Technical Program Manager

Autodesk•Quebec, ON

About The Position

Lead end-to-end technical programs by defining clear charters (scope, milestones, KPIs) and maintaining strong execution cadence across teams (scrum-of-scrums, integration reviews, planning cycles). Align and sequence backlogs across services, proactively manage dependencies and RAID items, and drive cross-org blocker resolution. Ensure disciplined CI/CD and release practices—including branching strategies, feature flags, testing, and rollback readiness—supported by strong observability and quality gates. Identify and mitigate architectural, security, compliance, and regionalization risks early, coordinating seamless integrations and low-risk cutovers. Elevate planning rigor through dependency-aware capacity planning and clear tradeoff communication, while maintaining unified execution visibility via dashboards and reporting. Establish lightweight operational standards that improve efficiency, enforce delivery discipline, and align with cloud cost goals. Success is measured by predictable, on-time delivery with reduced integration risk, sustained team discipline, high-quality releases with minimal regressions, and secure, compliant, and scalable system integrations.

Requirements

8–12+ years in PM roles delivering complex, multi-team software programs, including platform/service integrations; strong preference for engineering/SRE background or deeply technical TPM experience
Expert in scaled Scrum/Agile: scrum-of-scrums, DOR/DOD, backlog management, sprint integrity, dependency sequencing, release retrospectives, and process optimization
Proven hands-on with CI/CD (branching, gating, flags, canaries), integration testing, and release orchestration for distributed systems
Track record in security/compliance/regionalization initiatives (e.g., allow-listing, FedRAMP, data sovereignty) and cross-team anti-pattern remediation
Skilled in RAID/dependency leadership across boundaries; excels at partnering with EMs, architects, PMs, and XD teams
Proficient in Jira/Confluence, CI/CD/observability tools
Strong in metrics (throughput, predictability, defects, lead times, pass rates)
Strong technical communication: tradeoff-oriented for developers, concise for executives

Nice To Haves

Experience with AEC visualization integrations (ACC; Forma; etc.)
Managing shared multi-contributor packages, versioning, publishing, consumption timelines
Scaled regionalization (environment parity, legacy remediation, authentication/allow-lists)
Aligning programs to cloud efficiency targets with backlog adjustments for timely outcomes
