About the team & opportunity Why join Calendly’s R&D Strategic Operations team?

Calendly is the scheduling automation platform used by millions of users for eliminating the back-and-forth emails to find the perfect time — and so much more. We’re looking for a highly experienced and seasoned Lead Program Manager to accelerate the delivery of R&D strategic programs and projects from problem space definition to customer impact.

This is an exciting opportunity to take on a leadership role in delivering against Calendly’s most important business outcomes, and will also be an opportunity to set the standard for operational excellence at Calendly. We are looking for a dynamic and strategic leader who can influence stakeholders across the organization, drive cross-functional alignment, and lead through influence to deliver on a portfolio of high-impact high-complexity programs and projects.

This role reports to the Head of R&D Strategic Operations, as part of the Chief Technology Officer's organization.

A day in the life of a Lead Program Manager at Calendly As a Lead Program Manager, you will manage a portfolio of R&D programs and projects, ensuring that all aspects of the program are well defined and aligned – from setting program-level objectives and success metrics to driving alignment around scope, timelines, and dependencies; and actively managing and triaging ongoing risks and decisions to remove obstacles and impediments along the way.

On a typical day, you will:

Lead end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of strategic programs and projects from problem space definition to customer impact – including defining program-level OKRs, scope, resourcing requirements, milestone timelines, dependency management, risk mitigation, decision making, progress/impact tracking, etc.

Partner with leadership and cross-functional stakeholders from across the organization to anticipate, address and remove obstacles and impediments through effective problem framing and decision-making facilitation

Establish (and model) the standard for the program management craft at Calendly – including establishing best practices for planning, prioritization, execution, program governance, data-driven decision making, etc.

Improve cross-functional collaboration and communication by creating shared understanding and alignment, and serve as a leader to the team as we navigate uncertainty and change

Provide thought leadership to help drive improvements to R&D operating rhythm, and more broadly, company operating rhythm

What do we need from you?

10+ years of direct program management experience managing high-complexity, high-visibility, high-impact enterprise-wide programs

Demonstrated ability in leading programs across a wide range of business and technology-related topics from problem space definition to customer impact (bonus: strong understanding of SaaS technologies or demonstrated ability to collaborate with engineering teams on complex technology programs)

Ability to assimilate different points of view to create shared understanding across a broad spectrum of stakeholders

Exceptional leadership and communications skills

Proven ability to influence without authority, build trust, manage complexity and drive business results

Demonstrated experience managing programs in a remote-first environment; mastery of collaboration tooling administration and enablement (i.e., Jira, Confluence, Miro, etc.)

B.A. in a business or technical field; M.B.A., P.M.P, or comparable certification a plus

Authorized to work lawfully in the United States of America as Calendly does not engage in immigration sponsorship at this time
