• Communicate clearly and confidently across engineering, product, and executive audiences.

• Ensure alignment across teams and surface key decisions, blockers, and progress updates.

• Identify and implement tools, workflows, or process improvements that increase delivery speed and transparency.

What you will bring:

• 5+ years of Technical Program Management experience, including establishing program management frameworks for new or early-stage initiatives and scaling them as programs mature.

• Proven track record to define structure where none exists, creating planning, execution, and reporting mechanisms that enable teams to adapt quickly without losing clarity.

• Deep understanding of software delivery, technical dependencies, risk management, and execution tradeoffs, with a bias toward speed, iteration, and impact.

• Solid understanding of system architecture and SDLCs, enabling significant participation in technical and architectural discussions.

• Demonstrated success leading progress across distributed teams and multiple collaborators, aligning priorities and sequencing work effectively.

• Strong communicator and facilitator, comfortable navigating ambiguity, resolving misalignment, and influencing decisions without formal authority.

• A trusted cross-functional partner who keeps teams aligned, advised, and unblocked while balancing autonomy and accountability.

• Strong proficiency with program management and planning tools (JIRA, Confluence, Airtable, or similar), and the ability to tailor tooling to fit new programs.
