The AbhiBus website and apps allow users to check amenities provided by bus operators, compare booking fares, check bus timings in the searched route, live tracking of the bus before arrival, cancellation protection options and other facilities. It is the official ticketing partner for several state road transport corporation bus tickets and IRCTC bus bookings.\nAbhiBus is owned and operated by ixigo (Le Travenues Technology Limited), India’s leading OTA for the Next Billion Users. With over 54 crore Annual Active Users in FY25, ixigo offers AI-powered train, flight, bus, and hotel bookings through its platforms - ixigo, ConfirmTkt, and AbhiBus.\n The Role\nWe are looking for a Technology Program Manager who can drive complex, cross-functional technology initiatives from problem definition to execution and delivery.\nThis is not a traditional Scrum Master / Agile Project Manager role.\nYou will work in an environment where requirements evolve, priorities change, teams may not be co-located, and there isn't always a well-defined process or single owner for every dependency.\nYour job will be to bring clarity, structure and momentum to these situations.\nYou will work closely with Product, Engineering, Design, Data, Operations and external technology partners to ensure that complex initiatives move forward and eventually reach production.\nWhat You Will Do\nDrive end-to-end technology programs - translate high-level objectives into clear plans, milestones, dependencies and execution paths.\nNavigate complex technical dependencies across multiple engineering teams, services, platforms and third-party systems.\nWork closely with engineering leads to understand architecture, APIs, data flows, system dependencies and technical constraints well enough to identify execution risks early.\nIdentify the critical path for programs and continuously remove blockers that could impact delivery.\nCoordinate execution across distributed and non-co-located teams, ensuring alignment without relying purely on formal processes.\nBring structure to ambiguous problems - figure out what needs to happen, who needs to be involved and how we get from where we are today to the desired outcome.\nIdentify risks, dependencies and decisions proactively rather than waiting for issues to surface.\nFacilitate discussions between teams when there are conflicting priorities, unclear ownership or competing technical approaches.\nPartner with Product Managers and Engineering Managers to convert product/business objectives into executable technology plans.\nMaintain program visibility for leadership - what is on track, what is blocked, why it is blocked and what decisions are required.\nManage execution across multiple parallel workstreams without becoming a task tracker.\nWork with external vendors/partners where technology integration or operational dependencies are involved.\nEstablish lightweight processes where needed - but avoid adding process for the sake of process.\n 3-5 years of experience in Technical Program Management, Product Operations, Engineering Program Management, Technology Consulting or a similar role.\nStrong understanding of software development and technology systems. You don't need to be a coder, but you should be comfortable discussing APIs, databases, services, integrations, data flows, releases and system dependencies with engineers.\nDemonstrated experience driving cross-functional technology initiatives involving multiple teams.\nStrong ability to understand technical dependencies and identify risks before they become delivery problems.\nComfortable working with ambiguity, changing priorities and incomplete information.\nExcellent stakeholder management and communication skills, particularly across teams with different priorities.\nAbility to operate effectively with distributed / geographically dispersed engineering teams.\nStrong ownership mindset - you see a problem through to resolution rather than simply escalating it.\nStrong analytical and problem-solving skills.\nAbility to operate in a high-paced startup environment where processes are evolving continuously.\nNice to Have\nExperience working in a consumer internet, marketplace, OTA, fintech, mobility or other high-scale technology environment.\nExperience working with microservices, APIs, cloud infrastructure or data platforms.\nEngineering / Computer Science background.\nExperience working with external technology vendors or partners.\nExperience managing programs involving multiple engineering teams and complex integrations.\nExperience in an environment where Product and Engineering operate with high autonomy and lightweight processes.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nAfter 6 months, you should be the person teams rely on to answer:\nWhat exactly are we trying to deliver?\nWhich teams and systems are involved?\nWhat are the critical dependencies?\nWhat is blocking us?\nWho needs to make a decision?\nWhat can derail the program?\nWhat needs to happen next?\nYou don't need to create more meetings or more status reports.\nYou need to make complex things happen.\n Candidates are responsible for safeguarding sensitive company data against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure, and for reporting any suspected security incidents in line with the organization's ISMS (Information Security Management System) policies and procedures.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5554,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Ticketing","Travel Technology"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T22:24:55Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":19,"reasons":["conf:31","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-03T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/abhibus-program-manager-technology","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/abhibus-program-manager-technology.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-04T03:01:51Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4584,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":416,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-05T00:00:00Z"}}}
