About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Operate as an embedded PDLC practitioner, modeling the framework and helping cross-functional partners understand why it exists and how to use it
  • Coach engineering and product management team members on PDLC practices by meeting them where they are, not where the playbook says they should be
  • Build trust through consistency, follow-through, and genuine partnership, not process authority
  • Communicate the value of the PDLC to engineering clearly and often: reduced context-switching, clearer scope handoffs, fewer rebuilds, better predictability
  • Partner with the VP of PgM to build, document, and refine processes, templates, stage gate criteria, and governance standards
  • Develop and maintain playbooks and documentation that make the PDLC accessible across Product Management and Engineering
  • Translate on-the-ground experience into framework improvements
  • Own the full lifecycle of assigned programs from Discovery through Grow: scope, timelines, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables at every stage
  • Build program plans that give Product Management, Engineering, Design, QA, and Go-to-Market a shared view of what is happening, what is next, and who owns what
  • Stay ahead of risks and blockers; bring well-reasoned options to the VP before problems compound
  • Facilitate kick-offs, stage gate reviews, cross-functional syncs, and retrospectives to drive clear outcomes and documented next steps every time
  • Serve as the day-to-day coordination point between Product Management, Engineering, Design, QA, and Go-to-Market for programs in your portfolio
  • Surface and resolve cross-team misalignments and dependency conflicts before they impact delivery
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date program documentation throughout the full lifecycle
  • Treat documentation as a core part of program quality in order to make programs reproducible, learnable, and increasingly agent-ready

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 5-8 years of program management experience in software, at the program level across multiple teams
  • Cross-functional programs through multiple phases of a product or software development lifecycle

  • Participated in or drove a process or operating model change
  • Fluency with Atlassian (Jira/Confluence), Notion, and/or Adobe Workfront
  • B2B SaaS or enterprise software experience strongly preferred
  • **Preferred Experience**
  • Dual-track agile, Shape Up, OKR-based planning, or similar lean frameworks
  • Product management discovery concepts: opportunity mapping, user story mapping, hypothesis-driven development
  • Supported both product management and engineering within the same organization
  • High-growth or PE-backed software environment
  • **Skills and Attributes**
  • Drives alignment through credibility and partnership, not role authority
  • Understands why a process step exists and can explain it plainly to skeptical teams
  • Decomposes complex initiatives into legible phases without over-engineering
  • Genuinely curious about AI and already using it
  • Treats friction as information, not failure
  • Cares about the outcome more than the credit

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required
  • PMP, CSM, PMI-ACP, or equivalent a plus
