Sr. Technical Program Manager

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own end-to-end execution of multi-platform technical programs at Philo. This is a hands-on execution role — you'll be embedded in the product development process, working daily with Product Managers, engineering domain leads, and QA to coordinate rollouts, enforce process standards, and keep complex cross-team programs on track.

Responsibilities

• Own 5–8 active multi-platform rollouts at any given time
• Drive programs end-to-end: scoping, requirements, technical design coordination, implementation tracking, testing, launch, and post-launch retro
• Build and maintain project schedules, milestone tracking, and dependency maps across engineering domains
• Track sprint and marathon commitments across domain teams; surface blockers early and drive resolution
• Document decisions, action items, and outcomes in Notion; track action items through to completion
• Lead program-level meetings including kickoffs and cross-team syncs
• Present program progress in planning meetings and other forums as needed
• Cross-Domain Coordination
• Coordinate work across Philo's engineering domain teams on complex multi-domain programs
• Ensure platform-specific requirements are captured and that no surface gets left behind
• Partner with domain leads on what is being prioritized each cycle; identify resource gaps and bottlenecks early
• Coordinate with QA as part of the standard rollout process; testing coordination is part of the job
• Process Standards
• Review PRD quality for complex cross-platform and cross-domain projects; flag missing requirements before they surface in implementation
• Identify opportunities for better definition or optimization in the development planning process, run quarterly retros on the process, and work with leadership to implement recommended changes
• Complete process administration milestones, e.g., setting up the project database for a new quarter and communicating it out
• Stakeholder Partnership
• Partner daily with the Head of Product and PMs on what needs coordination; own how that coordination happens
• Coordinate with Engineering leadership on resourcing and launch timelines
• Escalate to the Head of Program Management when blockers cannot be resolved at the program level
• Bridge communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders

Qualifications

• 10+ years of technical program management experience, with a track record of owning complex, multi-team software programs end-to-end
• Experience at a consumer technology company shipping products across multiple platforms or surfaces (mobile, web, connected TV, or similar)
• Strong grasp of software development lifecycle: you can engage meaningfully with engineers on technical approach, understand system-level tradeoffs, and facilitate design discussions
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across multiple engineering domains simultaneously, managing dependencies and keeping programs moving in ambiguous environments
• Disciplined about documentation and process— you make things findable, traceable, and repeatable
• Comfortable operating as an individual contributor in a lean organization where you own execution, not just coordination
• Experience with Jira, Notion, or similar project tracking and documentation tools
• Preferred: Familiarity with multi-platform distribution environments (Apple, Google, Roku, Amazon, or similar); experience in a startup or scale-up environment where the program management function was still being built out

What we’re NOT looking for

• A person who works best in a large team or heavy process infrastructure to be effective
• A project coordinator who tracks status without influencing outcomes
• A person who conflates program management with Jira administration
