About the Job

The Director of Business Development Program Management will play a critical role as we mature and scale the Business Development function. While our BD Partner Leads focus on identifying and structuring new partner opportunities, you will assist them with the end-to-end execution, operationalization, and long-term success of those partnerships, along with the associated Partner Program in aggregate.

This is a unique, hybrid leadership role that requires the strategic mind of a Product Manager, the external mindset of a Marketing Manager, the technical rigor of a Technical Program Manager, and the process-driven mindset of an Operations leader. You will sit at the center of our most complex partnerships – ensuring that every signed agreement results in a successful win-win partnership. You will architect the frameworks and motions that enable our BD team to interface seamlessly with Product, Engineering, and Design – transforming ambitious ideas into high-impact realities.

The US-based salary range for this position is $178,500 to $261,500. We take into consideration an individual's background and experience in determining final salary - therefore, base pay offered may vary considerably depending on geographic location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The compensation package includes a wide range of medical, dental, vision, financial, and other benefits, as well as equity.

What You’ll Do

  • Architect BD Operations: Assist in building and scaling a high-performing business development function. Collaborate with key stakeholders to design and roll out the internal processes, playbooks, service levels, templates, systems, etc., to assess, negotiate, close, track, and manage the performance of Life360 partnerships. 
  • Cross-Functional Scoping and Opportunity Assessment: Partner with BD Leads and key stakeholders to scope and assess incoming partner opportunities, including business cases, prioritization frameworks, and performance targets. 
  • End-to-End Deal Execution and Stakeholder Orchestration: Lead the program management of complex deals from mid-stage negotiation through to final closing – ensuring the right stakeholders are in the room, decision-making is streamlined, and key risks are identified and mitigated.
  • Post-Signing Integration & Delivery: Act as the primary lead for post-deal (non-technical) integration, alongside the BD Leads and the Technical Program Manager. Assist in translating contractual milestones into actionable workstreams to ensure teams are resourced and timelines are met. Conduct regular partnership reviews, including performance assessments at both a partner and program level.
  • Launch an External Facing Partner Program: Design, roll out, and scale our Partner Program in collaboration with key stakeholders – accelerating Life360’s value proposition to both users and partners. 

What We’re Looking For

  • 10+ years of experience in Business Development Program Management and/or Operations. Experience in Technical Program Management and/or Product Management is also valued. Vertical focus within a high-growth consumer tech/mobile or hardware/software ecosystem is preferred.
  • The "Hybrid" Skillset: You have a proven track record of managing complex projects that involve technical integrations, product roadmaps, and external partner management.
  • Process Architect: You don't just follow playbooks; you build them. You have experience creating operational frameworks from scratch that improve efficiency and cross-functional harmony.
  • Technical Fluency: You are comfortable speaking with engineers, designers, and technical program managers about APIs, SDKs, and UI flows, can recognize risks, and can translate those technical needs into business impact for stakeholders.
  • Strategic Executioner: You can zoom out to see the 30,000-foot strategic goal and also zoom in to manage the granular milestones of a contract.
  • High Influence, Low Ego: You are an expert at leading through influence, navigating ambiguity, and bringing disparate teams together to achieve a common goal.

Our Benefits

  • Competitive pay and benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
  • 401(k) plan with company matching program
  • Mental Wellness Program & Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Flexible PTO, 13 company-wide days off, and paid Holiday Shutdown
  • Learning & Development programs
  • Equipment, tools, and reimbursement support for a remote environment
  • Free Life360 Platinum Membership and Free Tile products

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
