About the Role

Justworks is looking for a Strategic Partnerships Program Manager to help turn our most important partnerships into scalable, successful growth opportunities.

Sitting within Revenue Strategy, this individual contributor role will work closely with our Partnerships and Business Development teams to translate complex partnership opportunities into coordinated execution plans and measurable business outcomes.

Bringing a partnership to life often requires many parts of the business to move together—from designing the customer journey and go-to-market motion to enabling product and technology capabilities, operational processes, financial models, marketing programs, and reporting. You will serve as the cross-functional quarterback for these initiatives, connecting the strategy and commercial intent of a partnership with the teams and capabilities required to successfully launch it.

We’re looking for someone who combines strong strategic thinking and commercial instincts with exceptional project management and cross-functional leadership. You can take an ambiguous, complex opportunity, break it into a clear plan, anticipate what could get in the way, and drive a diverse group of stakeholders toward a shared outcome.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the cross-functional quarterback for high-priority partnership initiatives, driving execution from deal development and agreement through launch and stabilization.
• Partner closely with Partnerships and Business Development leaders to understand the strategic and commercial objectives of each opportunity and translate them into clear execution plans.
• Build and manage comprehensive project plans across multiple workstreams, establishing owners, milestones, dependencies, decision points, risks, and success measures.
• Drive coordinated execution across the teams required to bring each partnership to life, creating clarity on responsibilities and holding stakeholders accountable to commitments and timelines.
• Anticipate dependencies and risks, remove blockers, and drive the decisions and tradeoffs required to keep initiatives moving.
• Connect decisions
