About the Role:

IPSY is seeking a VP, TPM to act as a trusted partner to the CTO and to lead the centralized TPM function across our technology organization. This is a hybrid role that blends the strategic foresight of a Chief of Staff, the executional rigor of a Head of PMO, and the technical, metrics-driven mindset of a Digital Operational Excellence leader — applied to a high-volume, high-growth e-commerce and subscription-commerce platform.

The VP, TPM will own the portfolio of strategic technology programs — platform modernization, checkout and payments, fulfillment, personalization, and subscription systems — while building the operating rhythm, governance, and instrumentation that let engineering, product, data, and operations move fast without breaking things. This role is ideal for a hands-on, technically fluent leader who is equally comfortable in a board deck and in a postmortem, and who understands what it takes to run a consumer digital platform at scale, including through peak commerce events.

As IPSY executes a technology transformation — from platform modernization to business acceleration — this role ensures the org executes with focus, scales with discipline, operates with technical excellence, and treats reliability and customer experience as first-class business metrics.

This position reports to the Chief Technology Officer and can be fully remote from any U.S. state where IPSY is authorized to hire.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Strategic Execution & CTO Enablement

  • Drive annual planning, OKR alignment, and progress tracking across the technology organization.
  • Take on sensitive, fast-moving cross-department initiatives that need discretion and the ability to pull the right people together quickly.

Program & Portfolio Leadership

  • Lead the centralized PMO function; define and implement its vision, operating model, and governance framework.
  • Define and manage a portfolio of strategic initiatives spanning platform modernization, checkout/payments, fulfillment, personalization, subscription systems, and experience transformation.
  • Build the operating framework the org uses to prioritize work, track milestones, resolve dependencies, manage budget, and flag risk before it becomes a problem.
  • Keep Business, Engineering, Product, Data, and Infrastructure pulling in the same direction on scope, sequencing, and delivery dates.
  • Build and lead a high-performing team of project/program managers; establish standardized methodologies (Agile, hybrid, stage-gate) fit to each program type.
  • Drive end-to-end execution of complex, cross-functional programs (e.g., platform enhancements, personalization, fulfillment optimization).
  • Introduce best practices, tools, and technologies to enhance execution (e.g., Jira, Asana, Smartsheet, portfolio tools).

Agile & Product Enablement

  • Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to strengthen Agile practices and delivery predictability.
  • Support roadmap planning, backlog prioritization, and release governance.
  • Enable data-driven decision-making and iterative delivery models.

Digital Operational Excellence & Technical Fluency

  • Own team oversight of Digital Operations and Site Event Operations, ensuring platform reliability, operational readiness, and flawless execution of peak commerce and site events.
  • Drive the design and adoption of digital operational best practices across platform engineering, QA, SRE, and support.
  • Define and own key digital operational performance KPIs (e.g., uptime, page load time, deployment frequency, incident MTTR, and error rates).
  • Lead continuous improvement rituals (retrospectives, postmortems, tooling upgrades) to reduce friction and improve delivery velocity.
  • Ensure the PMO risk framework accounts for payment/PCI-DSS compliance, data privacy, and third-party vendor risk (payment gateways, fulfillment/3PL partners).

Resource Management & Capacity Planning

  • Establish and lead enterprise resource management practices to support effective portfolio execution.
  • Maintain a centralized view of resource capacity, demand, and allocation across all strategic initiatives; provide forward-looking capacity forecasts to inform prioritization, sequencing, and trade-off decisions.
  • Partner with functional leaders (Product, Engineering, Marketing, Operations, Data) to align staffing plans with prioritized work.
  • Identify resource constraints and recommend solutions (reallocation, hiring, outsourcing, reprioritization); enable scenario planning to assess the impact of new initiatives on existing commitments and trade-offs.
  • Implement tools and processes to track resource utilization, skill alignment, and availability in real time.
  • Ensure resource plans are directly tied to portfolio outcomes, timelines, and financial targets.

Financial & Performance Management

  • Oversee portfolio-level budgeting and forecasting.
  • Track and report on delivery timelines, cost performance, ROI, and business outcomes; establish KPIs and OKRs linked to strategic initiatives.

Organizational Health, Risk, Governance & Communication

  • Foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and delivery excellence.

Team Development & People Leadership

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
