Remote Technical Program Manager Jobs in Kansas (NOW HIRING)

About the Role

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM), at NinjaOne you will be the owner who drives critical engineering initiatives that need collaboration across multiple engineering and product teams. Join a newly formed team, where you can use your blend of technical curiosity, organizational skills, and project management. You will manage complex, multi-threaded projects from concept to delivery, ensuring that technical dependencies are mapped, risks are mitigated, and stakeholders are kept informed through high-signal reporting. You are responsible for the success of each program, setting and managing expectations within the working group and the leadership.

Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NC, NY, OR, TN, TX, VA, OH and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.

We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt: NinjaOne is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres; supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS.  Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you, as will experience moving workloads to and between cloud platforms. 

What You’ll be Doing

• Outline Program Goals: outline goals for an engineering initiative and build alignment and shared vision within the working group to achieve the program outcomes and deliverables.  Partner with Engineering leaders to understand constraints and translate them into requirements or plan workarounds that are acceptable.
• Cross-Team Coordination and Collaboration: work with multi-disciplinary software engineering teams through continuous coordination, weekly reviews, status check points.  Understanding the end-to-end cycle of product delivery and collaborate with multiple leaders and teams including Development, Quality Assurance, Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps and Senior Leadership. 
• Project Management: build and maintain comprehensive project plans including tasks dependency charts and risk register. Manage multiple concurrent workstreams without losing sight of the critical path.  Build a rhythm of reporting project statuses in the form of Executive Summaries and Detailed Status to the working groups.
• Measurement and Instrumentation: define what "great" looks like for a program and make it measurable. Establish baselines, instrument delivery and quality signals, and use them to surface problems early rather than to narrate progress. 
• Risk & Stakeholder Management: identify potential bottlenecks and program risks early, including technical, resources and other factors that can impact the outcome of a program. You are responsible for mitigation strategies and provide transparent reporting to senior leadership.  Conduct simple audits, checkpoints, and milestone reviews to assess risk.
• Change management: expect and manage change through impact assessment, communications and driving decisions.
• Influencing and Conflict Resolution: Build strong, trust-based relationships across the organization.  Understand our ecosystem, influence decisions, and advise decision makers to help the project success. Build consensus and shared vision by bringing options to the table.  Navigate healthy conflict and drive consensus to keep the program moving forward.
