Technical Project Manager
Full Time
Spreedly is the world’s first, and leading, Payments Orchestration solution. Our vision is that the world is better with a diversified, inclusive payment ecosystem. Our mission is to accelerate commerce with an open, secure, and flexible payment platform that welcomes all payment participants. Backed by Spectrum Equity, with a $75M investment, Spreedly is experiencing rapid growth.
Connecting to multiple payment services, known as payment orchestration, is the new standard. With Spreedly’s PCI-compliant cloud solution, merchants can connect to multiple payment services simultaneously, optimize their payment stack, control card data, and accept alternative payment types.
Our employees help us execute against our vision through building a culture focused on autonomy, transparency, and collaboration in a dynamic, high-growth organization.
The Technical Project Manager (TPM) is expected to have a broad level of technical knowledge of agile methodologies, principles, and processes in support of technical project execution. They will make well-thought-out decisions on complex engineering issues, clearly understand Spreedly’s technical infrastructure, and will assist in driving the discovery, scoping design, and execution of complex software solutions.
They will build strong relationships with product management, engineering, data analysis, UX, and operations teams to ensure we’re aligned on the most important priorities. They will establish credible delivery and release plans to ensure the work is sequenced properly to address dependencies and feature interactions. They will help cross-functional teams break work into manageable pieces, and identify and manage risks and critical dependencies.
Additionally, the TPM will track progress towards our goals, keep the leadership team updated on progress, escalate critical risks/issues, and engage leadership when pivotal decisions are needed. They will identify processes that will be most effective in helping us achieve our goals, and facilitate regular cross-team retrospectives.

Spreedly is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering, cultivating and preserving a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion. We actively work to drive out even unintentional discrimination in our hiring processes via practices like blindly graded work samples, structured interviews, and diversity awareness training.
Due to the sensitive nature of what Spreedly does- handling payment data- candidates must complete a successful background check. If you have concerns along those lines, please discuss with us sooner rather than later- we do not want you to waste time in the hiring process and get disqualified at the end if we can help it.
Spreedly has implemented a mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy for all in office and in-person company meetings, including mandatory quarterly all hands event.
Some of our positions are open to remote applicants. If this is the case it will be sited in the job posting just below the position name. Unless otherwise stated, remote positions are open to candidates in the contiguous US only. We are not set up to support remote employees from CA, NY, or outside the contiguous US. All applicants must have a US work visa.
We appreciate your interest in our company. Because of the high volume of resume flow, we may only respond to those candidates that we think will be a potential fit.
