About the role
As a Senior Technical Program Manager in the IDE Department, you will lead high-complexity cross-team technical programs within your domain, ranging from major feature rollouts and technical refactoring to product sunsets. You will partner with product, engineering, quality, and service teams to align on scope, timelines, dependencies, and risk mitigation without infringing on their decision-making authority. In addition to orchestrating programs and verifying execution health on the ground, you will mentor other program leads and contribute to wider PMO strategic priorities.
What you'll do
- Lead complex cross-team technical programs and initiatives within the IDE domain from inception to delivery.
- Define program goals, scope, key milestones, dependencies, and resourcing requirements alongside product and engineering teams.
- Proactively detect risks, bottlenecks, and capacity constraints, driving mitigations and serving as the senior PMO escalation point.
- Verify execution health and progress directly rather than relying solely on passive status reports.
- Coach TPMs and part-time program leads across the department to enhance overall execution discipline.
What you bring
- At least 5 years of technical program or project management experience within the tech industry.
- Proven track record delivering complex software programs and cross-team initiatives end-to-end.
- Strong technical depth to evaluate feasibility, dependencies, and delivery risk alongside software developers.
- Demonstrated ability to influence without direct authority and navigate cross-functional escalations.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
