  • Conduct training and coaching for program stakeholders on programmatic tools, processes, and best practices
  • Promote understanding and adoption of scalable program management practices across the department
  • Mentor and support other TPgMs
  • Tell the story of complex work streams clearly and simply, highlighting the why, the how, and the impact
  • Serve as an effective nudger - keeping the right level of accountability without micromanagement

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or a related field, preferably in a product-driven or engineering-led organization
  • Strong systems thinking, organizational, and analytical skills
  • Proven success managing complex programs with multiple stakeholders
  • Expertise in risk management, capacity planning, and strategic alignment
