We are looking for a high-impact Technical Program Manager to anchor the PMO function across two large-scale enterprise initiatives. This is not a coordination role - it is a leadership position for someone who owns outcomes, drives delivery discipline, and surfaces and resolves blockers before they become escalations.The ideal candidate sits at the intersection of PMO governance and technical delivery - someone with a strong enough technology foundation to engage credibly with engineering, architecture, and platform teams, while bringing the program management rigor to keep complex, cross-functional initiatives on track. A deep understanding of enterprise Customer data ecosystems is essential; these initiatives run across customer data platforms and the person in this role must appreciate how data flows, where it lives, and how technical program decisions interact with that landscape.You will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, translate technical complexity into clear executive narratives, bring structure to ambiguity, and elevate the maturity of program governance and technical delivery practices across the organization. Key Responsibilities: Program Governance & Technical Delivery Oversight● Own end-to-end program governance across enterprise-scale technology initiatives - scope, schedule, risk, dependencies, and stakeholder alignment.● Define and maintain robust program plans, milestones, and KPIs; drive accountability across technical and business workstreams without direct authority.● Establish and continuously improve PMO frameworks, templates, and delivery standards aligned to technical delivery realities.● Lead program status reviews, steering committee meetings, and executive reporting; translate complex technical delivery realities into clear, constructive narratives for senior stakeholders.● Proactively identify risks, interdependencies, and capacity constraints across technical teams; own mitigation plans through to resolution.● Manage integrated release planning, aligning technical dependencies and milestones across engineering teams, platform squads, and external partners.● Bridge gaps between business, technology, architecture, and operations teams - ensuring strategic alignment without creating delivery bottlenecks.● Drive the integration of AI-enabled delivery management capabilities, reporting tools, and workflow automation practices to improve operational efficiency and delivery outcomes across platforms.● Establish oversight practices for AI-assisted delivery reporting, dependency management, and resource planning to ensure transparency, quality, and effective decision-making. Enterprise Customer Data Ecosystem● Develop a strong working understanding of the enterprise Customer data ecosystem - how data is structured, governed, and flows across the technical platforms underpinning these initiatives.● Ensure program and technical decisions account for data dependencies, data quality implications, and downstream impacts on the customer data landscape.● Partner with data engineering, architecture, and platform teams to surface data-related risks and technical dependencies early in the program lifecycle.● Drive data governance practices within the PMO - ensuring reporting, dashboards, and program metrics are grounded in reliable, timely information.● Engage with Enterprise Architects and platform teams to facilitate alignment of technical solutions with the broader data ecosystem strategy. Stakeholder & Executive Communication● Navigate complex stakeholder landscapes with confidence and diplomacy - able to put across difficult program realities (technical risks, delays, hard truths) in a way that is clear, constructive, and builds rather than breaks trust.● Influence decisions and drive alignment across senior leadership, business owners, and technical leads without positional authority.● Prepare and present executive-level program updates, translating technical complexity into the right level of detail, framing, and tone for each audience.● Facilitate governance forums, steering committees, and technical alignment sessions with structured agendas and clear outcomes. Leadership & Problem Solving● Function as the PMO's internal go-to person - the one others come to when they hit a wall or need a structured path forward, whether the challenge is technical, organizational, or both.● Anticipate technical and organizational delivery challenges; develop and propose solutions independently rather than escalating problems without a perspective.● Champion a culture of continuous improvement across delivery practices, tooling, and PMO ways of working.● Collaborate with senior leadership on talent strategy, ensuring the PMO team is high-functioning and continuously growing. Qualifications: Must-Have8-12+ years of progressive experience in Technical Program Management, PMO leadership, or a senior technology delivery governance role.Demonstrated track record of owning and delivering large, cross-functional enterprise technology programs - not just tracking them.Strong understanding of enterprise data ecosystems - particularly customer data platforms, data governance, and how data flows across complex technical initiatives.Sufficient technical fluency to engage meaningfully with engineering, architecture, and platform teams - able to ask the right questions, understand constraints, and assess technical risk.Experience operating within or leading a formal PMO function at an enterprise or Fortune 500 level, ideally within a technology-led transformation context.Exceptional stakeholder and executive communication skills - able to translate technical complexity into clear business narratives and deliver difficult messages with clarity and tact.Proficiency with program/project management tools (e.g., Jira, MS Project, Smartsheet, Monday.com) and reporting platforms (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).Awareness of AI-enabled delivery management - how AI tools, agentic workflows, and automation are reshaping program reporting, dependency management, and delivery analytics.Curiosity and openness to evaluating AI-driven improvements to PMO processes, operating models, and team productivity in partnership with platform and engineering teams. Good to HaveWorking knowledge of Agile-at-scale frameworks - SAFe, PI Planning, Scrum-of-Scrums, Agile Release Trains (ARTs); ability to engage credibly with delivery and product teams operating in these models.Familiarity with integrated release planning across multi-team, multi-vendor, multi-platform environments.Hands-on exposure to technical delivery concepts - system requirements, functional specifications, SDLC standards, API/platform integrations - enough to hold substantive conversations with engineering and architecture teams.Experience working alongside Release Train Engineers (RTEs), product owners, Enterprise Architects, and agile coaches in a scaled technology delivery environment.Background in data platform programs, or customer data transformations. CertificationsPMP, PgMP, SAFe (SA or SPC), or equivalent - preferred but not mandatory. WHAT SETS THE BEST CANDIDATES APART We're not looking for someone who manages tasks on a tracker. We're looking for someone who wakes up thinking about the program, sees problems three weeks before they become issues, and brings a solved or half-solved answer every time they raise a concern. You know how to earn credibility fast in a new environment - with engineers, architects, and executives alike - how to operate with authority without a title that demands it, and how to say the hard thing in a room full of senior stakeholders and still walk out with alignment. If your instinct is to ask for a playbook, this is probably not the right fit. If your instinct is to draft one, share it, get it challenged, and improve it - we want to talk. WHY JOIN US Visible, high-stakes work at the intersection of technology delivery and enterprise transformation.A seat at the table in steering committees, architecture reviews, and executive forums from day one.A culture that rewards initiative, technical curiosity, ownership, and intellectual rigor.Opportunity to shape the PMO function and technical delivery practices - not just work within them.Competitive compensation, flexible work model, and strong growth trajectory.
