Sr. Technical Program Manager

About Philo

At Philo, we’re a group of technology and product people who set out to build the future of television, marrying the best in modern technology with the most compelling medium ever invented — in short, we’re building the TV experience that we’ve always wanted for ourselves. In practice this means leveraging cloud delivery, modern tech stacks, machine learning, and hand‑crafted native app experiences on all of our platforms.

We aim to deliver a rock solid experience on the streaming basics, while cooking up next‑generation multi‑screen and multi‑user playback.

Philo’s Program Management team is the connective tissue that makes our most complex technical and product initiatives actually land. We're a small, high‑leverage function within Business Operations, built to bring structure and execution rigor to cross‑functional work that cuts across Product, Engineering, and the business.

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own end‑to‑end execution of multi‑platform technical programs s is a hands‑on execution role — you’ll be embedded in the product development process, working daily with Product Managers, engineering domain leads, and QA to coordinate rollouts, enforce process standards, and keep complex cross‑team programs on track.

• Own 5–8 active multi‑platform rollouts at any given time (e.g., a new feature that was already proven on Roku now being rolled out to web, iOS, and Android; or billing flow changes across all distribution platforms)
• Drive programs end‑to‑end: scoping, requirements, technical design coordination, implementation tracking, testing, launch, and post‑launch retro
• Build and maintain project schedules, milestone tracking, and dependency maps across engineering domains
• Track sprint and marathon commitments across domain teams; surface blockers early and drive resolution
• Document decisions, action items, and outcomes in Notion; track action items through to completion
• Lead program‑level meetings including kickoffs and cross‑team syncs
• Present program progress in planning meetings and other forums as needed
• Coordinate work across Philo’s engineering domain teams on complex multi‑domain programs
• Ensure platform‑specific requirements are captured and that no surface gets left behind
• Partner with domain leads on what is being prioritized each cycle; identify resource gaps and bottlenecks early
• Coordinate with QA as part of the standard rollout process; testing coordination is part of the job
• Review PRD quality for complex cross‑platform and cross‑domain projects; flag missing requirements before they surface in implementation
• Identify opportunities for better definition or optimization in the development planning process, run quarterly retros on the process, and work with leadership to implement recommended changes
• Complete process administration milestones, e.g., setting up the project database for a new quarter and communicating it out
• Support Philo’s Product Managers with tactical execution, ensuring teams are following established process and that the Project Tracker is consistently accurate
• Build repeatable mechanisms for planning, dependency management, readiness checks, and executive visibility — bring structure without unnecessary process overhead
• Partner daily with the Head of Product and his PMs on what needs coordination; own how that coordination happens
• Coordinate with Engineering leadership on resourcing and launch timelines
• Escalate to the Head of Program Management when blockers cannot be resolved at the program level
• Bridge communication between technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Required

• 10+ years of technical program management experience, with a track record of owning complex, multi‑team software programs end‑to‑end
• Experience at a consumer technology company shipping products across multiple platforms or surfaces (mobile, web, connected TV, or similar)
• Strong grasp of software development lifecycle: you can engage meaningfully with engineers on technical approach, understand system‑level tradeoffs, and facilitate design discussions
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across…
