Cosm is seeking an experienced Technical Program Manager to drive the successful delivery of our most critical venue deployment initiatives. In this role, you will lead the coordination and execution of complex, multi-disciplinary technology programs while building scalable processes.

You are a seasoned program manager who combines disciplined execution with strategic thinking. You bring deep expertise managing large-scale technical implementations across multiple domains and have proven success leading cross-functional teams through ambiguity, conflicting priorities, and high-pressure delivery environments.

Reporting to the Director of Technical Program Management, you will work closely with our Venue Deployment, Product, Engineering, and Operations teams to ensure venue deployments are executed smoothly, on schedule, and with high quality. You will serve as a cultural model for transparent risk management, proactive problem-solving, and business ownership - helping to transform how Cosm approaches complex technical programs.
