Purpose Brands

Purpose Brands, the parent company of Orangetheory, Anytime Fitness, Waxing the City, The Bar Method, and Basecamp Fitness, is seeking a Technical Project Manager III to join its team. This is a great position for someone who is looking to expand their career, and join a company with a fun, fast-paced and inspirational culture.

Purpose Brands is seeking a Technical Project Manager III (TPM III) to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives across our Payments and Member Management System (MMS) ecosystem— including managing the technical delivery and integrations that support the launch of new countries as Purpose Brands expands globally. This role requires a unique blend of strategic program leadership, technical acumen, and stakeholder management—overseeing the coordination, planning, execution, and continuous improvement of global payment systems and integrations with multiple MMS, Payment, and Biller vendors.

As a senior individual contributor, the TPM III operates at the intersection of technology, business, and execution excellence. The role partners with leadership across Engineering, PMO, Product, Global Market Technology, and Analytics to ensure alignment, visibility, and the successful delivery of multi-stream initiatives. You’ll balance strategic program planning with the rigor of structured program governance, driving clarity, accountability, and communication across all workstreams.

The ideal candidate is a natural orchestrator—adept at managing multiple concurrent programs, engaging seamlessly with both technical and business stakeholders (internal and external), and translating between strategic intent and operational execution.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead end-to-end program governance and execution for Payments Microservice and API initiatives, from planning through delivery and operational support.
• Serve as a key member of the PMO, ensuring consistency in program methodology, reporting, and stakeholder communication across multiple initiatives.
• Serve as the primary liaison between Purpose Brands and external vendors on critical initiatives, overseeing all technical workstreams while maintaining alignment on timelines, quality, and outcomes.
• Facilitate cross-functional planning and dependency management across Engineering, Product, and Analytics to ensure seamless coordination and delivery of key milestones.
• Manage our existing structured communication cadences—including steering committees, program reviews, and stakeholder updates—to ensure transparency and alignment.
• Proactively identify and mitigate risks, issues, and cross-program dependencies, using formal tracking and escalation mechanisms to ensure accountability.
• Maintain comprehensive program documentation that communicate status, progress, and key decisions.
• Drive strong vendor management discipline, ensuring clear ownership, accountability, and performance tracking across all external partners.
• Balance technical fluency (APIs, data models, microservices) with program leadership—ensuring that business goals and technical execution stay connected and mutually reinforcing.
• Exhibit executive presence in steering committee meetings and leadership forums, communicating complex updates succinctly and confidently.
• Demonstrate strong documentation and notetaking discipline—capturing key decisions, action items, and risks in real time during meetings. Reliance on post-meeting transcripts or AI summaries is insufficient; live synthesis and clarity are critical for success in this role

REQUIRED QUALIFICATION/EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, Computer Science, Management, Information Systems, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• 7+ years of experience in technical program or project management, ideally within payments, APIs, or microservices environments.
• Proven ability to lead multiple concurrent programs with global stakeholders and vendors.
• Strong understanding of how APIs, microservices, and distributed systems operate across multiple vendors and global architectures.
• Experience working within or alongside a formal PMO, including portfolio-level reporting, risk management, and stakeholder governance.
• Exceptional communication, facilitation, and documentation skills—able to simplify technical concepts for executives and provide clarity to engineering teams.
• Demonstrated success using project management frameworks and tools like Jira and Confluence for structured tracking and reporting.

CORE COMPETENCIES

• Program/Project Leadership & Governance: Brings order, structure, and clarity to complex initiatives; drives accountability through existing Purpose Brands PMO frameworks.
• Stakeholder Management: Builds trusted relationships across technical and business functions; manages expectations through clear and consistent communication.
• Technical Fluency – Understands vendor integrations and data architecture deeply enough to translate between technical detail and business strategy.
• Execution Discipline: Balances strategy and detail, driving measurable progress across multiple simultaneous workstreams.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Unites engineering, product, and vendor teams under common objectives and timelines.
• Analytical Foresight: Anticipates challenges, identifies dependencies early, and adapts plans to maintain momentum.
• Communication Excellence: Crafts concise, audience-tailored updates for both executive and technical stakeholders.
• Executive Presence: Communicates with clarity, confidence, and poise in high-stakes settings; adapts tone and content to influence senior audiences effectively.
• Documentation Discipline: Actively listens and captures information with precision; takes clear, structured notes and action items during discussions without reliance on recordings or automated transcription tools.
