As Sr. Principal Technical Program Manager, you will be a hands-on technical leader responsible for setting program direction across a significant product or business area.

What Will You Do:

    • Program Portfolio Management: Own the definition, roadmap, and execution of a portfolio of complex technical programs — ensuring alignment across Product and Engineering organizations to meet defined business objectives.

    • Collaboration Model Design: Implement and refine cross-functional development and delivery frameworks that accelerate the introduction of new technology from conception through deployment.

    • Execution Leadership: Lead planning and execution of programs across distributed teams, ensuring synchronized delivery of software, services, and infrastructure for major product milestones.

    • Stakeholder & Risk Management: Establish and lead regular stakeholder communication cadences, delivering clear program health updates, managing strategic risks, and escalating change control decisions to senior leadership.

    • Technical Partnership: Collaborate with Engineering Managers and Architects to provide technical oversight on key initiatives, contributing to solution definition and reducing technical debt.

    • Operational Governance: Maintain and enforce organizational governance standards, providing visibility and metrics on program health and ensuring accountability for SLAs.

    • Process Improvement: Drive targeted improvements across the product development lifecycle and team structures to enhance efficiency and scalability of the engineering organization.

What You Bring:

    • Education: Bachelor's or advanced technical degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.

    • Experience: 12–15 years of progressive technical program/project management, including 1–2 years in a Sr. Principal or equivalent senior individual contributor leadership role (e.g., Group TPM Lead).

    • Program Expertise: Deep understanding of agile SDLC with proven experience driving large-scale releases and go-to-market schedules across a product portfolio.

    • Executive Communication: Strong presentation skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical strategies to both technical and non-technical senior leaders, including running executive program reviews.

    • Tool Proficiency: Hands-on experience with JIRA, Confluence, and other program management tools — including setting up complex boards, workflows, and reporting structures.

    • Ownership Mindset: A strong delivery-oriented mentality with a track record of driving strategic progress and resolving high-impact, customer-critical issues under pressure.

    • Technical Domain Knowledge: Solid understanding of modern infrastructure, cloud technologies, and security best practices relevant to the product domain.

    • Problem-Solving: Advanced conflict-resolution and problem-solving skills with a history of managing organizational complexity and building consensus across diverse stakeholders.
