Responsibilities

  • Explain technical concepts and program status in plain terms to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Build and maintain detailed plans, timelines, budgets, and resource allocation for several concurrent initiatives.
  • Spot, track, and reduce program risks and dependencies, and take blockers to leadership with clear options and a recommendation.
  • Coordinate engineering, product, legal, and third-party vendors so security controls land on schedule.
  • Set program goals, build dashboards, and report status to executives and the board.
  • Coordinate incident response, including post-incident reviews and tracking the follow-up actions.
  • Build a culture of openness and trust, use lean, value-driven methods, lead through influence, and serve and empower technical teams.
  • Work with other TPMs to introduce and carry out ongoing cross-functional process improvements.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years of technical program management experience.
  • Solid grasp of program management methodologies.
  • Ability to adapt agile management principles to different development environments.
  • Proven track record running several complex, cross-functional programs at once in a fast-paced setting.
  • Strong written and verbal communication, including turning technical risk into business impact for executives.
  • Strong analytical and risk-assessment skills, with experience using program management and ticketing tools.
  • Proven ability to build trust and influence across engineering, legal, and executive teams without direct authority.
  • High attention to detail and sound judgment under pressure, and comfort with ambiguity during active incidents.
  • Master's degree: a plus.
  • ScrumMaster certification: a plus.
  • Experience with Atlassian and Google product suites: a plus.
