About the Role
The Senior Program Manager leads delivery for Bonterra’s Community Violence Intervention (CVI) and public safety program, driving product execution, delivery discipline, stakeholder alignment, and customer outcomes. This role directs a matrixed team – including Advanced Support Consultants (ASCs), Implementation Consultants, and Project Managers – and coordinates cross functional partners to ensure clear ownership, timely execution, and risk management across all workstreams.
This role is organized around three core delivery areas:
Program Delivery & Stakeholder Management: Building and maintaining delivery structure, cadence, and accountability across a complex stakeholder ecosystem – spanning Bonterra, government agencies, community partners, coalition partners, and internal cross-functional teams.
Technology Execution: Coordinating delivery of Bonterra’s Apricot-based technology that supports a CVI model, including implementation milestones, product dependencies, data workflows, reporting needs, and roadmap commitments.
Technology Adoption & Technical Assistance: Supporting agencies, community leaders, and program partners in implementing and adopting the technology, data practices, and operating workflows that enable the CVI model.
The Senior Program Manager will work directly with national CVI leaders and Bonterra's Strategic Initiatives Director to advance program goals.
Internally, this role collaborates cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Professional Services, Customer Success, and Account Management teams to track milestones, manage risk, and drive sustained customer outcomes.
