TL;DR · Senior Manager, Technical Programs

The Sr Manager, Technical Programs leads a multi-year AWS cloud transformation program focused on building disaster recovery resiliency. This role involves evolving environments from single-region operations to full multi-region, active/active or active/passive high-availability architectures. You will own the end-to-end program, including technical strategy alignment, cross-team execution, and DR testing cadences. Key responsibilities include managing a portfolio of engineering operational programs, establishing management processes, and providing technical guidance to teams. You will utilize AWS services like Route 53 failover and cross-region replication to meet RTO/RPO targets. The role requires managing vendor engagements, tracking technical debt, and producing evidence for SOC 2 or PCI compliance. You must communicate status to C-suite stakeholders while managing budgets, resources, and complex dependencies across infrastructure, application, data, and network workstreams.

What you'll do

  • Own the multi-year roadmap for the AWS cloud transformation and disaster recovery program.
  • Build and maintain the master program plan across infrastructure, application, data, and network workstreams.
  • Partner with engineering teams to define multi-region topology, data replication strategies, and RTO/RPO targets.
  • Execute a regular DR testing program including tabletop exercises and full regional failover tests.
  • Produce evidence packages for internal audit, risk, and compliance teams to satisfy regulatory requirements.
  • Deliver concise executive updates to SVP and C-suite stakeholders regarding program status and risks.
  • Manage vendor relationships, contract deliverables, and third-party implementation milestones.
  • Identify and mitigate program risks, including technical debt and single points of failure in staffing.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of technical program/project management experience.
  • At least 5 years of experience leading large-scale cloud infrastructure or platform-resiliency programs.
  • Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Experience with program management methodologies and tools within an engineering environment.
  • Demonstrated experience running an AWS-based disaster recovery program, including multi-region architecture, failover testing, and RTO/RPO planning.
  • Proven ability to manage multi-year, multi-workstream programs with competing priorities across several engineering teams.
  • Strong executive communication skills, with a preference for concise, BLUF-style reporting (preferred).
