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.
