About the Role
This is a high-impact leadership position at the core of a fast-growing, globally distributed engineering organization. In this role, you will:
- Define and scale the Technical Program Management (TPM) function from the ground up.
- Shape cross-functional execution across Engineering, Product, and Design.
- Design systems, standards, and the operating model that enables teams to deliver reliably at scale.
- Build and lead a high-performing TPM team, setting the benchmark for execution excellence.
- Require strong technical fluency, sharp organisational judgment, and the ability to thrive in ambiguity while introducing structure to complexity.
- Be an ideal fit for a seasoned leader with proven experience in scaling TPM functions and defining how modern software companies operate at scale.
Accountabilities
- Build and scale the TPM function, defining:
- Operating model, standards, engagement patterns, and long-term structure.
- Lead, mentor, and manage a growing team of senior TPMs, ensuring:
- High-quality performance standards.
- Preventing drift into administrative or status-collecting roles.
- Design and own cross-functional execution frameworks—ensuring clear ownership, dependencies, and escalation paths between:
- Engineering, Product, Design, Customer Success, Support, GTM, and PMM.
- Implement company-wide project execution standards in tools like Linear, covering:
- Structure, tagging, milestone conventions, and program visibility.
- Oversee dependency mapping and launch readiness for large-scale, multi-team initiatives across multiple business functions.
- Establish program-level visibility systems, allowing leadership to track execution health without imposing unnecessary burdens on teams.
- Partner with Engineering Managers and functional leaders to:
- Reinforce accountability and ensure TPMs act as enablers for delivery systems— rather than substitutes for team ownership.
