Hybrid • Mountain View, CA

This role will be based in Sunnyvale, CA. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from the LinkedIn Sunnyvale office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team. The LinkedIn Flagship Engineering Technical Program Management Group is looking for a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our team which is part of LinkedIn's Flagship engineering organization. Flagship engineering consists of over 1,000 engineers who are responsible for building all new features and functionality on Linkedin.com across all platforms. This team is heavily investing in many product and technology initiatives to build products that provide daily value and knowledge to our members, as well as build world class app platforms. The impact of this role spans throughout the Flagship organization and our partners in infrastructure and other product engineering orgs.

You will own and drive large‑scale, cross‑functional programs that span product, platform, and infrastructure, aligning priorities, clarifying trade‑offs, and orchestrating dependencies across teams. You’ll establish the planning rhythms, standardize artifacts and metrics , and build scenario models that tie investment choices to outcomes. Partnering closely with senior engineering and product leaders, you’ll combine strategic acumen with deep technical understanding of software infrastructure and productivity systems to raise signal, reduce waste, and accelerate delivery. The ideal candidate influences without authority, communicates crisply at all levels, is relentlessly metrics driven, and can dive from portfolio strategy to system details to ensure the right work ships, at the right quality, on time.
