Technical Program Manager

Technical Program Manager
Dallas, TX | Full-time
Reports to Co-founder/CTO

Why this role exists

This company is scaling quickly. Enterprise customers are live, expectations are high, and execution can’t be reactive anymore.

They need a Technical Program Manager who can build an operating rhythm across Product, Engineering, and Operations. Someone who makes delivery predictable, surfaces risk early, and keeps commitments from turning into last-minute fire drills.

This is not a “run Jira and send status updates” role. It’s ownership.

What you will own

Program delivery (end-to-end)

• Lead cross-functional technical initiatives from planning through delivery.
  
  
• Translate big priorities into clear workstreams, owners, timelines, and dependencies.
  
  
• Keep delivery on track across teams and adjust quickly when reality changes.
  
  
• Identify risks early, escalate with context, and prevent surprises.
  
  

Cross-functional alignment

• Partner with Engineering, Product, and leadership to align priorities and sequencing.
  
  
• Facilitate planning and execution touchpoints that keep teams coordinated.
  
  
• Connect work across teams so critical initiatives don’t stall in silos.
  
  

Execution infrastructure

• Improve visibility into what’s moving, what’s stuck, and what decisions are needed.
  
  
• Introduce lightweight tools and systems that improve speed and forecasting (including smart use of AI).
  
  
• Establish a consistent cadence for reporting, tracking, and accountability.
  
  

What success looks like in your first 90 days

• You create a clear execution roadmap for the company’s highest priority initiatives (owners, timelines, dependencies, decision points).
  
  
• Delivery becomes more predictable: fewer surprises, fewer escalations, tighter follow-through.
  
  
• Enterprise commitments are met with clear cross-team coordination.
  
  
• Leadership has real visibility into progress and risk, without chasing people for updates.
  
  

The profile that tends to win here

• You operate independently and don’t need heavy direction to move work forward.
  
  
• You bring urgency without chaos.
  
  
• You can influence without formal authority.
  
  
• You’re steady in ambiguity and good at turning “messy” into “manageable.”
  
  
• You leverage tools well and care about outcomes more than process theater.
