Job description

Our Company

At Teradata, we believe that people thrive when empowered with better information. Teradata Autonomous Knowledge Platform activates enterprise intelligence by unifying data, knowledge and business context to achieve tangible outcomes. With Teradata, organizations can provide agents with full context for impact when it matters. Our solution lets businesses connect and scale on premises, in the cloud, or through a hybrid approach. Teradata delivers real business value with AI.

What You'll Do

As a Staff Technical Program Manager at Teradata, you will drive delivery of significant, multi-team technical programs across Teradata's product portfolio, owning execution from kickoff through launch while building strong relationships with engineering, product, and business partners.

• Own planning, execution, and delivery tracking for complex technical programs spanning multiple engineering teams and product areas.

• Build and maintain detailed program plans, dependency maps, risk registers, and milestone tracking dashboards.

• Facilitate cross-team coordination and decision-making to keep programs on track — running standups, program syncs, and steering reviews.

• Translate technical program status into crisp stakeholder updates for product leadership and senior engineering audiences.

• Identify and elevate delivery risks early; lead focused retrospectives to drive continuous process improvement.

• Coordinate launch readiness activities across engineering, QA, documentation, support, and go-to-market teams.

• Support data-driven prioritization by maintaining program metrics and surfacing trade-off analysis to product and engineering leadership.

• Apply foundational AI skills to explore and implement ways AI can enhance productivity, innovation, and impact across our workforce.

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.

What Makes You a Qualified Candidate

• 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.

• Strong working knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), data systems, or SaaS product delivery cycles.

• Hands-on experience with Agile delivery methodologies, sprint planning, and program-level tracking tools.

• Excellent communication and facilitation skills — able to run effective meetings, surface issues clearly, and write crisp status reports.

• Foundational AI skills and the ability to understand how AI can be applied to improve outcomes in your area of expertise.

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with data warehousing, SQL analytics, or cloud data infrastructure concepts.

• Experience coordinating programs that span US and international engineering teams (India experience a plus).

• 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.
