Full-timesenior

Job description

Accountabilities: • Build and scale the Technical Program Management function, defining its operating model, standards, engagement patterns, and long-term structure across the organization. • Manage and mentor a growing team of senior TPMs, setting expectations, maintaining quality, and preventing drift into administrative or status-collection work. • Design and own the cross-functional execution framework between Engineering, Product, Design, Customer Success, Support, GTM, and PMM, ensuring clear ownership, dependencies, and escalation paths. • Define and implement the company-wide standard for project execution and management within tools such as Linear, including structure, tagging, milestone conventions, and program visibility. • Lead the dependency mapping and launch readiness for large-scale, multi-team initiatives spanning multiple engineering groups and downstream business functions. • Establish program-level visibility systems that enable leadership to understand execution health without adding unnecessary operational overhead to teams. • Partner closely with Engineering Managers and functional leaders to reinforce accountability and ensure TPMs act as enablers of delivery systems, not substitutes for team ownership. Requirements: • 10+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or equivalent delivery leadership roles within high-growth, distributed software organizations. • Proven experience building, scaling, or transforming a TPM function, including managing senior-level TPMs and setting organizational standards. • Strong technical fluency, with the ability to understand architecture, evaluate engineering trade-offs, and engage credibly with senior engineering stakeholders. • Demonstrated success designing and operating cross-functional execution systems between engineering and go-to-market or customer-facing teams. • Deep experience with project management systems such as Linear or Jira, including defining or enforcing standards across multiple teams. • Strong point of view on TPM vs PMO boundaries and the ability to avoid administrative or “hygiene-only” operating models. • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, particularly in asynchronous, globally distributed environments. • High judgment, autonomy, and ability to influence without formal authority across senior stakeholders. Benefits: • Fully remote-first work model with flexibility to work from anywhere in the world. • Co-working support or WeWork membership to enable productive remote collaboration. • Equity participation (ESOP), allowing you to share in the long-term success of the company. • Comprehensive health coverage, including full employee coverage and partial dependent coverage. • Annual company off-sites in international locations for in-person collaboration and connection. • Flexible working culture built around asynchronous communication and outcome ownership. • Annual learning and development budget for courses, conferences, books, and professional growth. • Technology allowance to equip your ideal work setup.
