearheading creative campaigns, and providing a platform for our customers to tell their Squarespace stories.

You will partner with Engineering Leadership and the Marketing team to build and deliver on a technical roadmap. Projects include third-party platform integration (e.g. Sailthru, Impact) and designing a single repository of all customer transactions and activities across our marketing channels. You will also partner with Engineering Leadership and stakeholders to identify opportunities for process and product optimizations. You will be the point of contact for project communication regarding status, schedule, and scope updates, as well as track risks, dependencies, and blockers.

Throughout your work, you will identify and coach Engineering and Marketing stakeholders on process improvements for technical project planning and delivery. You will also partner with other TPMs to provide everyone at Squarespace with a set of tools and workflows to manage technical projects more efficiently and seamlessly.

This role is located in New York and reports to the Internal Engineering TPM Team Lead in New York.
