Vice President Program Management Jobs in Portland, OR

About the Company

Cash has disappeared from most of our lives-but millions of vending machines, laundry rooms, car washes, amusement devices, and other self-service machines still rely on decades-old payment technology. That's a $45+ billion global market ready for transformation.

PayRange is leading that transformation.

Founded in 2015, PayRange has grown into one of the fastest-growing technology companies in North America. We've built the industry's leading fintech and mobile commerce platform, connecting millions of machines and processing more than a billion transactions through a seamless ecosystem of payments, software, hardware, and consumer experiences. Our technology powers businesses across North America, Europe, and Asia, and our rapid growth has earned us consistent year over year recognition as one of Deloitte's fastest-growing technology companies in North America.

Why This Role Is Different

Most VP of Marketing roles ask you to grow either a B2B business or a consumer brand. This role gives you the opportunity to build both.

PayRange operates a unique two-sided network. On one side, you'll accelerate growth with operators, enterprise customers, and strategic partners. On the other, you'll lead the strategy that grows one of the largest consumer commerce apps in unattended retail-driving adoption, engagement, loyalty, and brand affinity among millions of users.

As our next VP of Marketing, you'll own the entire growth engine across both sides of our business, creating a powerful flywheel where consumer adoption drives operator value, and operator growth expands the consumer network.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of a profitable, high-growth fintech company with proven product-market fit, category leadership, and significant runway ahead. If you've ever wanted to help build the next iconic commerce platform while leaving your mark on both a B2B SaaS business and a consumer brand, this is your chance.

What You'll Be Doing

As VP of Marketing, you'll drive growth across a unique two-sided network-acquiring and expanding operator customers while simultaneously building a consumer brand used by millions of people every day. You'll shape how we attract, engage, and retain businesses, while leading the strategy that grows adoption, loyalty, and awareness of our mobile app among consumers. There's no playbook in this role, you'll write it. You'll have the opportunity to shape our brand, build our growth engine, and directly influence the future of the company.

This is a role for a growth-minded marketing leader who thrives at the intersection of SaaS, fintech, marketplace, and consumer technology. You'll own the complete marketing strategy across both sides of our ecosystem, creating a flywheel where consumer adoption drives operator value, and operator growth fuels the consumer experience. You'll own the entire marketing engine, from strategy and positioning to pipeline generation and customer expansion. You'll partner closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to turn market opportunities into measurable business results.

As VP of Marketing, you will build and lead the development of a go-to-market motion and revenue engine and category-defining brand.Reporting to the CEO, this role owns the intersection of pipeline, brand, and narrative.

If you're excited by building category-defining brands, scaling revenue, and leading marketing across both B2B and B2C, this is a chance to make an outsized impact. If you're a builder who loves moving fast and creating marketing programs that directly impact revenue, this role is for you.

The Type of Person We're Looking For

We're looking for a builder and out-side-of the box thinker. Someone who thrives in high-growth environments, embraces ambiguity, and gets energized by creating what's next rather than maintaining what's already exists. You're equally comfortable setting long-term strategy and rolling up your sleeves to launch campaigns, analyze performance, and solve problems alongside your team.

This role isn't about following a proven formula; it's about creating one. You'll have the freedom to challenge conventional thinking, experiment boldly and build a world-class marketing organization that becomes the benchmark for others to follow.

You lead with conviction, move with urgency, and have a relentless focus on delivering measurable business outcomes. You're naturally curious, customer-obsessed, and energized by solving complex challenges. You're energized by opportunities where there is no playbook, where you can scale a high-growth B2B SaaS business, solidify a strong brand voice in the market, and build a consumer brand from the ground up.
