In this role, you will:

  • Own program delivery end-to-end - Serve as a TPM for cross-functional programs, partnering closely with engineers, product managers, and leadership to drive day-to-day execution, ensuring release readiness through consistent application of milestones, dependency management, risk mitigation, and quality checkpoints as products and requirements evolve.
