Senior Technical Program Manager

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join our Product Development Organization. You will lead large-scale, cross-functional initiatives across our Legal Marketing brands - Avvo, Find Law, Superlawyers, Martindale-Hubbell,  - where AI agents and tooling absorb the recurring program-management work that used to require entire program teams, and your time is reserved for the strategic judgment, executive communication, and cross-functional trust-building that AI cannot replace.

This is an AI-first role. You will operate under a "prove AI can't do it" gating principle: AI is the default solution for recurring TPM workflows, and people, meetings, and processes are added only after we have demonstrated AI cannot do the work. You drive your programs with AI tooling at the center - using it, shaping it in partnership with engineering, and owning the quality bar for what your program puts in front of stakeholders.

You will be a strong self-starter with a bias for action - resourceful when tools or data are incomplete, persistent in clearing roadblocks for your team, and comfortable rolling up your sleeves to make progress when the path isn't obvious. You bring a track record of leading medium to large projects using agile methodologies, deep skill in building relationships across an organization, and the judgment that comes from making sound trade-offs between immediate and long-term needs.

You treat AI as a core part of how your programs run, and you understand that as routine work is absorbed by the AI surface, your time shifts to where seniority actually matters.

Primary

Job Responsibilities

* Technical design. Lead solutioning and technical review for your programs, using AI agents that surface unstated assumptions in PRDs, propose architecture options against historical incidents, and generate ADRs from review sessions; partner with engineering on what these agents need to do next.

* Planning. Drive capacity and resource planning, dependency identification, and project schedule development, using planning agents that produce candidate capacity models and schedules from product requirements, team velocity, and sprint history; bring the judgment to resolve plan-versus-capacity trade-offs the system can't decide on its own.

* Scheduling. Own cross-team scheduling for your programs, supported by AI surfaces that detect bottlenecks, model re-sequencing options when dependencies shift, and surface schedule risk; set the policies these surfaces operate under for your program and own the trade-offs when the call becomes strategic.

* Trade-off decisions. Make scope, sequencing, and resourcing trade-offs when the AI surface presents options that require judgment on business impact, organizational context, executive priorities, or partner commitments the system can't see.

* Delivery. Lead program delivery - task planning, scope coverage, cross-team dependency resolution, issue management, and launch quality - supported by agents that draft tickets with acceptance criteria, scan in-flight tickets for scope drift, monitor cross-team dependencies and contract drift, generate launch-readiness scoring, and analyze integration test coverage against critical paths; negotiate priorities, break ties, escalate to leadership, and own the launch quality call.

* Communication. Drive stakeholder communication on project progress, health, risk, and KPI movement on cadence and on demand, using AI-powered status synthesizers, KPI monitors, and risk surfacers; own executive communication on strategic initiatives where the narrative matters as much as the numbers.

* Knowledge management. Lead knowledge management for your program - capture, organize, and distribute feature and system decisions and documentation, leveraging auto-extraction pipelines that draw from tickets, PRs, design docs, and meeting transcripts; help define the schema, evals, and refresh cadence for what your program contributes.

* AI tooling contribution. Actively shape the AI tooling roadmap for your program - propose what to automate next, partner with engineering on design and prioritization, and surface real-world feedback that drives the…
