Job description

About the Role

The Platform team builds the foundations the rest of Taktile depends on reliability, security, developer experience, and the infrastructure that makes us enterprise-ready. As our Technical Program Manager, you'll be the connective tissue across these efforts: taking our most complex, cross-functional initiatives and turning them into sequenced plans with clear owners, dates, and measurable outcomes.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with engineers, EMs, Product, Security, Sales, and Legal driving Enterprise readiness, quarterbacking audit and compliance programs. You operate written-first and low-overhead: fewer meetings, more clarity. You're comfortable holding senior ICs and EMs accountable, and technical enough to challenge engineering trade-offs credibly. If you like owning ambiguous, high-stakes programs end-to-end and being measured by what actually ships, this is the role for you.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end program management for 3–5 cross-functional initiatives at any time.
• Drive Enterprise readiness program (features, certifications, contracts) across Platform/Product/Sales.
• Quarterback Security programs (audit prep, residual risk burn-down, customer security questionnaires).
• Steer the AI enablement rollout across functions with the AI Tooling Eng.

Requirements

• 3+ yrs TPM at a SaaS company; has owned multi-team programs end-to-end.
• Writes well, drives meetings, builds dashboards — operates with low overhead.
• Comfort holding senior ICs and EMs accountable
• Deep enough to challenge engineering trade-offs,
• Strong English (written + spoken).

Ideal, but not required

• B2B SaaS / Enterprise / fintech background.
• Has run an audit prep (SOC 2 / ISO) program.
• Familiar with Linear, Notion, Slack as the operating stack.

What We Offer

• Work with colleagues that lift you up, challenge you, celebrate you and help you grow. We come from many different backgrounds, but what we have in common is the desire to operate at the very top of our fields. If you are similarly capable, caring, and driven, you'll find yourself at home here.
• Make an impact and meaningfully shape an early-stage company.
• Experience a truly flat hierarchy and communicate directly with founding team members. Having an opinion and voicing your ideas is not only welcome but encouraged, especially when they challenge the status quo.
• Learn from experienced mentors and achieve tremendous personal and professional growth. Get to know and leverage our network of leading tech investors and advisors around the globe.
• Receive a top-of-market equity and cash compensation package.
• Get access to a self-development budget you can use to e.g. attend conferences, buy books or take classes.
• Use the equipment of your choice including meaningful home office set-up.
