Technical Program Manager (Digital)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. The posting includes: About the role (first paragraph). Responsibilities: many bullet-like sentences under "In This Role, You Will" and "Deliverables". Requirements: "What You Need To Have To Be Considered". Qualifications: maybe "These Will Help You Stand Out". Skills: maybe "Familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform and Azure DevOps is preferred." Benefits: listed. Pay: salary range. Schedule: not mentioned (no schedule). So we omit Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Work Model" paragraph about remote position, location, work arrangements, legal auth, visa note. That's substantive? It's about work model, location, eligibility. Should we include? It could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Work Model". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put that info under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? It's not exactly responsibilities. The instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests we can use those headings; we shouldn't invent others. So we should fit content into those categories. Work model info could go under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? Probably About the role includes description of role and work model. We'll include it in About the role. We must not include duplicated lines. Need to extract bullet points. Let's parse content: About the role: "We are seeking a Program Manager to support platform stability, reliability, automation, and production operations. This role will partner with cross-functional teams to improve resilient systems, troubleshoot production issues, strengthen observability, and apply site reliability engineering best practices." Then "Work Model" paragraph: remote position open to qualified applicants able to work in Pittsburg, PA. Support work-life balance, wellbeing programs. Working arrangements accurate as of date, may change. Cognizant will only consider applicants legally authorized to work in US without sponsorship. No visa transfer/sponsorship. We'll combine into About the role

. Responsibilities: list from "In This Role, You Will Own the project plan..." and "Deliverables". We'll create

• items. Let's extract responsibilities sentences: - Own the project plan and delivery cadence across phases: Mobilization, Design, MVP Build, Expansion, Migration, Go-Live. - Coordinates a distributed delivery team. - Manage the Logistics stakeholder group across different sites, including SME availability for discovery, design validation, and UAT. - Runs governance: scope control, risk and issue management, dependency tracking, action follow-through, and escalation. - Own Leadership and stakeholder reporting. - Tracks budget consumption and resource allocation against plan in coordination with the Application Development Manager. - Drive approvals and signoffs to closure with the named owners per RACI (MVP scope signoff sits with Executive Leadership). - Deliverables (maybe treat as sub-items): - Integrated project plan and delivery schedule, maintained against the six-phase structure; baselined, then maintained weekly. - Weekly status report — progress against plan, milestones, risks, decisions, escalations. - Weekly Leadership /Stakeholder update pack. - Per RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies) with owners and target dates; live, reviewed weekly. - Decision and assumption register, driven to formal closure. - Live Sprint and backlog coordination in Azure DevOps against the delivery plan; per sprint. - Facilitated discovery, design, and validation sessions with outputs captured, actioned, and signed off; per phase. - Requirements and process-map signoff packages routed to the correct approvers; per milestone. - Architecture Review Board (ARB) submission coordination; per gate. - Resource and budget consumption tracking against forecast; monthly. - UAT plan and execution coordination; MVP and each subsequent release. - Migration and cutover plan, including Smartsheet parallel-run and deprecation sequencing; per release. - Absorb the knowledge transfer. No Logistics domain background is assumed — the role relies on named SMEs at both sites for process validation. We'll put each as
• . Requirements: "What You Need To Have To Be Considered" bullet list: - End-to-end project delivery ownership, maintaining an accurate view of scope, plan, status, risks, decisions, dependencies, and open items while proactively driving actions and decisions to closure. - Project governance and organizational discipline, with experience maintaining integrated project plans, RAID logs, decision registers, backlogs, executive status reporting, and steering committee materials. - Cross-functional and executive stakeholder management, coordinating business, technology, offshore/onshore teams, and external vendors across multiple locations and time zones; comfortable challenging stakeholders, managing scope creep, escalating issues, and holding owners accountable. - Proven technology delivery experience, including Agile delivery, ERP integration dependencies, backlog/sprint/release management, vendor transitions, in-flight project takeovers, and complex cutover or parallel-run implementations. - Familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform and Azure DevOps is preferred. - Ability to ramp quickly in complex or regulated environments, absorb domain knowledge, challenge SME inputs, and translate technical delivery into business impact. - Experience in medical device, life sciences, validation, or similar regulated environments is strongly preferred. Qualifications: "These Will Help You Stand Out" maybe qualifies as Qualifications. It repeats some points: Ability to ramp quickly... Experience in medical device, life sciences, GxP/CSV, validation, or similar regulated environments is strongly preferred. Also encourages transferable experiences. We'll treat as Qualifications. Skills: maybe we can extract "Familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform and Azure DevOps is preferred." but that's already in Requirements. Could also include "Ability to ramp quickly..." but that's also there. We could create Skills section for technical skills: Microsoft Power Platform, Azure DevOps, Agile, ERP integration, etc. But we must not invent content not present. We have explicit mention of familiarity with Microsoft Power Platform and Azure DevOps is preferred. Also mention of Agile delivery, ERP integration dependencies, backlog/sprint/release management, vendor transitions, in-flight project takeovers, complex cutover or parallel-run implementations. Those are experience, not skills. Could still list them under Skills. However we need to avoid duplication. Might be okay to have Skills section with those items. But we must ensure we don't create thin sections. If we have only one item, maybe better to incorporate into Requirements. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we skip Skills section and put those details under Requirements or Qualifications. Since Requirements already includes many items, we can keep Skills omitted. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Check Benefits: list: - Medical/Dental/Vision/Life Insurance - Paid holidays plus Paid Time Off - 401(k) plan and contributions - Long-term/Short-term Disability - Paid Parental Leave - Employee Stock Purchase Plan Pay: salary range and discretionary annual incentive. Now produce HTML. We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft.
