About The Position

The Technical Program Manager (TPM) is a customer-facing, cross-functional role responsible for driving complex technical programs from early customer engagement through initial delivery and operational handoff. TPM serves as a central point of coordination across customers, account teams, product management, engineering, test, services, and leadership to ensure technical commitments are clearly defined, risks are identified early, and execution remains aligned with business and customer expectations. Operating in a highly matrixed environment, the TPM partners closely with Sales, Sales Engineering, Product Management, Engineering, Test, and Services teams to translate customer requirements and business priorities into executable plans, milestones, and deliverables. The role relies on strong communication, structured execution, and influence rather than direct authority to drive outcomes. TPM owns technical programs from early solution alignment through initial implementation and operational handoff, ensuring continuity across presales, delivery, and operational phases. The role includes coordinating cross-functional dependencies, validating technical and delivery commitments, facilitating decision-making, and proactively managing risks and issues. TPMs are expected to provide clear visibility into program status, timelines, dependencies, and escalations, and to communicate effectively with stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership. A core focus of the role is operational execution and continuous improvement. The TPM leverages program management tools, dashboards, and reporting mechanisms to improve transparency, predictability, and efficiency. They partner with tooling and operations teams to identify gaps, streamline processes, and balance execution rigor with speed, ensuring structure enables delivery rather than creating friction.
