We are looking for a professional who can solve architectural puzzles and elevate technical program management standards across a global organization.
What you’ll do
Lead complex technical programs from inception to delivery, resolving cross-team dependencies and evaluating risks in real-time.
Partner with engineering leads to conceptualize architectural solutions and translate product visions into detailed execution roadmaps and resource plans.
Drive execution velocity by identifying systemic bottlenecks, managing escalations, and removing obstacles to maintain project momentum.
Champion engineering and operational excellence, implementing continuous improvements to program management processes.
Navigate high-stakes ambiguity by balancing priorities across diverse stakeholders, including leadership, technical teams, and legal/compliance partners.
Use a data-driven approach to define program KPIs, track progress, and provide actionable insights for decision-making.
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of experience in technical program management or software development leadership.
Experience shipping large-scale programs while managing scheduling, resource planning, and stakeholder communication for senior-level audiences.
Technical aptitude with the ability to understand distributed systems and translate technical issues into prioritized actions.
Experience predicting execution risks and building data-backed proposals to achieve team alignment.
Experience with the product development lifecycle, including creating technical documentation (such as PRDs or ERDs).
Experience driving efficiencies through process definition, runbooks, or tooling automation.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Management Information Systems, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience).
Excellent communication in English and interpersonal skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Background in software engineering or engineering management, specifically within online delivery or logistics business models.
Experience with data analytics tools (e.g., SQL, Python, Tableau) to drive analysis and automation.
Professional certifications such as PMP, CISA, CISSP, or CIA.
