The Experience

We are seeking a Technology Program Management Director to lead strategic program development, roadmap planning, and execution across our engineering organization. This leader will partner closely with engineering leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to translate strategic priorities into clear, executable programs and ensure our most important initiatives deliver measurable outcomes.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical fluency with exceptional program leadership, strategic planning, and organizational influence. They are comfortable operating in ambiguity, bringing structure to complex initiatives, and driving alignment across multiple teams and stakeholders without relying on direct authority.

This is not a traditional project management role. The Technology Program Management Director will help shape what we prioritize, how initiatives come together into a cohesive roadmap, and how we execute against that roadmap at scale.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing Program & Roadmap Development

Portfolio & Operating Management
  • Develop an integrated view of the organization's strategic portfolio, including priorities, timelines, risks, and resource considerations.

  • Establish consistent operating cadences for roadmap reviews, program reviews, and leadership decision-making.

  • Track progress against strategic commitments and surface areas requiring leadership attention or intervention.

  • Help evolve planning and execution practices as the organization scales.

  • Drive accountability for decisions, commitments, and follow-through across participating teams.

Executive Communication & Stakeholder Management
  • Serve as a trusted partner to senior engineering leadership.

  • Create clear, concise executive-level communications that…
