(Senior) Technical Program Manager

As (Senior) Technical Program Manager, you’ll own project management across a diverse set of programs from customer‑facing commitments and requirements to grant‑funded projects and internal cross‑functional initiatives. You’ll build and run the project management system: processes, planning, reporting, risk management, and delivery rhythm.

You will partner closely with Engineering Leads and engineers, Product, Operations, and leadership to ensure we hit milestones, communicate clearly, and deliver reliably.

• Own delivery across multiple project types, including:
  • customer requirements, delivery timelines, and deployment commitments
  • internal cross‑functional programs

• Strong track record of driving complex, dependency‑heavy programs to completion, balancing speed, quality, and stakeholder alignment.
