About Priority Commerce:
Our vision in Product & Technology is to engineer the world's most resilient, AI-native financial ecosystem that empowers businesses to transcend table-stakes and lead the Agentic future, where every financial transaction is intelligent, every developer is accelerated, and every experience is unified.
At Priority Commerce, we are building the Priority Commerce Engine, a unified platform that enables businesses to collect money, store money, lend money, move money, and build modern commerce experiences at scale.
About the Role:
Senior Managers at Priority Commerce lead a mix: you manage other managers (Managers or Team Leads, or both), and you often continue to manage one or more teams and their engineers directly yourself. Managing other managers is what makes this level distinct from Manager — it's the point where indirection becomes a real mode of leadership alongside the direct management you may continue to do.
The scale you cover is multiple teams within an area, and the newly-yours craft is making those teams perform consistently — through the leaders you develop and the standards you hold across the scope.
Your leverage flows through both modes — the leaders you grow and the team(s) you run directly. The cross-team work — making standards hold, making cross-team commitments stick, making the slowest team get help instead of blame — is the part that's newly yours. You'll also pick up the keyboard when the work genuinely calls for it; the day-to-day craft, though, is making multiple teams move together as a unit.
You own three bars across the teams in your scope: the hiring bar — kept consistent across teams so every hire raises the bar where it lands; the performance bar — held for the engineers you directly manage and for the leaders under you, with the same honesty and the same early intervention; the culture bar — built deliberately on every team you cover, not assumed to propagate.
You own the area's business, customer, and OKR/KPI alignment across your teams — in partnership with your peers at this level in Product Design and Product Management. You and your Product Design and Product Management peers at the multi-team scope are the area's leadership trio. Together you make sure the area's OKRs and KPIs ladder up coherently across teams and up to the workstream, and that the "why" behind the work is consistent across teams.
Business fluency doesn't slip when it isn't you in the room — the Managers and Team Leads under you carry the trio partnership at team level the way you carry it at the multi-team level, because that's the standard you set and hold.
You and the Staff (or Senior Staff) Software Engineers — or Software Architects — across the area's teams share accountability for those teams' customer and business outcomes. You lead through delivery, the people, the organization of the teams, and the partnerships with those Staff+ engineers needed to move those outcomes. They lead through architecture, technical direction, and engineering excellence within their teams.
Multiple interlocking partnerships across the area — and those teams need them all to work.
You run the semi-annual Skills & Knowledge Assessment for the engineers you directly manage; you oversee the Managers under you running it for their reports. Scores roll up into the workstream Engineering Maturity Model (EMM) score. Consistency of the assessment bar across teams is your job — Managers under you don't…
