• Define and institutionalize organization‑wide program management frameworks, operating rhythms, and governance models
• Remove structural blockers that impede execution across teams and domains
• Shape architectural conversations by applying deep technical understanding to sequencing, trade‑offs, and long‑term platform implications
• Drive executive‑level communication, crafting concise, decision‑ready narratives and scenario‑based options
• Mentor and coach Staff and Senior TPMs, raising the bar for execution excellence across the organization
• Serve as a trusted advisor to Directors and VPs on delivery health, risk posture, and prioritization

What You’ll Need

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Business Management, or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years (or equivalent impact) leading complex, cross‑organizational technical programs
• Proven experience delivering and maintaining software at scale to millions of active users
• Strong architectural literacy across multiple systems and platforms
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders without direct authority
• Experience defining execution frameworks and operating rhythms at organizational scale
• Exceptional communication skills, including executive‑level storytelling and decision framing
• Ability to operate effectively in fast‑paced, ambiguous environments
• Experience with automation and/or AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.
• Must have legal right to work in the U.S.
