- Partnering with product and engineering leads to align on roadmaps, capacity, and delivery priorities.
- Supporting technical discovery and scoping by helping clarify requirements, constraints, and trade-offs early in the development lifecycle.
- Promoting operational excellence by maintaining and iterating on frameworks, tools, and rituals that improve how we plan, prioritize, and measure product outcomes — scaling both delivery efficiency and impact.
- Identifying and managing interdependencies across workstreams, proactively unblocking teams to keep programs on track.
- Communicating program status and decisions to stakeholders at all levels with clarity and confidence.
- Facilitating retrospectives and post-launch reviews, turning lessons learned into process improvements.
- Collaborating with other TPMs on cross-cutting initiatives while independently managing assigned programs.
- Supporting teams through change management as tools, processes, and structures evolve.
- Connecting the dots across Product, Engineering, and Design — shaping clarity around what we build, why we build it, and how it delivers measurable value to learners.
What you’ll have
- 4+ years of experience as a Technical Program Manager (or equivalent) in a fast-paced, software-focused organization.
- A track record of delivering successful cross-functional programs with clear outcomes.
- Experience working closely with product and engineering teams, with exposure to design or creative workflows.
- Experience collaborating with business teams such as GTM and Customer Success to drive alignment and execution.
- Proficiency with program management tools such as Jira and Confluence, including configuration for workflows and reporting.
- Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills—you bring structure to complex, ambiguous situations.
- A collaborative, proactive mindset with the ability to roll up your sleeves and help remove blockers.
- Comfort using data and metrics to monitor progress and inform decision-making.
- Ability to manage multiple initiatives in a dynamic, evolving environment.
