Stefanini is looking for a Technical Program Manager, Dearborn, MI

We are seeking an Engineering Program Manager (EPM), someone who brings structure to ambiguity and drives delivery clarity across teams. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, build strong partnerships with engineering and program leaders, and ensure work is prioritized and executed with discipline. You are comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical levels: shaping what should be worked on, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring delivery plans, risks, and dependencies are visible and actively managed.

You communicate crisply by writing clear leadership updates and facilitating alignment when tradeoffs are required.

Responsibilities

• Help drive the “system of delivery” and ensure the domain's work is focused on the most important outcomes, aligned to VC&M strategy, and planned and governed consistently.
• Establish structures and mechanisms that enable predictable delivery, including backlog structure, planning artifacts, governance cadence, and reporting hygiene.
• Challenge and de-prioritize work that does not support the strategy or agreed priorities, in partnership with the Technical Program Manager (TPM), Product, and VC&M leadership.
• Co-own the domain backlog structure, PI planning, and domain delivery plan, including scope, milestones, and dependencies, within the strategic framework established by TPMs and leadership.
• Prioritize work within the domain, with Engineering Manager input, to ensure capacity is focused on the highest-value work.
• Drive clarity for cross-team sequencing and integration planning so commitments are realistic and well understood.
• Maintain accurate internal risk and dependency registers; actively drive resolution, mitigation plans, and escalation paths.
• Keep Atlassian artifacts and dashboards up to date so domain and program status is trustworthy and comparable across VC&M.
• Provide clear and timely communications to stakeholders regarding progress, risks, and changes.
• Ensure work has clear acceptance criteria and a defined value or outcome.
• At completion, validate with Engineering and TPMs whether acceptance criteria were met and whether the intended value was delivered.
• Participate in and provide key inputs to the cross-functional work intake discovery process; cascade relevant context to all impacted functions within the domain.
• Apply and help evolve common VC&M standards for discovery, planning, and delivery.
• Ensure the domain “plugs into” the broader VC&M operating model using shared templates and cadences.

Experience Required

• 4 years in IT, Expert-level Project/Program Management experience
• Technical Communication :
  Translate a complex platform migration plan, such as EKS to GCP, into a one-page executive summary that highlights the timeline, risks, and decisions needed without requiring the audience to understand the underlying infrastructure.
• Conflict Management :
  Mediate a priority disagreement between Product and Engineering by facilitating a data-driven tradeoff discussion that results in a mutually agreed split between new feature work and technical‑debt reduction.
• Project Management :
  Identify a critical-path dependency between three teams mid-PI, elevate it with a clear impact assessment, and coordinate a re-sequencing plan that keeps the overall launch date intact.
• Program Management :
  Orchestrate end‑to‑end PI planning across multiple teams by running capacity analysis, facilitating the planning event, negotiating cross-team dependencies, and publishing a committed plan with tiered objectives.
• Project Planning :
  Build an integrated delivery timeline for a feature spanning multiple teams or areas. Identify the critical path, buffer handoff points, and align each team's sprint cadence to avoid idle time between dependent deliverables.
• Jira :
  Enforce backlog…
