You are an experienced Technical Program Management leader with deep knowledge of enterprise products and startup dynamics. You bring a unique mix of strategic foresight and hands-on expertise, with a history of partnering across cross-functional teams – from product and engineering to GTM – to deliver exceptional results for clients and partners. Your experience gives you both the flexibility to thrive in a fast-paced environment, and ability to help an organization scale by implementing processes and organizing people. You have the business acumen to align company objectives to project goals; a demeanor that allows you to easily rally and organize teams around a shared effort; and the internal drive to ensure initiatives are done right and on time – no matter what.

Responsibilities

Release Management: Own release management processes — coordinating cross-functional readiness, ensuring quality gates are met, and driving alignment across Product, Engineering, QA, and GTM to enable smooth, timely, and high-quality releases.
Sprint Planning: Drive quarterly and sprint planning cadences, track cross-functional dependencies, and escalate risks or blockers early to keep teams moving. Lead sprint planning sessions with clear goal-setting, resource alignment, and prioritization to drive focused and effective delivery.
Sprint Efficiency & Metrics: Monitor and present sprint efficiency metrics to inform performance reviews, support data-driven feedback, and drive continuous improvement within teams.
Workflow & Ticket Management: Ensure all project tickets are well-documented, accurately estimated with story points, and follow defined workflows to support efficient and transparent execution across teams.
Product Delivery Tracking & Communication: Ensure transparency and predictability around delivery timelines. Maintain transparent, up-to-date insights into project status and risks, enabling stakeholders to understand progress and any bottlenecks at a glance.
OKR Execution: Partner with Product & Engineering leaders to ensure the successful execution of team OKRs by aligning initiatives with organizational priorities and broader business objectives, and helping to break them down into milestones and tasks.
Agile Best Practices: Own the Agile process. Ensure it's well documented, understood, and operationalized with measurable constructs (e.g. entry/exit criteria). Coach team members on best practices, remove systemic blockers, and promote psychological safety, self-organization, and team accountability.
Process & Governance: Establish and scale program management frameworks, tools, and best practices. Develop consistent processes for tracking execution, measuring impact, and reporting results across teams and initiatives.
