Senior Technical Program Manager

Bangalore
About Glean:
 
Founded in 2019, Glean is an innovative AI-powered knowledge management platform designed to help organizations quickly find, organize, and share information across their teams. By integrating seamlessly with tools like Google Drive, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, Glean ensures employees can access the right knowledge at the right time, boosting productivity and collaboration. The company’s cutting-edge AI technology simplifies knowledge discovery, making it faster and more efficient for teams to leverage their collective intelligence.
 
Glean was born from Founder & CEO Arvind Jain’s deep understanding of the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information at work. Seeing firsthand how fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools made it difficult to stay productive, he set out to build a better way - an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access the information they need. Since then, Glean has evolved into the leading Work AI platform, combining enterprise-grade search, an AI assistant, and powerful application- and agent-building capabilities to fundamentally redefine how employees work.

You will:

  • Balance technical understanding with GTM knowledge to ensure projects not only release but also land with our field and customers.
  • Define clear goals, success metrics, and timelines while ensuring alignment across engineering, product, and leadership teams
  • Identify risks, manage dependencies, and proactively remove blockers to keep programs on track
  • Maintain and communicate updates to the product roadmap, promoting transparency and alignment across teams.  Create transparency through program documentation, dashboards, and status updates for stakeholders at all levels
  • Improve and drive automation, processes, tools, and frameworks that help teams move faster, deliver higher-quality outcomes and reduce administrative burdens
  • Assist with technical program management on cross-functional initiatives involving R&D, Marketing, and GTM, such as release notes, beta programs, and customer feature request processes.
  • Partner with engineering and client services to enable effective cross-team coordination and release planning.

About you:

  • BA/BS in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 10+ years of experience in technical program management, product management, or engineering. 
  • 5+ years of experience in technical program management or Product/Engineering operations within an Enterprise B2B environment, with a track record of supporting complex technical initiatives.
  • Excellent communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills, including creating clear, compelling presentations and reports for leadership, stakeholders, and external audiences with the ability to translate technical concepts into clear, actionable strategies for varied audiences.
  • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional programs in a fast-paced environment with operational excellence.
  • Familiarity with AI technologies and a demonstrated interest in applying AI-first thinking to product and operational challenges.
  • Strong understanding of software development lifecycle, product development lifecycle, Agile practices, and program management methodologies
  • Strong technical acumen, including the ability to self-serve data, automate workflows, understand network operations and deployment models, and engage confidently in technical discussions.
  • Experience with A/B testing, user feedback analysis, and NPS (Net Promoter Score) methodologies to inform product and process improvements.
  • Sound judgement and ability to walk teams through the balance between speed of innovation and adoption, and the needs of B2B Enterprise software, in sometimes ambiguous situations
  • Ability to balance technical depth with strategic program execution, comfortable diving into details while keeping focus on the big picture
  • Experience supporting or managing technical programs in cloud, on-premises, or hybrid network environments.  Familiarity with cloud-native development practices, distributed systems, or infrastructure programs is a plus

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
