The Senior Technical Program Manager will lead cross-functional technical initiatives that are essential to delivering scalable, high-impact product outcomes. You’ll work closely with product managers, engineers, designers, and cross-functional stakeholders to architect, plan, and execute complex technical programs. This role requires a strong systems mindset and the ability to navigate ambiguity while structuring execution across multiple teams and technical domains.

  • Ensure stakeholder alignment and transparency: Drive communication across engineering, product, and business leaders, continuously integrating feedback to maximize program impact.
  • Manage risks and dependencies: Proactively identify technical risks, operational inefficiencies, and cross-team blockers, and drive resolution or trade-offs.
  • Implement scalable processes: Establish frameworks for reporting, retrospectives, and continuous improvement that increase both delivery reliability and engineering productivity.
  • Enhance developer experience (DX): Partner with engineering teams to streamline workflows, reduce friction, and improve developer velocity through automation, tooling, and process improvements.
  • 5+ years in technical program management and/or engineering operations within a high-performing technology org, ideally embedded in product and engineering.
  • Strong technical fluency: Understanding of SDLC, Agile methodologies, and experience with developer tools and workflows (e.g., Jira, Applause, CI/CD systems, DX platforms).
  • Proven success in scaling engineering operations: Implementing and managing tech stacks, tooling, and operational frameworks that improve delivery velocity and engineering productivity.
  • Proficiency in program management and collaboration tools (e.g., Jira, Asana, Coda, Trello), with an eye toward evaluating and evolving tooling as needs change.
  • Exceptional communicator and collaborator, able to align executives, engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders around program goals and trade-offs.
  • Organized and execution-focused, with the ability to juggle competing priorities, urgent requests, and high-volume operational tasks.
