  • Program Leadership
    • Own end-to-end delivery for large, cross-team initiatives, ensuring alignment from planning through release
    • Manage cross-team dependencies, identify execution risks early, and drive mitigation plans
  • Executive Communication
    • Deliver concise executive updates focused on decisions, tradeoffs, and business impact
    • Provide recommendations and not just status reports
  • Technical Partnership
    • Engage with engineering teams to understand system architecture, constraints, and tradeoffs and challenge technical assumptions while respecting engineering ownership

Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated ability to:
    • Identify organizational problems, not just program problems
    • Design mechanisms that improve execution at scale
    • Influence engineering managers, product leaders, and executives without direct authority
  • 10+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Engineering Program Management, or similar roles
  • Demonstrated experience leading large-scale, cross-team technical programs (5+ teams)
  • Strong technical background (engineering, architecture, or equivalent experience)
  • Deep understanding of software development lifecycle, system design, and architecture concepts
  • Proven ability to manage dependencies, risks, and complex delivery environments
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
