Contribute to technical and operational frameworks that engineering teams can use for decision-making and Operational Excellence.
Partner with program managers, product managers, and engineering managers to understand development priorities and drive alignment across multiple partners with impactful priorities.
Lead large, strategic cross-company initiatives end-to-end, from shaping scope and success metrics with leadership through launch, adoption, and measurable business outcomes.
Own the full program lifecycle across Product, Engineering, and go-to-market teams, driving alignment on priorities, managing dependencies and risks, and holding teams accountable to commitments.

What you'll bring:

10+ years of technical program management experience leading complex, cross-functional programs in sophisticated enterprise technology environments, working directly with many teams across functions.

Ability to use data and analytics to look at trends and lead the health of projects and systems.
Shown understanding and working knowledge of software development and modern project management standard processes, such as Agile, Scrum, Six Sigma, etc.
Ability to coordinate multi-functionally, build consensus, and deliver across teams. Able to influence without authority, negotiate, and encourage others in a matrixed environment.
