Stefanini Group is hiring!

Stefanini is looking for a Technical Program Manager, Dearborn, MI

For quick apply, please reach out to Parul Singh at 248-582-6481/parul.singh@stefanini.com

We are seeking an Engineering Program Manager (EPM), someone who brings structure to ambiguity and drives delivery clarity across teams. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, build strong partnerships with engineering and program leaders, and ensure work is prioritized and executed with discipline. You are comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical levels: shaping what should be worked on, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring delivery plans, risks, and dependencies are visible and actively managed. You communicate crisply by writing clear leadership updates and facilitating alignment when tradeoffs are required.

Responsibilities

• Help drive the “system of delivery” and ensure the domain's work is focused on the most important outcomes, aligned to VC&M strategy, and planned and governed consistently.
• Establish structures and mechanisms that enable predictable delivery, including backlog structure, planning artifacts, governance cadence, and reporting hygiene.
• Challenge and de-prioritize work that does not support the strategy or agreed priorities, in partnership with the Technical Program Manager (TPM), Product, and VC&M leadership.
• Co-own the domain backlog structure, PI planning, and domain delivery plan, including scope, milestones, and dependencies, within the strategic framework established by TPMs and leadership.
• Prioritize work within the domain, with Engineering Manager input, to ensure capacity is focused on the highest-value work.
• Drive clarity for cross-team sequencing and integration planning so commitments are realistic and well understood.
• Maintain accurate internal risk and dependency registers; actively drive resolution, mitigation plans, and escalation paths.
• Keep Atlassian artifacts and dashboards up to date so domain and program status is trustworthy and comparable across VC&M.
• Provide clear and timely communications to stakeholders regarding progress, risks, and changes.
• Ensure work has clear acceptance criteria and a defined value or outcome.
• At completion, validate with Engineering and TPMs whether acceptance criteria were met and whether the intended value was delivered.
• Participate in and provide key inputs to the cross-functional work intake discovery process; cascade relevant context to all impacted functions within the domain.
• Apply and help evolve common VC&M standards for discovery, planning, and delivery.
• Ensure the domain “plugs into” the broader VC&M operating model using shared templates and cadences.

Experience Required

• 4 years in IT, Expert-level Project/Program Management experience
• Technical Communication : Translate a complex platform migration plan, such as EKS to GCP, into a one-page executive summary that highlights the timeline, risks, and decisions needed without requiring the audience to understand the underlying infrastructure.
• Conflict Management : Mediate a priority disagreement between Product and Engineering by facilitating a data-driven tradeoff discussion that results in a mutually agreed split between new feature work and technical-debt reduction.
• Project Management : Identify a critical-path dependency between three teams mid-PI, escalate it with a clear impact assessment, and coordinate a re-sequencing plan that keeps the overall launch date intact.
• Program Management : Orchestrate end-to-end PI planning across multiple teams by running capacity analysis, facilitating the planning event, negotiating cross-team dependencies, and publishing a committed plan with tiered objectives.
• Project Planning : Build an integrated delivery timeline for a feature spanning multiple teams or areas. Identify the critical path, buffer handoff points, and align each team's sprint cadence to avoid idle time between dependent deliverables.
• Jira : Enforce backlog hygiene across multiple teams by ensuring every epic has acceptance criteria, a target PI, an assigned owner, and properly linked stories. Use advanced JQL queries and automation rules to flag stale issues, identify unlinked work items, and prevent status transitions without required fields so dashboards remain trustworthy and leadership reporting does not require manual cleanup.
• Agile Software Development : Track predictability metrics, such as say/do ratio, carry-over percentage, and capacity allocations, across PIs. Use retrospective data to make concrete planning adjustments that measurably improve commitment accuracy.
