Technical Program Manager
About The Position
As a Technical Program Manager at MediaAlpha, you will sit at the nexus of engineering, business, and our external customers. You will lead a functional area and work across teams to determine ongoing program needs, manage related projects, and define and measure the success of your area.

You're comfortable reviewing code with engineers and talking business strategy with executive leadership. At MediaAlpha, we're an intentionally small organization where individuals can have an outsized impact and opportunity, and we're looking for people that relentlessly look for ways to improve what we're doing, how we're doing it, and drive more value for our customers.
