Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or equivalent delivery leadership roles within high-growth, distributed software organizations.
- Proven experience building, scaling, or transforming a TPM function, including managing senior-level TPMs and setting organizational standards.
- Strong technical fluency, with the ability to understand architecture, evaluate engineering trade-offs, and engage credibly with senior engineering stakeholders.
- Demonstrated success designing and operating cross-functional execution systems between engineering and go-to-market or customer-facing teams.
- Deep experience with project management systems such as Linear or Jira, including defining or enforcing standards across multiple teams.
- Strong point of view on TPM vs PMO boundaries and the ability to avoid administrative or “hygiene-only” operating models.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, particularly in asynchronous, globally distributed environments.
- High judgment, autonomy, and ability to influence without formal authority across senior stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Build and scale the Technical Program Management function, defining its operating model, standards, engagement patterns, and long-term structure across the organization.
- Manage and mentor a growing team of senior TPMs, setting expectations, maintaining quality, and preventing drift into administrative or status-collection work.
- Design and own the cross-functional execution framework between Engineering, Product, Design, Customer Success, Support, GTM, and PMM, ensuring clear ownership, dependencies, and escalation paths.
- Define and implement the company-wide standard for project execution and management within tools such as Linear, including structure, tagging, milestone conventions, and program visibility.
- Lead the dependency mapping and launch readiness for large-scale, multi-team initiatives spanning multiple engineering groups and downstream business functions.
- Establish program-level visibility systems that enable leadership to understand execution health without adding unnecessary operational overhead to teams.
- Partner closely with Engineering Managers and functional leaders to reinforce accountability and ensure TPMs act as enablers of delivery systems, not substitutes for team ownership.
