Requirements

5+ years of leadership experience in Release Management, Program Management, QA and/or Product Operations within SaaS organizations, with a proven ability to set clear expectations, hold teams accountable, and maintain a consistently high bar for impact.
Demonstrated success as a player-coach—balancing team leadership with hands-on ownership of key initiatives.
Strong track record of executing complex, cross-functional programs from alignment through launch.

Experience with program management and incident management tools (e.g., Linear, PagerDuty).
A bias for action in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
Customer obsession.
AI fluency and a growth mindset toward agentic workflows — comfort using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot, or Cursor) to accelerate research, synthesis, communication, and execution, and a demonstrated ability to identify where automation can meaningfully improve team output.

Act as a connector across business, product and technical teams, creating alignment on roles, responsibilities, and readiness for every stage of build and launch.
Prepare release notes so that our cross-functional partners experience no surprises—because we’ve over-communicated, and they fully understand what we’re doing and why.
Define how we measure release success, evaluate outcomes, and use insights to refine future launches.
Partner with EPD leaders to identify where Technical Program Managers can add the most value—whether by driving key strategic initiatives, coordinating complex cross-group work, or ensuring execution against business-critical priorities.
Oversee program management for critical customer accounts, coordinating across Engineering, Product, and Design, and partnering with Client Ops and Sales to deliver delightful early customer experiences.
Identify bottlenecks, streamline workflows, and strengthen how Wrapbook aligns, builds, and launches.
Model and promote AI fluency across the TPM team, QA process, and EPD org.
