Full Job Posting
Role Overview
- This is a high impact leadership role at the heart of a fast growing, globally distributed engineering organization.
- You will be responsible for defining and scaling the Technical Program Management function from the ground up, shaping how complex, cross functional work is executed across Engineering, Product, and Design.
- Acting as a key operator and strategic partner, you will design the systems, standards, and operating model that enable teams to deliver reliably at scale.
- You will also build and lead a small but high performing TPM team, setting the bar for execution excellence.
Accountabilities
- Build and scale the Technical Program Management function, defining its operating model, standards, engagement patterns, and long term structure across the organization.
- Manage and mentor a growing team of senior TPMs, setting expectations, maintaining quality, and preventing drift into administrative or status collection work.
- Design and own the cross functional execution framework between Engineering, Product, Design, Customer Success, Support, GTM, and PMM, ensuring clear ownership, dependencies, and escalation paths.
- Define and implement the company wide standard for project execution and management within tools such as Linear, including structure, tagging, milestone conventions, and program visibility.
- Lead the dependency mapping and launch readiness for large scale, multi team initiatives spanning multiple engineering groups and downstream business functions.
- Establish program level visibility systems that enable leadership to understand execution health without adding unnecessary operational overhead to teams.
- Partner closely with Engineering Managers and functional leaders to reinforce accountability and ensure TPMs act as enablers of delivery systems, not substitutes for team ownership.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or equivalent delivery leadership roles within high growth, distributed software organizations.
- Proven experience building, scaling, or transforming a TPM function, including managing senior level TPMs and setting organizational standards.
- Strong technical fluency, with the ability to understand architecture, evaluate engineering trade offs, and engage credibly with senior engineering stakeholders.
- Demonstrated success designing and operating cross functional execution systems between engineering and go to market or customer facing teams.
- Deep experience with project management systems such as Linear or Jira, including defining or enforcing standards across multiple teams.
- Strong point of view on TPM vs PMO boundaries and the ability to avoid administrative or “hygiene only” operating models.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, particularly in asynchronous, globally distributed environments.
- High judgment, autonomy, and ability to influence without formal authority across senior stakeholders.
Benefits
- Fully remote first work model with flexibility to work from anywhere in the world.
- Co working support or WeWork membership to enable productive remote collaboration.
- Equity participation (ESOP), allowing you to share in the long term success of the company.
- Comprehensive health coverage, including full employee coverage and partial dependent coverage.
- Annual company off sites in international locations for in person collaboration and connection.
- Flexible working culture built around asynchronous communication and outcome ownership.
- Annual learning and development budget for courses, conferences, books, and professional growth.
- Technology allowance to equip your ideal work setup.
