Duration: 6 months
 
Salary Range: $55.00 - $58.00/Hour on W2 (Without Benefits).

Job Description:
  • We are seeking an experienced Strategic Partner & Vendor Program Manager to lead complex, partner-facing technology initiatives at the intersection of digital authentication, access control (e.g., smart mobility, corporate facilities, digital wallet keys), and fintech/payments with 7+ years in Program Management.
  • In this role, the candidate will be the primary liaison between external strategic partners/vendors and internal cross-functional engineering, product, and compliance teams.
  • The candidate will drive multi-year programs from partner onboarding and commercial agreement through technical integration, security compliance, and global market rollout.
1. Strategic Partner & Vendor Management:
  • Act as the single point of contact (SPOC) for key global technology partners, hardware vendors, and service providers.
  • Manage vendor lifecycle end-to-end: participate in contract scoping, SLA definitions, vendor performance reviews, and financial approvals/invoicing.
  • Identify cost-saving opportunities and negotiate service contracts while preserving deliverable quality and delivery speed.
2. Cross-Functional Program Delivery:
  • Lead end-to-end delivery of complex technical integrations involving hardware, firmware, mobile SDKs, digital identity, access control, and payment protocols.
  • Orchestrate work across globally distributed teams (Product, Engineering, QA, InfoSec, Legal, Operations, and external partner teams).
  • Define program roadmaps, work breakdown structures (WBS), risk registers, and critical path schedules across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid frameworks.
3. Technical Integration & Product Expansion:
  • Translate complex business, security, and cryptographic/authentication requirements into actionable technical milestones for partners.
  • Drive technical enablement and onboarding to ensure partner systems meet strict security, latency, and user experience (UX) criteria (e.g., Apple Wallet/NFC access, biometric/PKI auth, ISO/compliance standards).
  • Coordinate pilot testing, field validations (e.g., smart mobility/scooters, facility turnstiles, readers), and full-scale commercial launches.
4. Governance, Compliance & Reporting:
  • Establish operational frameworks, KPI dashboards, and quality gates to monitor partner SLA adherence and integration health.
  • Lead steering committee reviews and executive briefings, distilling technical blockers into concise, data-backed decisions.
  • Ensure all partner integrations comply with industry-specific security, regulatory, and data privacy mandates.
