WhoYou'll Work With

You will work as an embedded delivery partner within Teradata's Product organization, collaborating daily with:

• Product Managers and Principal TPMs to align delivery timelines with roadmap commitments.

• Engineering managers, tech leads, and QA teams across Vantage platform, cloud services, and analytics product areas.

• Design, Technical Writing, Support, and Marketing teams to coordinate end-to-end feature delivery and launch readiness.

• Finance and TA partners on program-level resourcing and onboarding coordination for growing engineering teams.

Collaborate with colleagues who share a commitment to leveraging AI responsibly, ensuring our people and customers benefit from the opportunities AI creates.

• 6+ years of technical program management experience, including at least 3 years in enterprise software, cloud infrastructure, or data analytics.

• Demonstrated experience managing multi-team delivery programs involving engineering teams of 20 or more.

• Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, Smartsheet, or similar delivery management tools.

• Background in enterprise SaaS, B2B analytics, or open-source data ecosystem delivery preferred.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail - you keep complex programs tidy and stakeholders informed.

• Ability to build trust quickly with engineers and product managers; seen as a reliable execution partner rather than a process overhead.

• A passion for how AI can unlock potential to help our teams, our customers, and our communities achieve great things.
