Key job responsibilities
The right candidate should possess a strong program management background, have experience leading large/complex/cross-Org. projects, build trust with stakeholders, and have a well-rounded technical background.

As a Sr. Technical Program Manager, your responsibilities will include writing specifications, driving project schedules from design to release, managing the production launch for a product/feature, and using metrics to provide status along the way. You will lead and coordinate design and implementation efforts, coordinating across multiple teams to develop optimal solutions. You will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. You must be able to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment, destroy limits to scale, and not be hindered by ambiguity or competing priorities. This means you are able to develop and drive high-level strategic initiatives while rolling up your sleeves to get the job done. This role will require high judgement on how we can deliver for customers in both the short- and long-term.

Work with key stakeholders in product management and executive teams to define strategy and requirements.

Use your leadership abilities to drive cross functional development on new solutions from design through delivery.

Work with remote teams to deliver supporting software and services in sync with launch timelines.

Communicate regularly with senior management on status, risks and change control.
