What You'll Own

• End-to-end delivery of concurrent cross-functional programs spanning engineering, product, QA, and operations
• Program roadmaps tied to business outcomes — not just delivery milestones
• Escalation management with executive stakeholders; you surface problems before they become crises
• Agile/SAFe framework implementation across teams — improving sprint predictability and reducing delivery variance
• OKR and KPI definition for programs you own; you're accountable for the numbers, not just reporting them
• Risk identification, mitigation planning, and post-launch retrospectives

Requirements (non-negotiable):

• 8+ years total experience, with at least 4 years in technical program or project management
• Prior software engineering background — minimum 2 years writing or reviewing code; you need to earn credibility with engineering leads
• Demonstrated experience running programs across geographically distributed teams
• Comfort operating in ambiguity — you create structure, you don't wait for it
• Strong executive stakeholder communication; you've presented to C-suite and held your ground
• AI-Native Operations: Proven experience or strong familiarity using AI-augmented project management platforms and advanced prompt engineering to streamline program documentation, risk registers, and executive reporting.

Strong preference:

• Experience in a SaaS product company, ideally in device management, IoT, or developer tools

• SAFe, PMP, or equivalent certification
• Experience managing vendor or partner relationships
