Technical Program Manager

About Pre Pass

Pre Pass® is North America's most trusted weigh station bypass and toll management platform. We're transforming how the transportation industry operates - creating solutions that keep trucks moving safely, efficiently, and compliantly. This means making bold decisions and building systems that support not only fleets but the broader economy. It all starts with enabling commercial vehicles to keep rolling with seamless toll management, weigh station bypass, and safety solutions.

It's what we do best, and we do it to meet the demands of the road every day.

That's why people join us: our solutions are implemented in real-time, on highways and interstates across the nation, helping fleets go farther, faster. This work challenges and rewards, presenting complex problems that need ambitious answers. We hire bold thinkers with a heart for impact, a passion for progress, and the optimism to shape the future of transportation.

About the Role

As Pre Pass scales from a bypass-and-tolling provider into a unified compliance ecosystem, the complexity of delivering software has grown dramatically. Multiple product lines, a newly acquired codebase, state agency integrations, and partner marketplace commitments all compete for engineering capacity. We're looking for a Technical Program Manager to bring structure, predictability, and cross-team alignment to how we plan, execute, and ship.

This is a high-visibility role working at the intersection of engineering, product, and operations - someone who can translate roadmap ambitions into realistic delivery plans and hold the organization accountable to them.

Unpredictable Release Cadence

Teams building across bypass, tolling, compliance, and hardware-integrated systems operate on different rhythms. Create and maintain a structured release calendar to reduce surprises for customers, state agency partners, and internal stakeholders.

Engineering Capacity Visibility

Leadership needs to make portfolio-level tradeoffs (new integrations vs. platform stability vs. compliance features) but lacks a consistent view of what teams are working on and when it will land.

Cross-Team Dependency Management

A delay in any one integration/update/tool can block multiple teams. Dependencies need owners and visibility.

Essential Responsibilities

• Own the integrated delivery roadmap across Pre Pass product lines: bypass, toll management, safety alerts, INFORM analytics, and compliance.
• Establish and maintain a dependable release schedule, coordinating across engineering, product, QA, and operations.
• Drive program kickoffs, milestone reviews, and retrospectives - creating accountability without unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Translate product roadmap priorities into phased, executable plans with clear owners, timelines, and risk mitigations.

• Map and track cross-team dependencies, escalating blockers before they become delays.
• Facilitate alignment between engineering teams.

• Build and maintain program dashboards that give engineering leadership and the CTO a real-time view of delivery health.
• Produce clear, concise executive status updates - surfacing risks, decisions needed, and milestone progress without noise.
• Define and track engineering KPIs: cycle time, release frequency, defect escape rate, and on-time delivery percentage.

• Identify and eliminate recurring sources of delay - unclear requirements, late dependency discovery, incomplete acceptance criteria.
• Standardize Agile ceremony practices across teams to improve sprint predictability and retrospective follow-through.
• Lead post-incident reviews on missed releases, building a culture of blameless learning.
