Technical Program Manager
About The Position
PeopleConnect is seeking a Technical Program Manager to drive execution across multiple teams and improve how work gets done across the organization. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and business teams and is responsible for ensuring work is clearly scoped, well-coordinated, and delivered efficiently. The focus is not on defining product strategy or owning technical implementation, but on improving execution quality, reducing friction between teams, and increasing overall delivery speed. A key component of the role is identifying opportunities to streamline program management and team workflows through practical use of AI tools. This is not an AI strategy or research role. The expectation is hands-on application of tools to reduce manual overhead, improve visibility, and make teams more efficient without introducing unnecessary process. This is an office-based role in our San Diego office, with one remote day a week.
