Technical Program Manager

Data & Engineering

Full Time

At Clever Digital Marketing, we are on a mission to empower large-scale home improvement companies by fueling their top-line revenue through innovative digital marketing strategies. By bridging the gap in the industry for a highly profitable digital lead vendor, we've created a unique space where growth isn't just supported - it's catalyzed.

Clever Digital Marketing delivers outcome-driven paid advertising and strategic advising solutions. We don't focus on clicks and impressions - we focus on net sales. Our customized, data-driven strategies are tailored to each client's unique needs, ensuring measurable impact and scalable profitability across Google, Meta, and Microsoft ad platforms.

Scale : Recognized by the Globe and Mail as the #1 Fastest-Growing Company in the Marketing & Advertising category and #42 across all of Canada, we are the growth engine behind some of North America's most ambitious home improvement brands - companies on track to generate over $500 million in combined revenue in 2026. With a team of 100+ across North America, $74M in digital ad spend managed, and 400,000+ leads generated, we've built something rare: a system where scale isn't luck. It's engineering.

Our commitment to authenticity, collaboration, and continuous improvement ensures we remain a powerhouse of growth and measurable results for every client we serve. Our Data & Technology group has outgrown informal coordination. The group spans the Data Integrations & Engineering teams (our GCP-native Data Platform 2.0 and Google/Meta/Bing ad platform integrations), IT Security, and Compliance - including our SOC 2 readiness program and IT Security Plan. These workstreams compete for the same small set of technical hands, and today there is no dedicated delivery owner. Priorities collide, dependencies surface late, and important-but-not-urgent security and compliance work slips behind feature delivery.

a superb communicator & hands-on builder who has run technical programs before , not someone who needs a playbook handed to them.

Delivery process, tracking, cadences, and risk management are yours to design and drive. What gets prioritized - roadmap and resourcing calls - you frame clearly for the leaders who decide. Build and maintain a single source of truth for status, dependencies, risks, and resourcing across data platform, integrations, IT security, and compliance workstreams

Run portfolio-level planning: sequence work across projects,



surface conflicts before they become fire drills, and keep leadership informed without meetings-as-status-reports

Own delivery of SOC 2 readiness: evidence collection, control implementation tasks, access reviews, vendor risk assessments, policy work, and audit milestones - coordinated with internal subject matter experts, our compliance partners, and auditors

Drive execution of the IT Security Plan: turn it into sequenced, owned, tracked work, and keep it moving alongside feature delivery competing for the same engineers

Run Right-Sized Agile Process

Adapt process to team size - we're a small, senior unit, not a 200-person scaled-agile org

Own delivery cadence for the technical team - planning, standups, retros, backlog hygiene - process that serves delivery, not ceremony for its own sake

Protect the team's focus: manage intake so mid-sprint asks get triaged, not silently absorbed

Architect how the technical portfolio runs in Asana: templates, custom fields, dependencies, and portfolio views that give leadership visibility without asking

Turn ad hoc requests from leadership, client services, and vendors into scoped, sequenced backlog items with effort, dependencies, and tradeoffs made explicit

Align internal stakeholders (client services, leadership, operations) and external parties (vendors, contractors, client-side technical contacts) on scope, timelines, and dependencies

Drive vendor- and contractor-delivered workstreams to completion: clear deliverables, tracked commitments, escalation before deadlines break

3+ years of program or project management for technical teams (data, software, platform, or IT/security work) with real delivery accountability - you've owned outcomes, not just tracked tickets

Exposure to security or compliance work (audits, access reviews, policy rollouts) - and you treat it as real delivery, not overhead

Working fluency in agile practices - enough to run the process well and enough judgment to know when to bend it

Technical literacy sufficient to be credible with engineers: you understand what a data pipeline is, why a schema change carries risk, what "blocked on API access" means,



and why an access request's scope matters - and you're honest about what you don't know

Exceptional written communication: status reporting, requirements, and decision framing are core deliverables of this role, not overhead

you take responsibility for whether work ships, not just whether the board is updated

you build the system, roll it out, and iterate; Exposure to cloud data platforms (GCP, BigQuery) or modern data engineering workflows

Product management exposure: Manage people - this is an individual contributor role with broad influence

Deliver hands-on engineering work - you'll be close to the technical work, but you won't write production code or SQL

Run client-facing account or campaign management

You know the state of every active workstream, where SOC 2 readiness and the IT Security Plan actually stand, and what you'll fix first.

The technical team's delivery cadence is running. SOC 2 and IT Security Plan work is sequenced, owned, and tracked against target dates. You present a view of what comes next - process, tooling, and risks.

An incredible team and culture - high-performance, feedback-oriented, and data-driven, where everyone is empowered to succeed. Be part of the #1 fastest-growing marketing company in Canada, redefining performance marketing for the home improvement industry

A modern, GCP-native stack with AI embedded in daily workflows - Claude and Gemini are tools you'll use every day, not novelties

Exposure to AI/NLQ, MMM modeling, and ML optimization layers as the proprietary platform matures

Fully remote work setting with the flexibility to work from anywhere in Canada

Comprehensive group benefits including health, dental, and vision

Company-provided MacBook Pro and home office budget to help you create your ideal workspace

A work abroad policy to support you when you need a fresh perspective

A defined growth path toward Senior Data Engineer for those who demonstrate consistent ownership, quality, and impact

Job-Type: Full-Time Permanent
