Engineering Program Manager
Success as an Engineering Program Manager (EPM) requires someone who brings structure to ambiguity and drives delivery clarity across teams. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, build strong partnerships with engineering and program leaders, and ensure work is prioritized and executed with discipline. You are comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical levels: shaping what should be worked on, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring delivery plans, risks, and dependencies are visible and actively managed. You communicate crisplywriting clear leadership updates and facilitating alignment when tradeoffs are required.
Key Responsibilities:
- Help drive the "system of delivery" and ensure the domain's work is focused on the most important outcomes, aligned to VC&M strategy, and planned/governed consistently.
- Establish the structures and mechanisms that enable predictable delivery (backlog structure, planning artifacts, governance cadence, reporting hygiene).
- Challenge and de-prioritize work that does not support the strategy or agreed priorities (in partnership with Technical Program Manager (TPM), Product, and VC&M leadership).
- Co-own the domain backlog structure, PI planning, and the domain delivery plan (scope, milestones, dependencies), within the strategic frame set by TPMs and leadership.
- Prioritize within the domain, with Engineering Manager input, to ensure capacity is focused on the highest-value work.
- Drive clarity for cross-team sequencing and integration planning so commitments are realistic and well-understood.
- Maintain accurate internal risk and dependency registers; actively drive resolution, mitigation plans, and escalation paths.
- Keep Atlassian artifacts and dashboards up to date so domain and program status is trustworthy and comparable across VC&M.
- Provide clear, timely communications to stakeholders on progress, risks, and changes.
- Ensure work has a clear acceptance criteria and a defined value/outcome.
- At completion, validate with Engineering and TPMs whether acceptance criteria were met and whether the intended value was delivered.
- Participate and provide key inputs to the cross-functional work intake discovery process; cascade with context to all impacted functions within your domain.
- Apply and help evolve common VC&M standards for discovery, planning, and delivery.
- Ensure the domain "plugs into" the broader VC&M operating model using shared templates and cadences.
How you'll do it:
- Build strong partnerships across engineering, program, product, design, systems, testing, operations, safety/regulatory, release, and quality.
- Drive alignment through clear tradeoffs, documented decisions, and transparent plans.
- Use data and delivery signals (risks, dependencies, throughput/health indicators) to inform priorities and leadership actions.
