Avalara is transforming tax compliance into a seamless, automated digital experience. Within our Micro & Emerging Business unit, we are building a unified self-serve compliance platform for small merchants and lodging operators by bringing DAVO and MyLodgeTax together.
As a Senior Program Manager, you will lead the cross-functional operations of this flagship initiative. You will drive alignment, accountability, and execution across dedicated engineering teams, central platform groups, business development, billing systems, and shared services. Reporting to Evan Wright (VP & GM, SMB Business), this role gives you startup-style agility and scope backed by the data, customers, and infrastructure of an established global SaaS leader.
Lead program delivery. Own the integrated plan, milestones, and critical path for the DAVO and MyLodgeTax consolidation, including the platform rebuild, customer migration, and security and compliance deadlines.
Run the cross-team operating model. Set up operating rhythms, dependency maps, and clear service agreements with engineering, central platform, business development, filing operations, and corporate systems teams.
Drive billing and systems work. Coordinate roadmaps and delivery for card and ACH checkout, self-serve pricing and quoting, HubSpot, ERP integrations, and the APIs underneath them.
Align partner integrations. Coordinate timelines across POS and property-management integrations, marketplace apps, and integration partners so customers can sign up and onboard without talking to sales.
Give executives clear visibility. Build dashboards tracking self-serve conversion, support volume, and acquisition economics, and write decision memos that make trade-offs easy to act on.
Modernize how programs run. Use AI tools for status updates, risk detection, and documentation, and help CPMO turn what works here into playbooks for the rest of Avalara.
