Technical Program Manager, Product & Platform

At Squarespace, we help millions to build a brand and transact with their customers in an impactful and beautiful online presence. They do this by using our growing suite of software products (websites, online stores, marketing tools, and more). Technical Program Managers (TPMs) contribute to that mission by making shipping software easier and more predictable.


We are looking for several TPMs to help these groups deliver results:

  • Presence. Build products that help Squarespace customers bring their brands to life—from registering domains to creating and publishing websites using our desktop and mobile CMS platform. Level: Senior TPM
  • Commerce. Build the best platform to start a stand out e-commerce brand and grow it. Level: Senior TPM

These are individual contributor roles and report to TPM Managers for Product and Platform. TPM is part of the Engineering department. These roles are based in New York but eligible for certain remote locations.

Bachelor's degree in relevant field or equivalent experience required.

TPMs oversee:

  • Dependency discovery during planning
  • Establishing clear escalation paths
  • Creating clear and helpful plans for delivery
  • Risk management and impediment removal throughout delivery
  • Communication and coordination throughout delivery
  • Coaching teams on delivery processes & tooling; temporarily facilitate agile processes, if needed

You will join a growing, talented team of TPMs who:

  • Understand the customer and business problems they’re trying to solve
  • Make it easier for teams to create solutions to these problems
  • Manage risks and remove (or escalate) impediments to their success
  • Enlist support from peers, leadership, and other disciplines judiciously
  • Acquire relevant functional, domain, and technical knowledge to perform their roles
  • Receive feedback graciously and turn it into concrete improvements
  • Pivot to support the needs of Squarespace
  • Be an ambassador for the TPM team
  • Guide their career development at Squarespace and beyond
  • Foster an equitable and inclusive culture

In your first three months, you will:

  • Build relationships with other TPMs, your partners in Product, Engineering & Design, leadership, and stakeholders through 1:1s and meetings
  • Learn about the customer and business problems you’ll help solve and the products & technologies you’ll be working with
  • Understand the delivery challenges facing your teams and partners today, so you can begin to improve them
  • Begin drafting your career development plan with your manager
  • Begin contributing to Squarespace culture in ways meaningful to you, e.g. Employee Resource Groups, planning or attending team events, joining affinity channels, and more.
