This role sits at the center of Account Management, Development, Customer Service, and Analytics and owns how work gets defined, structured, and delivered.\nYou will take loosely defined ideas, client needs, or internal requests and turn them into clear, actionable plans that are ready for development. You reduce noise, remove ambiguity, and ensure teams are aligned and moving.\nThis role is critical to protecting delivery quality, timelines, and margin while reducing the day-to-day execution burden on leadership.\nWhat You’ll Do\nTurn incomplete or ambiguous inputs into clear, structured execution plans\nLead discovery conversations and define requirements, system impacts, dependencies, and risks\nTranslate business needs into technical solutions, including wireframes, system flows, and build-ready documentation\nOwn scopes of work (SOWs), change requests, and backlog prioritization\nCoordinate across Account Management, Development, and Customer Service to ensure aligned execution\nMake prioritization decisions across competing initiatives using clear frameworks (impact, effort, urgency)\nEvaluate solutions with awareness of cost, effort, and margin impact\nHold cross-functional teams accountable to timelines, deliverables, and quality standards\nIdentify and resolve risks early across delivery, systems, and scope\nAct as the final “clear-to-build” checkpoint before development begins\nDrive AI-forward operational strategy by improving workflows, reducing operational friction, and identifying scalable execution opportunities through practical AI adoption\nWhat You Bring\nStrong understanding of APIs, data flows, and integrated systems (CMS, CRM, ESP, analytics tools like GA4/GTM)\nAbility to translate complex ideas into structured plans, wireframes, and system-level thinking\nExperience operating in fast-paced, multi-client or agency environments\nConfidence in leading conversations with both technical and non-technical stakeholders\nStrong decision-making skills and comfort prioritizing across competing demands\nHigh ownership mindset: you don’t wait for direction, you create clarity\nAbility to drive execution across teams without direct authority\nWhat Success Looks Like\nProjects are clearly defined, scoped, and ready for development without executive involvement\nTeams are aligned and executing efficiently with minimal confusion or rework\nDelivery stays on track and within scope\nRisks and gaps are identified early and addressed proactively\nLeadership is pulled in only for high-impact decisions-not day-to-day execution\nWhy This Role Matters\nThis role is a force multiplier. When successful, it creates clarity across the organization, improves delivery consistency, protects margins, and allows leadership to focus on growth instead of execution.\nExperience & Qualifications\nExperience: 5-10+ years of experience in technical program management, technical operations, or similar execution-focused roles\nEnvironment: Experience in a digital agency, product, or fast-paced multi-client environment strongly preferred\nExecution: Proven track record of taking ambiguous requirements and turning them into structured, executable plans\n Systems Knowledge: Strong experience working across integrated systems, including APIs, data flows, CMS platforms, CRM systems, and ESPs (Email Service Providers such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Mailchimp)\nDocumentation: Hands-on experience creating SOWs, technical documentation, system flows, and wireframes that enable development teams to execute\nLeadership: Demonstrated ability to lead discovery conversations and define scope across technical and non-technical stakeholders\nManagement: Experience prioritizing and managing backlogs across multiple concurrent projects\n Technical Acumen: Strong understanding of web development processes and modern platforms (e.g., WordPress, Shopify, or custom frameworks)\nInfluence: Proven ability to make decisions and drive execution across teams without direct authority\n Commercial Lens: Experience evaluating work through a commercial lens (effort, cost, margin, tradeoffs)\nCommunication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise, client-ready documentation\nLocation & Work Style\nThis is an in-person role based in The Woodlands, TX\nMust be able to work on-site regularly and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams\nPreference for candidates located in the Greater Houston area\nEducation (Flexible)\nBachelor’s degree in a related field (Computer Science, Information Systems, Business, or similar) preferred\nEquivalent practical experience is equally valued. This role prioritizes capability and execution over formal credentials","description_format":"text","description_chars":4851,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales & Marketing","Creative Agencies","Digital Marketing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T07:18:47Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.272,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":142,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T07:18:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10931,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1890034},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1890034"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbubbleup-senior-technical-program-manager"}]}
