Associate Program Manager

Associate Program Manager

Bevi is on a mission to transform how beverages are delivered and consumed. Our connected beverage platform eliminates the need for single-use bottles and cans, making it easy, fun, and sustainable to stay hydrated. As the category leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology, we're building a future where Bevi machines are everywhere people live, work, and connect. We've raised over $160M in venture capital, serve thousands of customers across the US, Canada, UK and Ireland, and we've been rapidly growing year over year, saving over 1 billion bottles from waste. In addition to driving hypergrowth with our current product line, Bevi is heavily investing in new product development.

We are seeking a driven and organized Associate Program Manager to join our Central Program Management Office (CPMO). This role owns moderately complex, cross-functional programs spanning New Product Development, Beverage Innovation, and Go-to-Market Launch execution. Operating with meaningful autonomy, the Associate Program Manager leads end-to-end delivery across teams including Hardware, Software, Beverage, Manufacturing, and GTM—ensuring programs stay on track, risks are surfaced early, and stakeholders remain aligned throughout. The ideal candidate is execution-focused, highly organized, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where accountability and clarity drive results.

The Associate Program Manager will drive cross-functional alignment and work autonomously on independent initiatives, while beginning to leverage data and structured recommendations to influence key decisions.

• Drive accountability across cross-functional teams; ensure tasks, timelines, and deliverables are progressing as expected.

• Balance short-term execution needs with overall program health and quality outcomes.
• Partner with Engineering, Product, Beverage, Manufacturing, Quality, and GTM teams to align on goals, timelines, and priorities.
• Communicate program status, risks, and dependencies clearly and consistently to diverse stakeholder audiences.
• Begin influencing decisions through data, context, and structured recommendations.
