Technical Program Manager, 6 months fixed-term - (People Systems, People & Culture)

Description

You will own the roadmap for People Systems, the technical programs that shape how colleagues across the company hire, grow and get support.

The company operates in around 65 countries and is one of Europe's largest tech platforms. It is headquartered in Berlin, has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017 and is part of the MDAX index.

Requirements

• At least 4 years in product, project or program management, delivering complex, data-driven technical products at scale with measurable results.
• Data fluency and hands-on work with engineers, data scientists or analysts, with an analytical approach to breaking hard problems into solutions that scale.
• Prior experience owning a technology or AI roadmap and its delivery with a cross-functional team, including senior stakeholders.
• Track record of turning conflicting business needs into technology and data product solutions.
• Clear communication and stakeholder management that keeps global teams aligned, including data science, engineering and brand stakeholders.
