We are looking for a professional who can solve architectural puzzles and elevate technical program management standards across a global organization.
What you’ll do
- Lead complex technical programs from inception to delivery, resolving cross-team dependencies and evaluating risks in real-time.
- Partner with engineering leads to conceptualize architectural solutions and translate product visions into detailed execution roadmaps and resource plans.
- Drive execution velocity by identifying systemic bottlenecks, managing escalations, and removing obstacles to maintain project momentum.
- Champion engineering and operational excellence, implementing continuous improvements to program management processes.
- Navigate high-stakes ambiguity by balancing priorities across diverse stakeholders, including leadership, technical teams, and legal/compliance partners.
- Use a data-driven approach to define program KPIs, track progress, and provide actionable insights for decision-making.
Basic Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in technical program management or software development leadership.
- Experience shipping large-scale programs while managing scheduling, resource planning, and stakeholder communication for senior-level audiences.
- Technical aptitude with the ability to understand distributed systems and translate technical issues into prioritized actions.
- Experience predicting execution risks and building data-backed proposals to achieve team alignment.
- Experience with the product development lifecycle, including creating technical documentation (such as PRDs or ERDs).
- Experience driving efficiencies through process definition, runbooks, or tooling automation.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).
- Excellent communication in English and interpersonal skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Background in software engineering or engineering management, specifically within online delivery or logistics business models.
- Experience with data analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Python, Tableau) to drive analysis and automation.
- Professional certifications such as PMP, CISA, CISSP, or CIA.
- Ability to resolve ambiguity in fast-paced environments and manage hands-on technical challenges.
