Role Overview

The Lead Technical Program Manager is responsible for driving the delivery of highly complex programs that align with strategic business priorities. This role requires expert-level management of stakeholder expectations across technical and business domains, with clear and confident communication at all levels.

Drive delivery of highly complex, cross-functional technical programs that align with strategic business priorities.
Lead program planning, roadmap definition, and execution across multiple workstreams, ensuring on-time and on-budget delivery.
Manage stakeholder expectations across technical and business domains, providing clear, confident, and tailored communication at all levels.

Facilitate cross-team coordination, ensuring alignment, dependency management, and effective collaboration in a matrixed environment.
Identify, track, and communicate program metrics and KPIs to guide decision-making throughout the program lifecycle.
Proactively remove roadblocks, escalate issues, and leverage organizational resources to keep teams moving toward commitments.
Own risk, dependency, and change management for complex technical programs, including mitigation and contingency planning.
Champion best practices in program management, agile methodologies, governance, and operational excellence.
Build and maintain strong relationships with senior leadership, engineering teams, and external partners to drive accountability and outcomes.

You instinctively think in metrics and outcomes, using data to guide decisions, manage risk, and measure program success.
You thrive in a matrixed environment, calmly navigating competing priorities, resolving conflict, and keeping stakeholders aligned.
You care deeply about operational excellence and service quality, and you design programs with the end customer and long-term sustainability in mind.
You enjoy working independently with high ownership, while actively fostering transparency, collaboration, and accountability across teams.

Strong financial and business acumen, including comfort with budget, OpEx/CapEx, and ROI tradeoffs
High ownership, bias for action, and the ability to operate independently with minimal oversight

You might also have:
