Overview
We're looking for a seasoned Senior Project Manager/Technical Program Manager to own the coordination and delivery of complex, cross-functional software initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of Agile delivery management and operational execution — you'll be equally comfortable running a sprint retro and troubleshooting a live demo in front of senior executives.
The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, brings structure to fast-moving technical teams, and is fluent in using AI tools to scale their own effectiveness. Profile description:
Key Responsibilities
-
- Cross-functional delivery coordination: Serve as the central point of coordination across software development, product management, and operations teams, ensuring deliverables are scoped, tracked, and landed on schedule.
-
- End-to-end SW program ownership: Manage delivery of technical initiatives spanning infrastructure builds, automated test tooling, telemetry/debug systems, and large-scale data pipelines — often supporting hardware/device validation and bring-up processes.
-
- Quality and readiness gatekeeping: Act as a checkpoint between engineering completion and downstream production or factory release, ensuring software meets validation and calibration standards before sign-off.
-
- Operational management: Take hands-on ownership of operational functions such as tech support workflows, community/user engagement programs, and device or fleet management — not just software timelines, but the people and processes that support them.
-
- Data pipeline alignment: Coordinate closely between teams generating data and teams consuming it (e.g., research or product teams), ensuring outputs match evolving downstream requirements, including transitions between different data sourcing methodologies.
-
- Executive-facing demo management: Plan, script, and run live product demos for senior leadership and executive audiences, including real-time troubleshooting and contingency management to ensure flawless execution under pressure.
-
- AI-native reporting and tracking: Build or leverage AI-powered agents and dashboards to automatically track deliverables, flag risks, and generate stakeholder-ready status reports — reducing manual reporting overhead and improving visibility.
-
- Stakeholder communication: Translate technical progress and blockers into clear, concise updates for both engineering leadership and non-technical executive stakeholders.
-
- Process innovation: In situations with no existing playbook, prototype new workflows and approaches, then codify learnings into standard operating procedures (SOPs) that scale across the broader team or organization.
-
- Team leadership: Manage and mentor a small team or group of coordinators/contributors supporting operational functions, fostering an AI-forward, efficiency-driven culture.
Requirements
-
- 8+ years of experience in technical program/project management, ideally within software engineering or hardware/software integration environments
-
- Strong working knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies, with proven experience running sprint ceremonies, backlog grooming, and iterative delivery cycles
-
- Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple engineering teams simultaneously, with strong prioritization and risk management skills
-
- Comfort operating in high-visibility, high-pressure settings (executive demos, live troubleshooting)
-
- Familiarity with AI/automation tools for reporting, tracking, or workflow optimization
-
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to flex between technical and executive audiences
- Must Haves:
- Experience coordinating multiple cross-functional teams (Engineering, Product, Operations)
- Hands-on experience running Scrum/Agile programs
- Led sprint planning, backlog grooming, retrospectives, and release planning
- Cyber Security related project experience
Preferred Qualifications
-
- PMP, PMI-ACP, SAFe, or equivalent certification
-
- Bachelor's degree, preferably in Computer Science or IT or Business Admin
-
- Experience with hardware/software co-development environments (e.g., device calibration, chip bring-up, factory validation)
-
- Prior experience building or managing AI-powered internal tools or dashboards
