Responsibilities
- Act like an owner: Be an owner of program strategy and execution across our Data & Analytics and Business Systems pillars, and serve as the connective tissue between those pillars and the partners they depend on
- Build relationships: Our TPM team thrives on collaboration. You will work closely with stakeholders at every level, from engineers to e-staff, and your ability to build trust and align diverse perspectives will be central to what you can accomplish
- Drive strategy: You will dive deep into the how and the why of your programs, developing plans that connect day-to-day execution to where these pillars need to go. Your judgment will shape how decisions get made
- Be a leader: Act as a leader within the TPM team. Identify opportunities to collaborate, share what works, and coach your teammates
- Lead beyond your pillars: Our TPM team also owns cross-company processes like yearly planning. You will contribute to these shared efforts and take a leadership role in shaping them
- Own the complexity: Drive multiple complex cross-functional programs simultaneously, and create scalable frameworks across pillars and functions to track work and communicate progress
- Manage timelines: Lead the delivery timeline for your programs. Proactively identify risks and create mitigation strategies through workflows, communication, or resource allocation
- Measure success: Proactively propose success metrics for yourself and your programs, and identify when those metrics are at risk
- Build to move faster: Use AI and lightweight tooling to reduce the coordination tax on your teams. When you spot a manual, repetitive process, build something better
- Improve how we work: Identify and drive process improvements at the team and cross-team level, so the whole organization delivers at a larger scale
