Key Responsibilities
- Lead the most complex cross-team technical programs in your primary domain.
- Make sure complex work across the domain is planned, coordinated, and executed to a consistently high standard.
- Surface risks, blockers, and capacity issues early, and drive mitigation or escalation when local coordination is not enough.
- Serve as the senior PMO-side escalation point when complex delivery work in the domain gets stuck.
- Keep program status accurate by verifying execution rather than only collecting updates.
- Work with product, engineering, quality, and service teams to define goals, scope, milestones, dependencies, and key decisions.
- Build workable program plans and coordination cadences, and clarify resourcing needs with the teams involved.
- Coach TPMs and other part-time program leads across the domain and, where the setup includes full-time TPMs, manage them directly.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, quality, and service teams without taking over their decision-making authority.
