About The Position
As Principal Technical Program Manager, you will be the connective tissue of our most critical initiatives. You will sit at the center of our highest-visibility programs, helping software development, hardware engineering, and external partners work together as a single, coherent team. Your goal is to ensure hardware constraints inform software plans and that our leadership always has a clear, data-driven view of how we are progressing. If successful, you will define the "operating system" for how complex programs run at LVT and help us grow a broader TPM team. This is a foundational hire. You aren't just joining a project; you are defining how LVT executes its most important work. We value diverse backgrounds and perspectives, and we encourage you to apply even if you don't feel you meet every single qualification listed. If you are excited by the idea of building a function from the ground up, we want to hear from you.
