Technical Program Manager Jobs in Maineville, OH

As a Technical Program Manager, you’ll work with stakeholders across the Data & Analytics organization and the broader business to drive a large-scale data platform migration from scoping and planning through completion. This program is consolidating legacy, ungoverned data environments into a single, modern, well governed data platform, and spans multiple engineering teams and workstreams delivered in parallel. You’ll bring structure and transparency to a program that today runs on top of engineering leadership’s technical workload. You’ll own the coordination layer end-to-end so technical leaders can stay focused on execution, and you’ll need to provide diplomatic, timely communication across teams operating in an agile environment with iterative planning and delivery cycles.

• Develop and maintain the program roadmap, drive milestones, identify and escalated cross-team dependencies, and manage the full program lifecycle from definition through close.
• Collaborate with multiple engineering and data teams to sequence work, track delivery against a phased migration plan, and drive execution of the roadmap across concept, development, and rollout.
• Enable effective communication and transparency between the program team, stakeholders, and leadership. Consolidate status reporting across workstreams and synthesize risks, issues, and dependencies, along with solution recommendations, for executive consumption.
• Organize and maintain a centralized repository of program and project information, including roadmaps, decisions, and status.
• Hold cross-functional teams accountable through influence. Resolve conflict through arbitration, negotiation, reasoned discussion, or escalation as needed.
• Maintain a program-level risk and issue log, proactively identify risks to ontime delivery, and drive mitigation plans before they affect the broader program.
• Streamline processes, simplify execution, and track progress against program goals and success criteria.

• Data Product and Engineering leadership to understand upcoming priorities and sequence workstreams accordingly.
• Engineering teams to understand technical dependencies, architecture decisions, and delivery constraints that affect the migration timeline.
• Data Governance to align on ownership, lineage, and quality standards for the newly consolidated platform as legacy systems are retired.
• Analytics team to understand reporting and consumption needs, ensuring migrated data models support existing dashboards and downstream analytics without disruption.
• Align with stakeholders across the business on cross-team dependencies, expectations, and issue resolution as legacy systems are retired and new data sources come online.
• Develop a working understanding of the software development lifecycle used by the data engineering teams, including the ability to proactively manage and mitigate risks to on-time delivery, define cut-over plans, and support teams in applying consistent agile practices.
• Lead change management efforts across affected teams, ensuring stakeholders are informed of upcoming schema, process, or workflow changes as legacy systems are retired and new data sources come online.

• 4+ years of program or project management experience, including experience managing complex technical initiatives involving multiple systems, integrations, or data platforms.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Management, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience managing programs delivered by distributed, cross-functional teams without direct reporting authority.
• Working knowledge of modern data platform concepts (such as cloud data warehousing and data transformation tools, including dbt), sufficient to engage credibly with data engineers on scope, dependencies, and architecture.
• Understanding of agile methodologies, metrics, and reporting techniques, with experience working across multiple teams or workstreams.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, and comfort presenting to both large and small groups, including executive audiences.
• Prior contract or consulting experience delivering a defined, time-boxed program is strongly preferred.

• Proven ability to build trust and drive alignment across multiple engineering and business teams without formal authority.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity, including establishing a program’s roadmap, cadence, and reporting structure from the ground up.
• Strong facilitation skills, able to keep cross-functional meetings focused and drive decisions to closure rather than just tracking status.
• Ability to engage credibly with engineers on technical scope and risk, then translate that into clear, business-relevant language for executive audiences.
• A bias toward action and pragmatism, balancing process rigor with the need to keep delivery moving.
• Track record of earning trust with skeptical or change-resistant stakeholders during a large-scale system transition or platform migration.
• Strong documentation habits and the discipline to maintain a consistent, transparent reporting rhythm across a multi-team program.
• A data-driven mindset, with experience defining and tracking KPIs or OKRs to measure program health and progress.
• Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to get ahead of risks before they affect delivery.
• Resilience and follow-through on a long-running program where priorities and dependencies shift over time.
• Comfort holding teams accountable to commitments through influence rather than authority.

• PMP, CSM, SAFe, or equivalent project or agile certification.
• Experience with tools such as Jira, Confluence, Smartsheets, or similar program and project planning and tracking platforms.
• Prior experience in a data engineering, analytics, or technical product role.
• Experience supporting a legacy system retirement or platform migration initiative.
