Technical Project Manager, Reconciliation

  • Full-time

Company Description

We believe everyone should be able to participate and thrive in the economy. So we’re building tools that make commerce easier and more accessible to all. We started with a little white credit card reader but haven’t stopped there. Our new reader helps our sellers accept chip cards and NFC payments, and our Cash app lets people pay each other back instantly. We’re empowering the independent electrician to send invoices, setting up the favorite food truck with a delivery option, helping the ice cream shop pay its employees, and giving the burgeoning coffee chain capital for a second, third, and fourth location. Let’s shorten the distance between having an idea and making a living from it. We’re here to help sellers of all sizes start, run, and grow their business—and helping them grow their business is good business for everyone.

  • Develop and track initiatives’ milestones and schedules for many moving parts. Estimate work efforts, manage teams’ competing priorities, and remove blockers / dependencies to push the team to be highly effective. Manage project schedules, identifying risks and clearly communicating them to project stakeholders.

  • Gather requirements and scope projects, facilitate discussions and drive resolution of issues. Drive and stay on top of project/program execution and highlight risks. Proactively remove obstacles to drive momentum and progress. Manage issue escalations and provide support to teams balancing competing priorities.
