Technical Program Manager

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take charge of comprehensive program execution for significant cross-functional initiatives — managing everything from kickoff and scoping to launch and retrospective.

• Develop and sustain program plans that align dependencies across engineering, product, design, and data teams, ensuring everyone is on the same page regarding scope, milestones, and timelines.

• Propel the operational cadence — facilitate planning cycles, standups, reviews, and launch readiness; ensure meetings are focused, decisions are explicit, and follow-ups are accountable.

• Detect, escalate, and resolve risks and blockers early on, proactively clearing obstacles for teams and rearranging work when priorities change.

• Act as a bridge between technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating complex engineering scenarios into concise updates for leadership and providing clear context for the teams executing the work.

• Enhance our operational methods — implement lightweight, scalable processes for planning, prioritization, and delivery that minimize friction instead of creating it.

• Maintain a singular source of truth regarding program status, dependencies, and decisions, allowing anyone to quickly grasp the current situation at a glance.

⛳️ Requirements

• Over 5 years of experience in technical program management, engineering program management, or a closely related position within a software or technology company.

• A solid technical foundation — capable of reading a system design document, following discussions on architectural trade-offs, and engaging competently with engineers.

• A proven history of delivering complex, cross-functional software programs on schedule, coordinating multiple teams with competing priorities.

• Outstanding organizational and communication skills — able to write clearly, conduct efficient meetings, and keep large groups aligned.

• Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change — skilled at creating structure in uncertain situations and adapting as priorities shift in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Strong judgment in prioritization and risk assessment — adept at identifying what is most critical, what can be delayed, and what could jeopardize a launch.

• Familiarity with modern delivery tools (e.g., GitHub, Linear/Jira, Notion) and an instinct for leveraging processes to empower, rather than hinder, the team.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive compensation

• Meaningful equity
