Senior Technical Program Manager

Scribd, Inc. is on a mission to advance human understanding. Our four products — Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable — help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise.

We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.

We believe the best work happens when individual flexibility is balanced with meaningful community connection. Scribd Flex empowers employees to choose the workstyle and location that support their best performance, while committing to intentional in-person moments that strengthen collaboration and culture. Occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd, Inc. employees, regardless of location.

Our TPM (Technical Program Management) team owns the frameworks and programs that drive how our Engineering, Product, Design, and Analytics (EPDA) organization plans, prioritizes, and executes.

As a Senior TPM, you will own program strategy and execution across two of the pillars Scribd relies on to run soundly and decide well: one that develops the critical payments, risk, identity, security, and accounting systems that keep the business running compliantly, and one that builds the reporting, experimentation, and data products that sharpen how the whole company makes decisions.

You will drive the roadmap across both, connect them to the teams and leaders that depend on them, and bring a builder's instinct to the work, using AI to design better ways of running these programs. This is a broad, technical, high‑stakes mandate, and a chance to shape how the company's backbone runs.

You are a thoughtful opinionator: you hold strong, well‑reasoned views and are capable of voicing them respectfully to anyone, at any level. You are a proactive communicator who identifies possible problems before they surface.

You are a relationship builder and organizational navigator at heart, adept at building bridges across teams and functions. You are comfortable working with technical, backend teams, able to follow the substance and hold your own with the subject matter experts you partner with.

You are already working with AI, and you have a point of view on where the TPM craft is headed in an increasingly agentic world. You have changed how you operate because of it.

You are a continuous learner with a growth mindset and an appetite for unfamiliar problems. Lastly, you are a voracious reader with a passion for books and the written and spoken word in all its forms!
