Sr Program Manager

ABOUT THIS ROLE This Sr Program Manager role with Apex Cost Basis and Tax sits at the intersection of product, engineering, operations, and client‑facing teams. You will drive alignment within Cost Basis and Tax and across the broader Apex organization, keeping cross‑functional initiatives moving in a fast paced and agile environment. It is a high‑visibility role where you will partner directly with leaders across the organization and have a real impact on how we deliver for our clients. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Build and maintain strong working relationships across product, engineering, operations, and leadership to drive alignment and effective coordination. Ensure priorities, progress, risks, and decisions are communicated effectively across teams and to leadership, and are aligned to strategic business objectives. Facilitate and focus the forums that matter: kickoffs, retrospectives, cross‑team syncs, leadership reviews. Champion team and individual efforts across the organization in a positive, respectful way. Support teams in planning and delivering against commitments through annual, quarterly, and monthly coordination. Proactively identify and resolve blockers across teams, whether unclear requirements, misaligned priorities, or resource constraints. Lead cross‑organization programs, integrations, and migration efforts where multiple teams need to coordinate delivery. Own transparent reporting on portfolio health, delivery progress, and key metrics, and present at leadership meetings, quarterly business reviews, and other forums. Drive continuous improvement across teams and the organization by facilitating retrospectives, capturing learnings, and following through on the changes teams agree to make.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Business Administration or similar field, or equivalent work experience. 5+ years of experience in program management, with a track record of managing cross‑functional programs in a cloud/SaaS environment. Hands‑on experience using AI tools to accelerate program delivery and as a working practice of incorporating AI into daily workflows. Demonstrated success working across organizational boundaries, building relationships and influencing outcomes without direct authority. Experience in environments where product development teams own their delivery and the program manager’s role is coordination and enablement. REQUIRED SKILLS AND ABILITIES Ability to thrive with ambiguity and manage competing priorities in a fast‑moving environment. Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to tailor messages for audiences from project teams to executive leadership. Strong judgment on when to convene stakeholders, when to elevate, and when to let teams execute.
