About The Position

The Technical Program Manager partners with product and engineering teams to support development and execution of the portfolio roadmap. The role plans, coordinates, and supports day-to-day execution of assigned programs and initiatives, and leads large program-planning activities to align objectives, timelines, and deliverables across initiatives. The position tracks and reports program progress, risks, dependencies, and outcomes across stakeholders; ensures execution follows enterprise and sector program-management standards; and works with product teams and stakeholders to define requirements, manage schedules, identify risks, and communicate status and recommendations. It facilitates leadership reviews, supports engineering rigor by checking delivery against agreed acceptance criteria and definitions of done, and identifies or escalates impediments through established governance channels. The role also applies facilitation and dependency-management techniques to coordinate across programs and teams, maintains visibility into interdependencies and escalations, and identifies opportunities for continuous improvement and change initiatives. Expected outcomes include coordinated delivery aligned to portfolio objectives and adoption tracking, clear program plans and reporting, effective cross-team coordination, timely engineering outcomes aligned to standards, and process and delivery improvements. Hands-on coding is not required, but sufficient technical depth is needed to facilitate architecture and system discussions, reviews, and go-live activities.
