• - Design systems by building the tracking, reporting, and escalation mechanisms that surface risk and progress.
• - Build process to ensure launch readiness is predictable, consistent and coordinated across all cross-functional participants.
• - Ask the questions that clarify priority and scope, giving async teams the context to keep building and unblocking.
• - Build trusted relationships with stakeholders and maintain transparency into program goals, commitments, risk and delivery quality, primarily through clear written communication.
• - Identify bottlenecks before they become blockers, develop options to resolve them, and clearly communicate the trade-offs that each option carries.
• - Map dependencies and relationships across projects and teams, coordinating delivery across groups that don’t share reporting lines.
• - Keep Engineering, Product, and Design accountable for their own delivery outcomes while you track, surface risk, and unblock.
• - Develop technical and domain fluency to be an active and credible member of the delivery team and triad.

YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT IF YOU

• - Have 7+ years of experience in technical program management for software, SaaS or systems development environments - A track record of leading large-scale, cross-team software delivery programs to successful completion.
• - Comfort operating in a fully remote, async-first environment - The ability to communicate clearly and quickly build credibility with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive leadership.
• - The ability to influence and drive outcomes through others where no direct reporting relationship exists.
• - Strong attention to detail and a bias toward execution, grounded in data rather than opinion - Have strong technical fluency to self-identify risk in a plan and hold your own with senior engineers on architecture and dependencies.
• - Experience with Linear, Jira, or equivalent tooling at scale.
