• Develop processes to improve efficiency across the division.
• Prior experience as a Technical Program Manager (TPgM).
• Experience working on technical cross-functional programs at a larger organization.
• Attention to detail and strong demonstrated written communication skills.
• Technical ability and willingness to learn quickly including managing our handbook with git.
• Ability to independently problem solve and create strategic relationships across the organization.
• Experience collaborating closely with stakeholders across product, marketing, sales, and legal.
