About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own cross-team programs and be accountable for their outcomes and impact-setting direction, clarifying ownership, and helping leaders make informed tradeoff decisions.
Contribute technically by partnering with engineering leaders to define system boundaries, APIs, and integration patterns, and by decomposing complex, ambiguous problems into clear workstreams, milestones, and deliverables that minimize redundant engineering effort.
Orchestrate delivery across multiple engineering organizations, ensuring dependencies are understood, sequenced appropriately, and proactively managed.
Build tooling and mechanisms for the whole organization-developing agentic solutions for risk management, dependency tracking, and program health -and partner with our Program Management team to scale that tooling across all engineering teams and our AI SDLC.
Increase predictability through integrated roadmaps, delivery plans, and program health metrics that provide clear visibility into progress, risks, and milestones.
Identify and mitigate risk by recognizing failure patterns, steering teams away from prior pitfalls, and proactively resolving cross-team blockers.
Drive organizational and architectural evolution that enables teams to work independently while delivering cohesive customer experiences.
Communicate with executives by representing complex technical decisions and tradeoffs clearly to leadership, building consensus across organizations with competing priorities.
Influence investment by making the case for technology investments, securing commitments from partner teams, and ensuring appropriate staffing for critical workstreams.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or equivalent experience.
7+ years working directly with engineering teams, and 5+ years applying core project management disciplines-scope, schedule, budget, quality, along with risk and critical-path management.
Demonstrated success owning complex technical initiatives across multiple engineering organizations, where accountability for outcomes-not authority over teams-was the job.
Deep, hands-on understanding of modern software development practices, APIs, distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and Agile delivery, with the ability to contribute to technical solutions.
Experience building or applying AI/agentic tooling to improve engineering planning, delivery, or operational efficiency.
Experience building processes and mechanisms for cross-team coordination, dependency management, resource planning, and release scheduling across multiple concurrent programs.
Experience partnering with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Architects, and technical leaders to deliver complex software initiatives.
Outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills, including experience presenting risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to engineering leadership.
A builder's mindset - someone who thrives on standing up new practices rather than maintaining the status quo - paired with systems thinking and a passion for improving how engineering organizations work together.
