Technical Program Manager

How You’ll Make An Impact

As a Technical Program Manager on the Planning & Portfolio Team, you will support and execute cross-functional planning and program operations initiatives that help Technology and Product teams deliver on their roadmaps. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Program Operations peers to drive structured planning, track execution, and surface risks and dependencies. This role is focused on program execution, operational rigor, and coordination, helping teams move from discovery to delivery while improving the consistency and effectiveness of portfolio processes across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Support ownership of delivery, sequencing, and risk within the Technology and Product roadmap planning process by helping teams prepare, validate, and align planning inputs and assumptions
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Program Operations to help coordinate initiative sequencing, identify dependencies, and surface planning risks that could impact predictable execution
• Contribute to execution clarity by helping operationalize planning processes that improve visibility into demand, capacity, timelines, and progress
• Cook up the operating rhythm for planning by coordinating and facilitating planning sessions, reviews, and checkpoints in partnership with Portfolio Managers
• Cook up coordination with Finance, Accounting, and tooling teams (e.g., Jira / Atlassian) to help ensure planning data, time tracking, and reporting are accurate and support delivery predictability
• Identify and surface risks, gaps, or inefficiencies in planning inputs or processes, and propose pragmatic improvements
• Track and communicate planning status and readiness, escalating risks and cross-team dependencies as needed to support predictable execution
• Contribute to narrative and artifacts (plans, documentation, dashboards, status updates) that help leadership and teams understand priorities, trade-offs, and execution implications
• Cook up across teams to reinforce shared accountability, clarity, and alignment throughout the planning lifecycle

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in technical program management, program operations, product operations, or a related role
• Experience working closely with Product and Engineering teams in a delivery-focused environment
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects or programs simultaneously with attention to detail
• Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex information into clear updates
• Comfort operating in evolving or partially defined environments, with a bias toward action and follow-through
• Experience using agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and tools such as Jira and Confluence
• Ability to analyze data, track metrics, and identify trends related to execution and delivery
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to build strong working relationships across functions
• Interest in improving processes and operational effectiveness over time
• Familiarity with portfolio planning, prioritization, or capacity tracking is a plus
• Experience with automation and/or AI tools such as chatGPT, Gemini, etc.
