About Faire

Faire is an online wholesale marketplace built on the belief that the future is local — independent retailers around the globe are doing more revenue than Walmart and Amazon combined, but individually, they are small compared to these massive entities. At Faire, we’re using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town — we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe we can level the playing field so that small businesses everywhere can compete with these big box and e-commerce giants.

By supporting the growth of independent businesses, Faire is driving positive economic impact in local communities, globally. We’re looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours.

About this role

This role requires strong technical aptitude, systems thinking, and the ability to quickly understand new domains to guide teams toward successful outcomes.

What you’ll do

  • Lead high-impact, cross-functional programs that span multiple technical and business areas—from planning through delivery.
  • Partner with engineering and product leadership to define goals, milestones, and success metrics aligned with company priorities.

  • Establish and evolve scalable program management practices that increase delivery speed and quality.

Contribute to strategic planning and prioritization through data-driven insights and structured execution frameworks.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of relevant technical program or project management experience driving cross-functional initiatives in software or platform engineering environments.
  • Proven track record delivering large-scale, complex programs with measurable business outcomes.
  • Strong technical fluency and ability to quickly understand new systems, architectures, and problem spaces.
  • Excellent communication and influencing skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Highly organized, execution-oriented, and skilled at bringing clarity and alignment to ambiguity.
  • Salary range : Canada : the pay range for this role is $156,000 - $214,500 per year.

    This role will also be eligible for equity and benefits. Actual base pay will be determined based on permissible factors such as transferable skills, work experience, market demands, and primary work location. The base pay range provided is subject to change and may be modified in the future.

    Hybrid Faire employees currently go into the office 2 days per week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Effective starting in January 2026, employees will be expected to go into the office on a third flex day of their choosing (Monday, Wednesday, or Friday).
