About the role
We are seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our dynamic team. This role will bridge the gap between engineering and product organizations, ensuring that major cross-functional initiatives are executed smoothly.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end program execution for major cross-functional initiatives, from kickoff and scoping through launch and retrospective.
- Build and maintain program plans that map dependencies across engineering, product, design, and data teams, keeping everyone aligned on scope, milestones, and timelines.
- Drive the operating cadence—run planning cycles, standups, reviews, and launch readiness; make meetings sharp, decisions clear, and follow-ups accountable.
- Identify, escalate, and resolve risks and blockers early, proactively unblocking teams and re-sequencing work when priorities shift.
- Translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, turning complex engineering realities into crisp updates for leadership and clear context for the teams doing the work.
- Improve how we operate—establish lightweight, scalable processes for planning, prioritization, and delivery that reduce friction rather than add it.
- Maintain a single source of truth on program status, dependencies, and decisions, so anyone can understand where things stand at a glance.
Requirements
- 5+ years in technical program management, engineering program management, or a closely related role at a software/technology company.
- A technical foundation—can read a system design doc, follow architectural trade-off discussions, and engage credibly with engineers.
- Prior experience as an engineer, or a CS/technical degree, is a strong plus.
- Proven track record shipping complex, cross-functional software programs on time, with multiple teams and competing priorities.
- Exceptional organizational and communication skills—writes clearly, runs a tight meeting, and keeps large groups of people aligned.
- Comfort with ambiguity and speed—creates structure where there is none and adapts as priorities evolve in a fast-growing startup.
- Strong judgment on prioritization and risk—knows what matters most, what can wait, and what could derail a launch.
- Experience with modern delivery tooling (e.g., GitHub, Linear/Jira, Notion) and an instinct for using process to enable, not bottleneck, the team.
Qualifications
- Nice to have: Experience in AI/ML, data platforms, or B2B SaaS products.
- Familiarity with the insurance, fintech, or enterprise software domains.
- Experience standing up program-management practices at an early- or growth-stage company.
Skills
- Strong project management skills.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
- Experience with Agile methodologies.
Benefits
- High impact, high ownership—shape how a fast-moving company plans and ships.
- Work on hard, meaningful problems at the intersection of AI and a massive, underserved industry.
- A team that values clarity, speed, and craftsmanship in equal measure.
- Competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and the chance to help build the operating backbone of a company in hypergrowth.
Pay
Competitive compensation package.
Schedule

Benefits
- Health insurance.
