  • Support prioritization – partner with Product Management to integrate customer feedback and business priorities into the development roadmap.
  • Enable onboarding and execution – help teams onboard new processes, ensuring smooth adoption and tracking of key initiatives.
  • Guide and support – drive best practices for program management, helping teams stay focused and accountable without adding unnecessary overhead.

Who you are:

  • You have 6+ years of experience in program or project management for software development initiatives.
  • You have deep knowledge and experience with JIRA - creating dashboards, label and tag work for reporting, JQL knowledge and knowledge in additional engineering insight tools such as, linearB, JellyFish or others.
  • You have proven experience operating as part of a software development organization.
  • An active PMI certification is highly preferred but not required.
  • Past experience as a Scrum Master is highly preferred but not required.
  • You have detailed experience with Agile, Scrum or similar methodologies.
  • You thrive in a highly collaborative, cross-functional environment, working with multiple teams without direct authority.
  • You excel at clear, concise communication, translating technical updates into meaningful insights for diverse audiences.
  • You are organized and detail-oriented, able to track multiple projects and dependencies without losing sight of the big picture.
  • You have a customer-first mindset and strong judgment in balancing competing priorities.
  • You are adaptable and thrive in a fast-changing technical environment.

To be successful as a Staff Technical Program Manager:

  • You are a strong facilitator and problem-solver, ensuring alignment across teams without direct authority.
  • You embrace complexity and can drive progress in an environment where priorities shift and technical challenges arise.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

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.
