Senior Technical Program Manager
Leads multiple concurrent engineering programs in ambiguous environments, partnering with engineering and product teams to define objectives, manage risks, and ensure delivery. Requires 8+ years TPM experience, proficiency in JIRA/Monday.com/Confluence, and Agile/Scrum knowledge.
What you'll do
- Drive program strategy and execution across multiple concurrent engineering initiatives, building structure and delivery plans in ambiguous environments where processes don't yet exist.
- Partner with engineering leads and product managers to define program objectives, success metrics, and delivery milestones - and stay accountable for outcomes from kickoff through close.
- Identify, escalate, and resolve risks and blockers proactively, including surfacing critical issues to senior leadership even when it's uncomfortable, to keep programs moving at pace.
- Facilitate quarterly PI planning cycles, helping engineering teams build realistic, dependency-aware plans that reflect actual capacity and constraints.
- Lead continuous improvement of program management processes, using AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT to drive automation and reduce manual overhead across planning and reporting.
- Communicate program progress, risks, and impacts clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, giving them the context they need for informed decisions.
What you need
- 8+ years of experience in technical program management, leading complex, multi-team programs in a technology-driven environment.
- Demonstrated experience building programs from scratch in ambiguous environments where structure, process, and tooling did not previously exist.
- Track record of managing 5+ concurrent strategic initiatives without a degradation in delivery quality or stakeholder communication.
- Demonstrated ability to escalate risks and critical blockers to senior leadership, with documented examples of influencing outcomes through direct, timely communication.
- Proficiency with Monday.com, JIRA, and Confluence for program planning, tracking, and documentation.
- Deep understanding of software development lifecycle methodologies, including Agile and Scrum, with experience facilitating PI planning.
What will make you stand out
- Experience building and scaling technical program management practices in an open-source, AI, or data science company, where engineering velocity and community expectations intersect.
- Demonstrated use of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) to automate program operations - for example, reducing manual planning or reporting work by 50%+ through automation.
- Experience working in a high-growth startup environment where organizational structure, priorities, and tools shift rapidly and require a TPM who seeks more work, not less.
