CLEAR’s mission is to strengthen security and create frictionless experiences for consumers. We believe you are you and by using your biometrics - your fingerprints, eyes, and face - we keep you moving. Imagine a world where you can do virtually everything you need to – breeze through the airport, buy a beer at the game, check-in at the doctor’s office, access your office building, and more – without ever pulling out your wallet or phone. Now in 60+ airports and other venues nationwide, you are your ID, credit card, ticket, reservation and more with CLEAR.

We’re defining and leading an entirely new industry, obsessing over our customers, and investing in great people to lead the way. Recently named on CNBC’s Disruptor 50 List and winner of the SXSW Interactive Innovation Award, we're working tirelessly to create frictionless customer experiences for our 4.3+ million members across the country.

We are seeking an ambitious, adaptable, and eager Agile Program Manager to drive business-critical initiatives in our New Verticals space, supporting our Sports, Healthcare, Payments, and Enterprise & Identity roadmaps, while breaking into new business lines. This individual has a strong track record for execution and delivery of effective, highly-available, and flexible technology solutions in a hyper-growth fast-paced environment where priorities shift quickly.

As an Agile Program Manager, you will partner with Business, Product, and Engineering leadership to drive strategic roadmapping exercises in the New Verticals space while collaborating with teams to plan, execute, and validate technology initiatives. You will be a champion for your team and serve as an ambassador to the broader Technology organization. You will join and contribute to a rapidly growing community of Agile Program Managers who elevate CLEAR’s teams to operate to their fullest potential.

Ideal candidates should be able to demonstrate a sharp analytical perspective, strong negotiation, facilitation, and executive communication skills, ruthless prioritization chops and a persistent can-do attitude.

Experience scoping and delivering technology projects in an agile setting is required. Experience with compliance frameworks (PCI, HIPAA) is desired but not required for the right candidate.

• Be a champion for CLEAR’s values; advocate for trust, integrity and openness
• Lead continuous improvement by identifying and remediating cross-functional process gaps across your teams and the technology organization at large
• Ensure that CLEAR's processes and artifacts are helping us to deliver rapidly and with agility

Who You Are:

• Bachelor's Degree and 4-7+ years of relevant project/program management experience

• Strong analytical and project management skills with demonstrated ability to prioritize, track, and deliver results
• Able to influence and embed within multiple teams to achieve defined goals
• Must be able to help course correct continuously as new priorities and new information becomes available
