Chronosphere - Professional Services Project Manager

Palo Alto Networks • Baltimore, MD

1d • $120,000 - $165,000 • Remote

About The Position

As the sole Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Chronosphere, you will step into a highly visible, customer-facing role within our Customer Success organization. You will own the end-to-end strategy and execution of our most critical customer programs, with a heavy focus on guiding enterprise clients through seamless migrations to the Chronosphere platform. In this role, you are the ultimate dot-connector. You will partner with customer executives and technical leads while orchestrating internal alignment across Solutions Architects, Junior Technical Program Managers, Implementation Engineers, Product and Engineering Managers. Beyond delivery, you will act as a strategic feedback loop, translating real-world customer migration challenges, migration data patterns, learnings, and operational friction into actionable insights for our Professional Services team and Product and Engineering teams. This role is remote, but distance is no barrier to impact. Our hybrid teams collaborate across geographies to solve big problems, stay close to our customers, and grow together. You will be part of a culture that values trust, accountability, and shared success where your work truly matters.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience working within technical domains or organizations, maintaining a deep technical foundation (such as a background or strong literacy in Software Engineering or DevOps).
• 4+ years of experience specifically as a Technical Program Manager, with a proven track record of orchestrating complex, cross-functional initiatives.
• Direct experience in customer-facing technical functions (e.g., Professional Services, Technical Consulting), confidently guiding enterprise clients through high-stakes platform transitions.
• Demonstrated ability to build strong cross-functional relationships and influence senior engineering and executive leadership, both internally and externally, without direct authority.
• An analytical approach to delivery; proficient in tracking metrics, forecasting project lifecycles, and building data-backed delivery tools (e.g., capacity models, workflow automations).

Nice To Haves

• Observability Domain Expertise: Familiarity with the observability and monitoring landscape, including open-source standards (e.g., Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, M3)

Responsibilities

• Lead the execution of large-scale customer onboarding and implementation projects, managing complex cross-organizational dependencies from kickoff to go-live.
• Partner with client technical leads to gather requirements and asset scope. Lead internal discovery with Solution Architects and Implementation Engineers to map out tailored migration paths.
• Break down technical initiatives into clear milestones. Proactively identify risks, track dependencies, and resolve bottlenecks before they impact timelines.
• Translate technical goals, migration project status, and risks into clear narratives for stakeholders at every level, comfortably pivoting from deep-tech engineering syncs to customer executive briefings.
• Analyze delivery metrics and onboarding data to identify friction points, eliminate manual workflows, and continuously scale migration velocity.
• Build, refine, and own standardized customer migration workstream templates and engagement frameworks to institutionalize knowledge.
• Maintain a macro-view of all active customer implementations; track resource capacity against the onboarding pipeline to prevent burnout and delivery delays.
• Mentor junior team members and institutionalize project management standards, modern tooling architectures (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Asana), and agile methodologies across the Customer Success organization.
