Full Job Description
We are looking for an experienced Technical Program Manager to join our Ads TPM team within the Tech PMO (Technical Program Management Office), supporting the Ads Product & Engineering organization. As a TPM, you will lead your team in driving cross-functional initiatives that span multiple technical teams. In this role, you'll own and drive technical programs in the Ads Monetization engineering space, many of which will require you to work cross-functionally across multiple engineering teams at Reddit. You'll partner with engineering leaders across the company to evaluate prioritization, tradeoffs and risks related to the programs you own. What you'll do: High-quality technical program management is a distinct and high-value skillset, and while the roles generally don't involve direct management, they are a part of the organizational leadership. In this role, you will: • Get Things Done. More than just displaying activity, counting sprint points, or delivering regular updates. You actually bring projects to completion, deliver real accomplishments for the business, and help your teams understand the difference. • Dive into Details. You understand the details of their projects and help guide them with and in active partnership with their teams. You don't just stay in the stratosphere or in an abstract process. You have the technical judgment to act as a partner with your teams in planning and decision-making. • Make Work Repeatable. You create and improve processes that smooth the path for others and prevent and remove recurring organizational toil (and the lower quality bar that often allows). You reuse processes developed elsewhere, and aid in the adoption of standards where relevant. • Mentor & Lead. You are good at, and enjoy, informally aiding others in developing key organizational and project skills. You're a leader within your projects and support people in the process. • Bring Order out of Chaos. You are known for leaving a program and the teams you support in a position of stronger organization than where they started, and those teams continue to succeed even when you are no longer specifically engaged in the project. What We Can Expect From You: • 8+ years of collective experience in engineering and program management roles, with at least 4 years focused on digital ads platforms or ads monetization. • Strong communication and influencing skills. • A team player mentality with the ability to work collaboratively across all levels of the organization. • Proactive and curious by nature. You are creative and enjoy taking unique approaches to solve problems. • Pragmatic; you take an iterative approach to developing processes and systems • Technical depth and judgment. • Analytical problem-solving experience with large-scale systems.

About Reddit

Reddit is an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "communities" or "subreddits", which cover topics such as news, politics, religion, science, movies, video games, music, books, sports, fitness, cooking, pets, and image-sharing. Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page. Although there are strict rules prohibiting harassment, it still occurs, and Reddit administrators moderate the communities and close or restrict them on occasion. Moderation is also conducted by community-specific moderators, who are not considered Reddit employees. As of September 2021, Reddit ranks as the 19th-most-visited website in the world and 7th most-visited website in the U.S., according to Alexa Internet. About 42–49.3% of its user base comes from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.9–8.2% and Canada at 5.2–7.8%. Twenty-two percent of U.S. adults aged 18 to 29 years, and 14 percent of U.S. adults aged 30 to 49 years, regularly use Reddit. Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, with Aaron Swartz, in 2005. Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications. In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto. Their investment valued the company at $500 million then. In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority stakeholder. In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company's valuation to $3 billion. In August 2021, a $700 million funding round led by Fidelity Investments raised that valuation to over $10 billion.
