Senior Technical Program Manager

Highbeam is building the future of business banking and cash management. Our platform combines AI agents, automated financial workflows, and integrated financial products that save brands time and money. 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.
