About this role

Job title: Staff Technical Program Manager- Platform Features

About the Role

Staff TPMs don’t just run programs — they define how the company executes at scale. This role sits at the center of our highest-priority platform and product investments, partnering across engineering, product, and go-to-market teams to bring foundational capabilities to market globally. You will lead complex, high-visibility programs where the path isn’t fully defined, align senior stakeholders, and build the operating models that scale execution across the company.

What You'll Do

  • End-to-End Program Leadership: Own complex, cross-functional programs from initial scoping through launch and adoption. Define program structure, drive execution, and hold teams accountable to clear outcomes.
  • Cross-Organizational Alignment: Align engineering, product, design, field, legal, and marketing around a shared plan. Manage dependencies, resolve conflicts, and keep execution on track.
  • Product Launch & Enterprise Adoption: Partner with field teams, solutions architects, and customer success to drive successful launches. Build early access programs, capture customer feedback, and translate it into execution priorities.
  • Operational Excellence: Identify where the organization is losing speed, design scalable processes, and drive adoption across teams. Build systems that outlast individual programs.
  • Executive Communication: Own communication with senior leadership. Provide clear updates, highlight risks, and enable fast, well-informed decision-making.
  • Data-Driven Execution: Define success metrics upfront. Track progress rigorously and use data to guide decisions and demonstrate impact.

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years leading large-scale, cross-functional programs in enterprise software or B2B technology.
  • Proven experience delivering end-to-end product launches across multiple geographies and functions.
  • Demonstrated ability to bring structure to ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
  • Experience influencing roadmap and prioritization, not just delivery.
  • Credibility with both engineers and executives; strong communication skills with VP and C-level stakeholders.
  • Track record of building scalable processes and operating models.
  • Strong instincts for risk management, escalation, and stakeholder alignment.
  • Experience defining and tracking success metrics; familiarity with SQL or dashboards is a plus.
  • Experience operating with high autonomy and ownership in ambiguous, high-stakes environments.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • Background in data platforms, governance systems, or developer-facing products.
  • Familiarity with Databricks or similar large-scale data ecosystems.
  • Experience scaling both 0→1 programs and mature systems.
  • Advanced degree in a technical field.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: Local Pay Range $180,200—$247,850 USD (annual)
  • Comprehensive health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
  • 401(k) plan
  • Equity awards
  • Flexible time off
  • Paid parental leave and family planning support
  • Gym reimbursement
  • Annual personal development fund
  • Work headphones reimbursement
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Business travel accident insurance
  • Mental wellness resources
