It all started with an idea at Block in 2013. Initially built to take the pain out of peer-to-peer payments, Cash App has gone from a simple product with a single purpose to a dynamic app, bringing a better way to send, spend, invest, borrow and save to our millions of monthly active users. With a mission to redefine the world's relationship with money by making it more relatable, instantly available and universally accessible, at Cash App you'll have the opportunity to make a real-world impact with your career.

Technical Program Managers at Cash App are passionate about being of service through cross-functional collaboration between engineering teams, demonstrating ownership & accountability, solving chaos with structure and helping us land sound technical outcomes as we further our mission of economic empowerment. We focus on the details, explore creative solutions, overcome obstacles and never settle for status quo.

Our mission as TPMs is to get things done. To accomplish this, we must wear hats in various shapes and sizes.  Technical Program Managers need to deliver impact so they are expected to deliver results but they don’t have direct authority. This requires a significant level of skills and creativity in leadership and influence.

  • Roadmaps and quarterly plans
  • Celebration of wins
  • Highlighting risk

• Build and leverage relationships across the organization

• Clarify the end state vision of the initiative with discrete time intervals where appropriate (quarter, half, 1-3 years)

• Work with stakeholders to set clear, ambitious goals that are bought in and agreed upon

• Partner with Product Managers, Engineering Managers and Technical Leads to decompose ambiguous technical problems into tracks of work, with clear and prioritized deliverables, and owners identified

• Identify inefficiencies in processes, products, and technology and driving improvements 

You have:

• 10+ years of relevant experience

• Impact oriented who can identify how initiatives and effort can move the needle for the organization

• Broad technical expertise including but not limited to infrastructure, network, systems and applications

• Exposure to high growth, large-size companies

• Detail oriented and ability to drive initiatives to completion

• Analytical thinking and problem solving

• Strong program management experience, especially working cross functionally

• Clear and concise verbal and written communication skills

• Ability to influence various stakeholders including technical leaders and executive management
