Senior Technical Program Manager

About the job

Overview: We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of a complex, cross-functional product workstream. You will operate at the intersection of product, engineering, and stakeholder management, translating strategic priorities into executable plans, removing blockers, and ensuring high-quality delivery at pace.
This is not a coordination role. You will drive programs with ambiguity, make judgment calls under pressure, and hold engineering and QA teams accountable to outcomes, not just timelines.
Requirements

• End-to-end program ownership for an assigned product workstream: from requirements alignment through release and post-launch review
• Cross-functional delivery coordination across Engineering, Project Managers, QA, Design, Business Analysis, and DevOps
• Dependency mapping, risk identification, and proactive mitigation across workstreams
• Stakeholder communication: translating technical progress into clear, decision-ready updates for product and business leadershi
• Release governance: owning go/no-go readiness, release criteria, and deployment coordination
• Escalation management: surfacing blockers early, driving resolution, and maintaining delivery momentum
• Program health reporting via Azure DevOps and Jira: sprint tracking, velocity analysis, milestone burn-down
• Contributing to process improvement across the delivery function

What You Bring

• Proven track record owning complex, multi-team technical programs end-to-end in a senior capacity
• Strong technical fluency: able to engage meaningfully with engineering teams on architecture decisions, technical debt trade-offs, and integration risks without needing to write code
• Experience operating in regulated, compliance-sensitive, or enterprise environments
• Mastery of delivery frameworks: Agile/Scrum, Kanban, and hybrid models applied pragmatically
• Hands-on experience with Azure DevOps and/or Jira at a program level, not just task tracking
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills: able to navigate competing priorities, manage up, and align cross-functional teams without formal authority
• Strong written and verbal communication: comfortable producing exec-level updates and technical documentation equally well
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and making decisions with incomplete information

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• Your workstream ships on time, within scope, with documented quality gates met
• Stakeholders receive proactive updates/reports: surprises are rare, escalations are controlled
• Engineering and QA teams describe you as a force multiplier, not an overhead
• You've identified and resolved systemic delivery risks before they became incidents
• Your program documentation and audit trail are clean and referenceable
