Partner with Product and Engineering to plan requirements, identify risks, manage program schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners across the company.
Track progress, resolve dependencies, evaluate risks, and communicate status to upper management and program stakeholders, and engage the program teams to achieve goals.
What we look for
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
8 years of proven experience managing technical programs.
