Senior Program Manager

About the role

Hi, I’m Miri, Senior Director of Growth Marketing at Customer.io, and I'm looking for a Senior Program Manager, Growth Operations to help drive alignment and execution across our self-serve growth motion.

This is a role for someone who thrives on creating clarity where there isn't any, can hold a room of opinionated stakeholders accountable without friction, and knows the difference between moving fast and moving smart. If you want to own the operating layer of a growing self-serve business and work alongside teams who are genuinely invested in getting it right, this is the role.

About you

• You're a natural connector and systems thinker who knows that the real work happens in the gaps between teams.
• You don't wait to be assigned a playbook — you build one.
• You communicate differently with a PM working through a roadmap decision than you do with a CMO looking for a signal on program progress, and you know exactly when to escalate vs. when to just handle it.

What we value

• Clarity over completeness. You know how to synthesize a complex program into what actually matters — for the working team and for leadership — without losing the thread.
• Influence without authority. You've driven outcomes across teams that don't report to you, and you've done it by building trust, not just by asking nicely.
• Structure as a service. You bring frameworks and operating rhythms because they genuinely help people do better work — not because they look good in a slide.
• Bias for momentum. You identify blockers early and move fast to clear them. You don't wait for a perfect plan to start making progress.
• Curiosity about the business. You want to understand why the programs you're running matter, not just how to keep them on track.

What you'll do

• Lead coordination across high-priority self-serve growth initiatives spanning onboarding, activation, lifecycle, monetization, and pricing — keeping cross-functional teams moving and accountable.
• Build and maintain clear execution plans with timelines, owners, and dependencies across Marketing, Product, Engineering, and GTM.
• Gather context from each team's planning process, synthesize it, and partner with leadership to inform quarterly prioritization.
• Develop reporting frameworks and dashboards that give leadership consistent visibility into progress against self-serve OKRs and program throughput.
• Identify blockers, risks, and gaps early — and drive resolution proactively, escalating when needed.
• Help the team scale its operating rhythms as our self-serve motion grows in scope and complexity.

What we're looking for

• 8+ years of experience in program management, strategic operations, product operations, or a cross-functional ops role — ideally at a B2B SaaS company.
• Track record of owning complex, multi-team programs end to end, with clear examples of driving alignment across Product, Engineering, and Marketing.
• Strong influence skills — comfortable driving accountability without direct authority across senior stakeholders.
• Ability to communicate at two levels: crisp summaries for leadership and detailed working-level coordination with execution teams.
• Experience in a remote-first, async environment — you know how to build relationships and drive outcomes without being in the room.
• Genuine comfort with ambiguity — you create structure rather than waiting for it.
• Familiarity with PLG, self-serve growth, or B2B SaaS metrics is a strong plus.

Compensation & Benefits

• We believe in transparency. Starting salary for this role is $130,000 - $146,000 USD (or equivalent in local currency) depending on experience and subject to market rate adjustment.
• We know our people are what make us great, and we're committed to taking great care of them. Our inclusive benefits package supports your well-being and growth, including 100% coverage of medical, dental, vision, mental health, and supplemental insurance premiums for you and your family. We also offer 16 weeks paid parental leave, unlimited PTO, stipends for remote work and wellness, a professional development budget, and more.
