TL;DR · Technology Program Management Director

The Technology Program Management Director leads strategic program development, roadmap planning, and execution across the engineering organization. This leader partners with engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders to translate strategic priorities into executable programs, ensuring initiatives deliver measurable outcomes. Key responsibilities include developing multi-quarter strategic roadmaps, identifying cross-team dependencies, establishing program governance, and managing a strategic portfolio of complex technology initiatives. The role requires technical fluency in modern software engineering, infrastructure, platform, reliability, and cloud technologies. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in Site Reliability Engineering, observability, DevOps, and Agile development. The position solves the challenge of bringing structure to complex, ambiguous initiatives within a large-scale software engineering environment, driving alignment across Engineering, Product, Architecture, Operations, and Security teams to ensure cohesive execution and organizational effectiveness.

What you'll do

  • Develop and maintain multi-quarter strategic technology roadmaps aligned with organizational priorities.
  • Translate broad strategic objectives into structured programs with clear milestones, dependencies, and measurable outcomes.
  • Lead complex, cross-functional technology programs from initial definition through execution and adoption.
  • Establish program governance and operating mechanisms to provide transparency while minimizing process overhead.
  • Identify and resolve risks, blockers, and cross-team dependencies across the engineering portfolio.
  • Create executive-level communications that translate complex technical programs into clear outcomes and recommendations.
  • Develop repeatable frameworks and mechanisms to improve organizational effectiveness and planning processes.
  • Track progress against strategic commitments and surface areas requiring leadership intervention or decision-making.

What we're looking for

  • Significant experience leading complex technical programs within large-scale software engineering, infrastructure, platform, reliability, or technology organizations.
  • Demonstrated experience developing and managing strategic technology roadmaps across multiple teams or functions.
  • Strong understanding of modern software engineering and technology delivery practices.
  • Proven ability to translate ambiguous strategic goals into structured programs and actionable plans.
  • Experience managing large, cross-functional initiatives with significant dependencies and organizational complexity.
  • Exceptional stakeholder management and executive communication skills.
  • Ability to influence senior leaders and technical teams without direct authority.
  • Experience working with Site Reliability Engineering, observability, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise-scale engineering organizations (preferred).
