Program Manager (Contract)

Contract Position (LatAm)

Over the past several years, Able has grown immeasurably. We’ve also grown in the type of company that we are:

Chapter 1: We were founded in 2013 as a product and engineering hub for a portfolio of early-stage start-ups. We grew up as an in-house/external hybrid shared services model. That allowed us to hone our skills and establish our operational and cultural foundation.

Chapter 2: In 2019 we began to expand our vision. We started growing beyond our initial partner base, building new relationships and delivering high-value work across different industries.

Chapter 3: In 2023, we entered the next phase of our growth. Our strategy centers around two audiences:

• Venture Capital firms looking for trusted product and technology solutions that scale across portfolios.
• Private Equity firms seeking to accelerate value creation across their portfolio companies.

Chapter 3a: We are now fully aligned to our mission and vision, fueled by the transformative power of applied AI. We believe AI will significantly accelerate the end-to-end software development lifecycle. By combining world-class talent and emerging practices, we help our partners dramatically increase their product organization’s capacity and impact.

Able is seeking a remote full-time Program Manager in the role of Partner Lead to join our growing team. In this role, you’ll be the cornerstone of our client partnerships: leading cross-functional software development programs and ensuring project excellence from strategy to execution.

You’ll manage complex partner relationships, own delivery, and bring a deep understanding of product and engineering workflows to the table. As a Partner Lead, you’re not just delivering projects — you’re helping our partners build better products and scale effectively.

You’ll work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and stakeholders at all levels to ensure the success of each engagement.

• Lead and manage partner relationships, aligning their business goals with Able’s delivery excellence
• Serve as the primary point of contact for partner engagement, communication, and strategic alignment

• Translate business priorities into actionable workstreams across engineering and product teams
• Collaborate with engineers and product managers to shape and ship solutions that deliver real impact
• Manage financial health, scope, schedules, risk, team utilization, and partner expectations
• Anticipate and resolve issues, blockers, and delivery risks before they become critical
• Contribute to the continuous evolution of our delivery practices and internal team growth
• Use data-driven insights and key performance indicators to drive partner success
• Act as a coach and support system for cross-functional team members to ensure alignment and unblock issues
• Promote Agile, Lean, and Continuous Development best practices

• 10+ years of experience in program and project management at a digital agency or growth-stage technology company
• A proven ability to manage complex client relationships and navigate organizational dynamics
• Experience working on projects with 0-1 builds
• Experience overseeing multiple projects simultaneously within a single partner account
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle and delivery methodologies (Agile, Lean)
• Experience collaborating closely with engineering and product teams
• Demonstrated success setting and maintaining standards for program management across workgroups
• Experience mentoring or managing project managers on related workstreams
• Excellent problem-solving skills and comfort operating in ambiguity
• Strong communication, organization, and leadership skills
• Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, Asana, or similar project management software
• Very strong written and verbal communication skills in English  

This is a six (6)-month contract position, with an anticipated start date in mid-July. The role is remote and open to candidates who are legally entitled to work within LatAm.  

• Put People First: We're caring, open, and encouraging.  We respect the richness that we each bring into our work.
• Imagine Better: We are optimistic in our outlook, as well as creative and proactive to deliver the highest quality.
• Expect Excellence: We commit to each other to always strive to be our best.
• Simplify to Solve: We create better outcomes by reducing complexity.
