About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in engineering, Business, or a related field.
  • A PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, A-CSM, or equivalent certification.
  • At least 10 years of program or project management experience in a software/AI engineering, hardware-software integration, or infrastructure environment, including leading multi-team, multi-site programs and mentoring other program/project managers.
  • Experience working in agile/scrum environments and comfort with Jira, Confluence, and similar tools, including standing up or evolving these processes for a growing organization.
  • Demonstrated ability to own the organization's largest and most complex programs spanning multiple engineering disciplines, sites, and time zones, with competing priorities and significant ambiguity.
  • A strong technical background sufficient to engage deeply with engineering directors on technical tradeoffs, architecture decisions, and delivery constraints, and make judgment calls under ambiguity; production coding is not required.
  • Ability to brief senior leadership at director, vice president, and chief technology officer levels and tailor communication to the audience.
  • A proven track record of operating effectively in matrixed, global organizations with distributed, cross-functional teams across multiple time zones.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, container orchestration such as Kubernetes, or GitOps tools such as ArgoCD.
  • Experience driving AI, developer experience, developer productivity, or internal platform initiatives at an organizational level.
  • Demonstrated experience mentoring or informally leading other program/project managers and contributing to how a technical program management function or project management office operates.

Responsibilities

  • Own the definition and cross-functional strategy for organization-wide programs and initiatives spanning engineering disciplines and global sites; set scoping standards for other technical program managers and unblock or re-scope stalled programs.
  • Drive the organization-wide program portfolio across hardware, software, and AI engineering, maintaining the source of truth for commitments, capacity, dependencies, and status used by other technical program managers and engineering leaders.
  • Serve as the senior interface between business/product leadership and engineering directors on complex, high-risk commitments, translating contracts, growth targets, and customer deployments into engineering capacity plans and surfacing tradeoffs to leadership before they become misses.
  • Design, implement, and own dashboards, cadences, key performance indicators, and reporting frameworks to brief the chief technology officer and senior leadership on engineering portfolio health; use data and patterns across programs to shape strategic decisions and organizational design.
  • Maintain a real-time view of capacity versus committed demand across hardware, platform/cloud, and engineering operations, and drive prioritization decisions at director and vice president level when demand conflicts across sites and disciplines.
  • Drive end-to-end delivery of strategic, high-risk programs, including multi-site customer-facing deployments, new product launches, and operational scaling initiatives; act as the escalation point for programs spanning Oak Brook, Pune, and Taipei.
  • Set standards for widely circulated plans and communications across the technical program management function, drive consistency and clarity organization-wide, influence directors and vice presidents, build consensus amid ambiguity, and coach other technical program managers on stakeholder management.
  • Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules.
  • Protect Chamberlain Group's reputation by keeping information confidential.
  • Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
  • Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating in projects as needed.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior experience as a Senior- or Staff-level Technical Program Manager in a hardware-software, Internet of Things/connected-device, or similarly matrixed engineering organization.
  • Experience establishing or scaling a technical program management function or project management office from an early stage.
  • Background building internal-platform-as-a-product programs or developer self-service tooling at organizational scale.
  • Experience partnering with hardware engineering teams at the leadership level, including familiarity with new product development processes, hardware-software integration, or embedded systems in connected/Internet of Things products.
  • Experience in Internet of Things, connected home, or cloud-native platform engineering environments.
