Role Overview

A Client-Facing Technical Program Manager (TPM) owns delivery with our largest enterprise clients. You run the weekly cadence, scope what clients ask for, push back when a request is unrealistic, and escalate the right issues at the right time, so our engineers can stay focused on the roadmap. You represent Wealth.com, not the client: our roadmap, our capacity, and what we will and won't do. This role reports into Engineering and partners closely with Product, Support, and the business.

What You’ll Do

  • Run the Weekly Client Cadence: Own the project plan, status, risks, and decisions with the client, so engineers join calls only when their depth is needed.

  • Scope with Judgment: Work out what a client request really requires, such as where SSN redaction should live (database, API, or UI), and turn vague asks into scoped, agreed requirements.

  • Say No, and Say It Well: Push back with reasons and alternatives when a request is unrealistic, too large, or off-roadmap. Break "A through Z now" into "A through C now, the rest later," without damaging the relationship.

  • Escalate at the Right Time: Raise critical, blocked, or security-sensitive items early with a clear ask and an owner. Don't escalate everything, and never let an open item sit for months.

  • Know the Client and Our Plan: Learn each client's needs, constraints, and quirks, and weigh them against our roadmap, team capacity, and competing initiatives.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work daily with Engineering, Product, Support, and the business side, translating client needs into requirements and engineering constraints into language clients accept.

  • Handle Hard Conversations: Deliver bad news, manage missed expectations, and keep communication steady through delays.

  • Build Repeatable Process: Turn what works for one enterprise client into playbooks, templates, and reporting that other large clients can reuse.

What We’re Looking For

  • Technical Foundation: Past experience as a software engineer, or a computer science degree plus hands-on technical work. You can follow architecture and delivery tradeoffs and judge effort without being hand-held. You don't need to be coding today.

  • Program Management Experience: 7-10+ years running technical programs with external stakeholders. Prior TPM, consulting, solutions or forward-deployed engineering, or similar client-facing technical roles all count.

  • Proven Client-Facing Skill: Ability to describe a past client project, its conflicts, and how you handled them, clearly and without heavy prompting.

  • Willingness to Say No: You hold a position under pressure, neither a doormat nor combative, and keep the client's trust.

  • Cross-Functional Track Record: Experience working with Product, Engineering, Support, the business side, and clients on go-to-market products.

  • Platform-Level Understanding: You learn how the whole product fits together, not only one client's slice, and use that to right-size requests.

  • High Technical Presence: Exceptional written and verbal communication, adjusted for engineers, executives, and clients.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with large enterprise or financial-institution clients

  • Familiarity with security, compliance, and due-diligence reviews

  • Experience with enterprise integrations, SSO, or data handling (such as PII redaction)

  • Exposure to WealthTech, FinTech, or estate and tax planning (helpful, not expected)

  • Experience building repeatable client delivery processes

Benefits & Perks

  • Hybrid work arrangement in New York City (3x a week)

  • Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance options, with low-cost premium structures that demonstrate our commitment to offering great value to our employees.

  • 100% company-paid basic life insurance, short-term and long-term disability insurance.

  • 100% paid parental leave upon eligibility.

  • Company equity managed through Carta.

  • 401k with match and 100% vesting upon hire.

  • Flexible PTO in an environment where taking time off to relax or recharge is supported and encouraged.

  • Take time off for holidays—and yes, your birthday counts too. Celebrate, relax, and recharge without thinking twice.

  • Free estate planning for life!
