We’re looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join the Enterprise Technology team to drive impactful projects across our diverse portfolio. Our TPMs are responsible for managing the full lifecycle of projects and programs — from project kick‑off and planning to execution and closure.

• Proactively detect misalignment and risk; gain consensus on appropriate actions to mitigate negative impact.
• Participate in expansion of existing footprint to bring in new technologies, conducting build vs buy analysis, building and responding to RFPs, evaluating tooling and onboarding them.
• Ensure creation, prioritization and update of the GTM project roadmap and sequence roadmap work to maximize velocity.

About you:

• 8+ years in senior project/program management roles with proven experience in leading complex projects for GTM, Finance, Sales, Marketing, and/or enterprise data business functions
• Solid understanding of customer success systems: ServiceCloud, Experience Cloud, Partner Relationship Management, Salesforce CRM, Netsuite, Marketo, Segment CDP, Support chatbot and how they support business operations
• Balance a program workload and staffing according to project/program and organizational priorities and goals
• Have a solid understanding of the SaaS business model and specifically how a customer success, sales, marketing, and finance org functions. Deep understanding of E2E customer lifecycle from discovery, trial, purchase, adopt, and renew.
• Experience with CRM platforms like Salesforce.com, peripheral apps that integrate to it and how these support business processes, as well as customer success and sales applications
• Deep experience in driving projects in an agile/scrum, waterfall or hybrid environment.
• Demonstrated experience in all phases of both the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and non‑technology project lifecycle, including identification of business problems, development of business cases and project plans, and project management and closeout.
• Demonstrated curiosity about AI tools and emerging technologies, with a willingness to learn and leverage them to enhance productivity, collaboration, or decision‑making
• You build strong relationships and trust with stakeholders, keeping them and their teams engaged
