Director, Program Manager

About the role

This role is located in Mountain View, CA where we are onsite 3 days a week.

What You Will Impact

You will own one of the broadest execution surfaces at Skylo. You'll own the primary execution bridge across Software Engineering, Network Engineering, Product, Product Support and Customer Success, on infrastructure that has to hold across satellite operators, carriers, chipset makers, and OEMs on five continents. As Director of Program Management, you'll build and lead the team that turns that breadth into predictable delivery, organized as two pods: Technical Program Management as the integration layer, and Program Operations as the operating backbone. Your job is to make deployment at this scale predictable and customer-focused, and to build a team that sustains a culture of invention while operating a global network at scale.

Requirements

• Built and scaled technical program management teams inside complex software, networking, or telecom environments
• Led well without direct authority. You align multidisciplinary teams through influence, clarity, and credibility rather than reporting lines
• Technically fluent in cloud-native architectures, network engineering, and global carrier operations
• Partnered directly with enterprise customer TPM leadership to run joint programs
• Follow through on what you commit to, and communicate technical status honestly, including to executives and external partners
• Deeply curious and quick to learn. You dig into unfamiliar domains, ask the questions others skip, and welcome feedback and mentorship
• Your best work in a fast-paced, high-growth company. You're comfortable building a structure where little exists yet, then reshaping it as the company scales

Qualifications

• Experience managing cross-functional teams
• Strong communication and collaboration skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Technical background in software, networking, or telecom
• Experience with cloud-native architectures and global carrier operations
