About The Role

Join one of the leading global technology companies as a Senior Product Manager, based in our brand-new Auckland CBD office.

Reporting directly to the Snr Director of Product, as a Senior Product Manager (Snr PM1) at Pushpay, you will own outcomes within a defined product charter across Donor Management, Church Management (ChMS), Integrations, Apps, or Partnerships.

This role is hands-on, with strong ownership of features and delivery, while building the skills for broader strategic influence.
