In this role, you will:

• Lead increasingly complex technical projects across multiple teams, systems, and organizational boundaries.

• Monitor progress against milestones, timelines, specifications, requirements, and budget.
• Create, track, and report on project budgets and delivery status.
• Proactively identify risks and dependencies, lead mitigation planning, and escalate issues with clear recommendations.
• Keep stakeholders informed of progress, decisions, tradeoffs, and schedule changes.
• Facilitate alignment among stakeholders with varied perspectives and coordinate solutions to issues.
• Apply Agile or traditional delivery methods as appropriate; lead and mentor others through Agile ceremonies.
• Support the software and product development lifecycles from planning and requirements through delivery, launch, and adoption.
• Identify process bottlenecks and opportunities to simplify workflows, reuse patterns, and improve efficiency across organizational boundaries.
• Use data, feedback, and retrospectives to evaluate process changes and improve delivery predictability.
• Build stakeholder trust by understanding business challenges, addressing concerns, and communicating a compelling rationale for decisions.

Minimum qualifications

• 4-6 years of relevant experience with a bachelor’s degree, or 3+ years with a master’s degree, in technical program management, project management, software delivery, product development, or a related discipline.
• Experience leading medium-to-complex technical programs across multiple teams, including scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, budget, and success metrics.
• Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle, Agile and traditional delivery methods, and Agile engineering practices.
• Technical fluency across system architecture, APIs, data flows, cloud platforms, dependencies, and operational readiness.
• Ability to use data and metrics to track delivery health, guide prioritization, identify risks, and improve processes.
• Strong planning, organization, problem-solving, systems-thinking, and risk-management skills.
• Ability to align stakeholders, facilitate tradeoff decisions, build trust, and influence without direct authority.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex technical and business information for different audiences.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience supporting platform, infrastructure, cloud modernization, data, cybersecurity, developer productivity, or customer-facing technology projects.
• Experience working in a global, matrixed, or highly regulated environment.
