Technical Program Manager

Technical Program Manager

Dallas, TX | Full-time

Reports to Co-founder / CTO

Why this role exists

This company is scaling quickly. Enterprise customers are live, expectations are high, and execution can’t be reactive anymore.

They need a Technical Program Manager who can build an operating rhythm across Product, Engineering, and Operations. Someone who makes delivery predictable, surfaces risk early, and keeps commitments from turning into last-minute fire drills.

This is not a “run Jira and send status updates” role. It’s ownership.

What you will own

Program delivery (end-to-end)

Lead cross-functional technical initiatives from planning through delivery.

Translate big priorities into clear workstreams, owners, timelines, and dependencies.

Keep delivery on track across teams and adjust quickly when reality changes.

Identify risks early, escalate with context, and prevent surprises.

Cross-functional alignment

Partner with Engineering, Product, and leadership to align priorities and sequencing.

Facilitate planning and execution touchpoints that keep teams coordinated.

Connect work across teams so critical initiatives don’t stall in silos.

Execution infrastructure

Improve visibility into what’s moving, what’s stuck, and what decisions are needed.

Introduce lightweight tools and systems that improve speed and forecasting (including smart use of AI).

Establish a consistent cadence for reporting, tracking, and accountability.

What success looks like in your first 90 days

You create a clear execution roadmap for the company’s highest priority initiatives (owners, timelines, dependencies, decision points).

Delivery becomes more predictable : fewer surprises, fewer escalations, tighter follow-through.

Enterprise commitments are met with clear cross-team coordination.

Leadership has real visibility into progress and risk, without chasing people for updates.

The profile that tends to win here

You operate independently and don’t need heavy direction to move work forward.

You bring urgency without chaos.

You can influence without formal authority.

You’re steady in ambiguity and good at turning “messy” into “manageable.”

You leverage tools well and care about outcomes more than process theater.
