The Justworks Technology Strategy & Operations team helps our Product, Engineering, Design, and Data organizations operate as a connected, high-performing Technology Division. We work across teams and organizational boundaries to connect business strategy with Technology priorities, strengthen how leaders plan and make decisions, and build the systems that enable effective execution as Justworks scales.
Our team operates at the intersection of strategy, technology, and organizational operations. We partner closely with Technology leadership to improve organizational performance, align resources with priorities, and create the clarity and accountability needed to deliver meaningful business outcomes.
As the Senior Manager, Technology Strategy & Planning, you'll play a critical role in shaping how Justworks' Technology Division plans, operates, and delivers against its strategic priorities. Reporting to the Head of Technology Strategy & Operations, you'll lead the planning processes, operating mechanisms, and cross-functional initiatives that connect our Product, Engineering, Design, and Data organizations.
You'll partner closely with senior Technology leaders to translate strategic objectives into organizational plans, evaluate priorities and resource tradeoffs, and improve visibility into performance and execution. You'll develop a deep understanding of our Product and Engineering organizations, including their roadmaps, technical investments, operating models, and organizational constraints, to help leaders make informed decisions about where and how we invest.
This is a hands-on leadership role that requires both strategic judgment and operational depth. You'll independently identify organizational challenges, develop recommendations, and drive meaningful improvements to how Technology operates. You'll be responsible for building and continuously evolving the systems that enable effective planning, decision-making, and accountability across the division.
Success in this role means going beyond managing processes or reporting on progress. You'll be expected to challenge assumptions, connect information across teams, anticipate organizational needs, and create durable solutions that help Technology operate more effectively as the business grows.
The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $188,000.00 - $242,000.00 per year.
Actual compensation is based on multiple factors that are unique to each candidate, including and not limited to skill set, level of relevant experience, and specific work location. Salary ranges for positions based in other locations may differ based on the cost of labor in that location.

Justworks runs payroll and HR software for small businesses, combining routine workforce administration with access to group health insurance. Its PEO service co-employs customer workers, taking on specified payroll, tax and benefits responsibilities while customers manage their teams. Businesses also buy payroll software separately, with tools for employee onboarding, timecards, paid time off, contractor and vendor payments, and storing employment documents. The platform connects to accounting software, and customers pay monthly subscriptions priced by employee count and selected plan. Justworks was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in New York City.
