Hybrid role: 2 days/week in office

Role Overview

As a Technical Program Manager at MediaAlpha you’ll sit at the nexus of engineering, business, and our external customers. You’ll lead a functional area and work across teams to determine ongoing program needs, manage related projects, and define and measure success of your area.

The ideal candidate is someone that is intensely curious and will foster, drive, and socialize a shared vision around their ownership area. You’re comfortable reviewing code with engineers and talking business strategy with executive leadership. At MediaAlpha, we’re an intentionally small organization where individuals can have outsized impact and opportunity, and we’re looking for people who relentlessly look for ways to improve what we’re doing, how we do it, and drive more value for our customers.

Responsibilities

• Oversee an end-to-end program, including defining metrics to measure success, monitor issues, and surface opportunities in systems that handle hundreds of thousands of high-value transactions per day.
• Work with external partners, internal account managers, and engineers to define, build, test, and release API integrations, related functionality, and supporting features.
• Manage Backlogs and Kanban workflows, and coordinate wider efforts across cross-functional teams.
• Consult with external partners on best practices for data passing and API design.

Requirements

• 2+ years of Program Management or related project experience, especially in an Agile environment.
• Exceptional analytical skills.
• Experience with SQL, JSON, and Web APIs.
• Experience working with engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to articulate and communicate clearly, concisely, and thoughtfully.
• A self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity and ability to problem solve, while paying careful attention to detail.
• Knowledge of Atlasssian Suite (JIRA, Confluence) a plus.
