About the role:

This is a high impact position offering the chance to shape the foundational technology that will drive Flex’s transformation from a single-product solution to a broad financial services platform.

What you’ll do

Run launches end to end

• Launch management: Own the launch plan: timeline, milestone tracker, technical and GTM project management, and escalations when dates slip.
• Experience: Document UI/UX in Figma (placement, partner-surface screens, Embed onboarding) and verify the experience launches correctly and stays correct.
• Technical design: Drive technical design decisions and troubleshooting during the build, alongside the Engineering Lead who owns the build.
• Pilot partners: Be the day-to-day contact for pilot partners and keep them responsive.

Operate live integrations

• Partner syncs: Run recurring technical syncs with partners, including agenda and follow-ups.
• Incidents: Together with the Technical Account team, own incident escalation and partner communications during issues. 
• Monitoring: Review partner performance data monthly and work with Analytics to resolve tracking issues.
• Partner asks: Respond to partners for product functionality and improvements.
• Cross-team fixes: Make sure other Flex teams fix and test bugs that affect Integrated partners.

Improve the platform

• Platform generalization: Partner with Product and Engineering to evolve our current integrations into a broader, reusable API and platform that supports diverse billers and payment types, including rent. 
• Integration excellence: Turn recurring partner issues into reusable process (templates, checklists, runbooks, tooling) that makes each integration faster to launch and cheaper to maintain.

Key qualifications

Required

• Experience: 5+ years in technical program management, technical product, solutions or integration engineering, or a similar role running cross-functional technical launches.
• Integrations: Hands-on experience with third-party integrations and APIs (REST, webhooks, authentication, SDKs, sandbox and production environments), and comfort reading API docs and technical specs.
• Program management: A track record of taking multi-team projects from kickoff to launch, with milestone tracking, risk management, and escalation.
• Communication: High attention to detail, with precise and effective communication with external partners and senior stakeholders, including during incidents.
• Influence: Comfort being accountable for outcomes you do not directly control. You will work across BD, Engineering, and partners without managing them.
• Low ego: As a rapidly growing startup, everyone is a doer. You will lead through influence with no direct reports, and dive into the details yourself.
• Pace: Desire for a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Strongly preferred

• Fintech and payments: Experience with money movement (flow of funds, ledgering, reconciliation, banking-partner constraints).
• Proptech: Experience with property management software and its ecosystem (for example Yardi, Entrata, RealPage, MRI, AppFolio).
• Incident management: Experience running incident communications and post-incident follow-through.

Nice to have

• Partner programs: Experience running a partner program or developer relations function, or owning a partner API or self-serve integration surface.
• Design collaboration: Experience working with design on partner-facing UI, and fluency in Figma.
