ph3Who we are: /h3pAt Rover, pets and their people are at the heart of everything we do. We connect pet parents with trusted pet care across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. /ppHeadquartered in Seattle and Barcelona, we’re a values driven, fast-growing tech company focused on building safe and personalized experiences tailored to the needs of each unique pet. We’re investing in AI as a business accelerator and provide every team member access to AI tools in service of creating better experiences for our community. /ppWe are proud to be recognized as a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. At Rover we’re committed to creating an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community, which starts with our employees. /ppWant to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us. /ph3Who We’re Looking For: /h3pRover's portfolio of pet care brands spans the globe — and as we acquire and grow those brands, someone has to make each integration real: migrating the systems, aligning the roadmaps, and shaping the experiences that make a brand feel right for its market. /ppThat's your work. You'll join Rover's Technical Program Management team, a small and growing function that sits at the center of how engineering delivers complex, cross-functional work. TPMs here own how programs get executed, drive alignment across organizational boundaries, and bring structured thinking to the hardest problems on the roadmap — all in service of better experiences for the pet parents and sitters who depend on our platform every day. /ppYour focus is Partnerships and Integrations: standing up new brand experiences and folding acquired businesses into the Rover ecosystem, like our integration of Cat in the Flat. The work spans technical migration, go-live coordination, and the feature build that makes each brand right for its users — some of which becomes core Rover functionality, and some of which stays specific to that brand's market. You'll partner closely with engineering, product, and business teams across our Barcelona and Seattle offices to define the integration strategy and product direction, bring clarity to ambiguous problems, sequence the work, manage dependencies, and surface risk before it becomes a problem. /ppYou'll bring the technical judgment to be a true peer to engineering — not just to follow the architecture, but to question it: reading a dependency chain, weighing trade-offs, and finding the sequencing risk others miss. Pushing through the ambiguity of needs that comes with integrations, to ensure the right value is being realized and plans set. And you won't just run a playbook; you'll help write it, turning each program into repeatable patterns that make the next one sharper. /ppThat extends to how you use AI. We're looking for someone who's gone past automating the obvious — status reports, risk tracking — and is thinking about where these tools change the work more fundamentally: untangling dependencies across a messy integration, catching risk earlier in the signal, opening up new ways for distributed teams to collaborate.
What matters isn't how many tools you've tried; it's your point of view on where they create real leverage. /ppThis is a role for someone who does their best work in ambiguity, moves easily across teams and time zones, and brings order to complexity without adding bureaucracy. /pp*This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Barcelona Office in the Poblenou neighborhood two days per week on Mondays and Thursdays. For this reason, candidates must be based in Barcelona or willing to relocate.* /ph3Your Responsibilities: /h3ulliOwn the implementation and execution strategy for one or more branded or data integration programs — reconciling ambiguity, turning vision and priorities into a coherent plan, and making the sequencing calls that determine how the work comes together across Rover /liliDrive that plan through to delivery and acceptance — across technical migration, product alignment, operational readiness, and go-live — keeping the program moving from first scope to final cutover, ensuring intended outcomes are realized. Be the point of alignment across engineering, product, and business: keeping priorities cohesive, surfacing where they conflict, and getting teams to a shared path forward. /liliLead the technical integration alongside engineering: API dependencies, data integrity, identity and authentication, and cutover planning — sequencing the work and pressure-testing timelines before they slip. /liliBuild and maintain the artifacts that keep a program legible: charters, project plans, dependency maps, risk registers, and executive-facing status communications. /liliDefine and report the KPIs that tell teams whether a program is healthy — so risk surfaces early and progress is easy to communicate with confidence. /liliOwn go-live readiness, making sure everyone from engineering leads to executive sponsors has the information and confidence to move forward, and escape with clarity and context when something's at risk. /liliBe the connective tissue between our Barcelona and Seattle teams, and contribute to Rover's integration playbook so each program runs better than the last. /li /ulh3Your Qualifications: /h3ulli8+ years driving complex, cross-functional technical programs, ideally at a marketplace, consumer tech, or SaaS company. /liliA track record of owning high-complexity, ambiguous programs end to end - scoping and implementation strategy through delivery and retrospective - and defining a path forward when one doesn't yet exist. /liliExperience leading system integrations and technical migrations: API dependencies, data integrity, identity and authentication, and cutover planning, with the technical depth to assess risk and sequence work as a peer to engineering. /liliThe judgement to know where to push for expediency - whether that means making a recommendation, driving alignment, or identifying the appropriate decision maker. /liliThe technical acumen to read a dependency chain,
ask engineering the right questions, and find where the real sequencing risk lives, architectural patterns need evolution, or where we’re choosing one-way doors. /liliExperience defining and delivering market-specific features with product and engineering — including driving the call on what belongs in a shared platform versus a single brand to a clear decision. /liliStrong program management instincts: you can stand up a plan and a status process, communicate to technical and non-technical audiences alike, and keep things on track without bureaucracy getting in the way. /liliA data-driven approach to measuring success, using metrics to track progress, surface risk, and inform decisions throughout a program's life. /liliA habit of pushing AI tools further in your work: automating repetitive tasks like status reporting or risk tracking, building custom workflows, or creating frameworks that help teams move faster. /li /ulpYou won't check every box on this list, and that's okay — if most of it sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you. /ph3Nice to Have: /h3ulliHands-on post-acquisition or post-merger integration experience. /liliFamiliarity with marketplace or multi-brand platform architectures, and the platform-versus-brand trade-offs that come with them. /liliA track record of contributing to how the TPM discipline works, not just executing within it — improving process, cadence, and craft as you go. /liliExperience working across European and US teams in a globally distributed organization. /li /ulh3Benefits of Working at Rover.com: /h3ulliLong-term incentive plan with a company performance-based cash payout /liliPension plan /liliPrivate medical insurance /lili25 days PTO /liliMeal allowance and versátil compensation plan (transport and nursery) /liliGym membership /lili€450 to cover the costs associated with the adoption of a pet /liliAnnual €150 wellness reimbursement /liliFlexible work hours, sometimes you'll need to be in at certain times, but on the whole, we're pretty flexible when it comes to managing workload and time /liliGrab snacks, fresh fruit, in our kitchen to keep yourself going /liliRegular team activities, events, game nights, and more /liliDog-friendly office /li /ulh3Compensation: /h3ulliIn the greater Barcelona area the first-year salary range is €68,994 - €83,630. Additionally, Rover offers a long-term incentive plan with a company performance-based cash payout and benefits to full-time employees. /liliThe cash compensation offered for this role will be dependent on the candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, and abilities as demonstrated in the interview and hiring process. /li /ulpRover is an equal-opportunity employer committed to promoting a diverse, inclusive, and inventive environment with the best employees.
