As a Sr Technical Program Manager, you will be the connective tissue between strategy and execution for three distinct software development teams. You won’t just be tracking tasks; you’ll be optimizing the engine that builds our products. We are looking for a process-oriented leader who can balance the "big picture" roadmap with the granular details of a JIRA ticket.

- Delivery & Execution Management
- Directly manage the execution lifecycle for three cross-functional software teams.
- Ensure alignment between engineering output and product requirements.
- Identify, track, and mitigate risks and dependencies across teams to prevent bottlenecks.
- Agile Facilitation & Ceremonies
- Schedule and drive all team ceremonies, including Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Retrospectives, and Demos.
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement by using retrospectives to refine team velocity and quality.
- JIRA Power User & Process Architect
- Own the configuration and hygiene of JIRA boards, workflows, and automation.
- Establish standardized reporting structures (dashboards, burndown charts, and velocity trackers) to provide real-time visibility into work-in-progress (WIP).
- Backlog & Triage Leadership
- Drive the request triage process, ensuring incoming bugs and feature requests are evaluated and routed efficiently.
- Partner with Product Managers to lead backlog grooming and prioritization sessions, ensuring the engineering team is always working on the highest-value tasks.
- Communication & Visibility
- Translate technical progress into clear status updates for stakeholders.
- Act as the primary point of contact for project health, resource allocation, and delivery timelines.
Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years of experience in technical program/project management, specifically overseeing multiple software engineering teams.
- Technical Fluency: A strong understanding of the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) and the ability to engage in technical discussions with engineers.
- JIRA Expertise: Advanced knowledge of JIRA/Confluence (configuring custom workflows, JQL, and reporting).
- Agile Mastery: Deep experience with Scrum, Kanban, or Scrumban methodologies.
- Soft Skills: Exceptional organizational skills and the "social intelligence" to drive consensus among diverse stakeholders without direct authority.
