Technical Program Manager

**Who You Are:** You are an execution-focused Technical Program Manager who brings structure to ambiguity and keeps globally distributed engineering teams moving with clarity and accountability. You'll work across time zones and functions — partnering with engineering leads, product, and business stakeholders to drive high-quality delivery across the Staking team. You own the operational side of software development: intake, prioritization, delivery tracking, and stakeholder coordination. You're proactive about ensuring new asks are clearly defined, appropriately scoped, and visible. You take accountability for follow-through — whether that means chasing down blockers, surfacing risks early, or prompting stakeholders when things stall. You don't assume someone else will handle it; you make sure it happens. You have the technical depth to follow architecture conversations, dig into dependencies, and represent the state of a project with confidence. Engineers trust you to understand the nuance; business stakeholders rely on you to translate it. **What You’ll Do:** Own delivery across Blockchain Engineering teams - Act as the key execution partner to the Head of Blockchain Engineering, supporting engineering teams across New York and Hong Kong. - Own the end-to-end intake process for new workstreams — ensuring asks are captured, clarified, scoped, and prioritized in coordination with tech leads, product, and stakeholders. - Maintain a global view of team resourcing and delivery: who is on what, what the current priorities are, and where there are conflicts or gaps. - Own project management for larger or complex initiatives that span multiple teams or functions, including dependency management and stakeholder coordination. Create visibility and drive alignment - Create and maintain up-to-date status dashboards and reporting tools to provide a single pane of glass for leadership and stakeholders. - Facilitate agile ceremonies — planning, stand-ups, retrospectives — where needed, and ensure JIRA and other tooling reflect accurate project states. - Provide regular, concise, and structured status updates to senior leadership, including the Head of Blockchain Engineering. - Coordinate with adjacent teams (infrastructure, security, controls) where dependencies impact delivery. Surface and resolve blockers - Proactively identify blockers, risks, and shifts in scope or resourcing — and ensure the right people are aware early. - Work closely with tech leads to ensure structured delivery across time zones and consistent execution rhythms. - Chase down vendor updates, resolve cross-team dependencies, and keep commitments on track without waiting to be asked. Improve the operating system - Contribute to the evolution of delivery process maturity across the Technology organization. - Keep cadences, rituals, and tooling simple — compounding clarity, not overhead. - Embrace and champion the thoughtful adoption of AI to improve team performance and business outcomes. - Leverage AI tools (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, data copilots) to improve productivity, decision-making, and output quality in your day-to-day work. **What We’re Looking For:** - 7+ years of experience in Technical Program Management with direct involvement in engineering-led delivery. - Strong track record leading complex, cross-functional initiatives — ideally across time zones and with multiple engineering teams. - Proven ability to manage intake, triage new requests, and partner with tech leads to define scope and priorities. - Confident tracking resource allocation and team workloads across multiple pods, and surfacing gaps or overloads early. - Highly structured in approach, with fluency in delivery tooling (JIRA, dashboards, docs) and the ability to create clear visibility for both working teams and executive stakeholders. - Strong communicator — capable of producing concise weekly status updates and interfacing directly with senior stakeholders. - Operates independently, with a bias for action and accountability. - Ability to engage deeply with technical projects — not coding, but able to understand architecture, dependencies, and implementation complexity. - Based in London, able to bridge the execution gap between New York and Hong Kong. - High agency, low ego. You'll own a clear mandate and are expected to drive within it. **Bonus Points:*** * - Experience in digital assets, financial markets, or operations-heavy technology environments. - Prior experience as a software engineer or in a hands-on technical role. - Familiarity with staking, validators, or blockchain infrastructure. - Experience working alongside tier-1 financial institutions (banks, asset managers, custodians). **What We Offer:** - Competitive base salary and discretionary bonus - Hybrid/Flexible Working Arrangements - Flexible Time Off (paid) - 3% 401(k) company contribution - Company-paid health and protective benefits for employees, partners, and other dependents - Generous paid Parental Leave - Competitive family planning benefits for US employees - Opportunities to learn about the Crypto industry - Smart, entrepreneurial, and fun colleagues - Free daily snacks and weekly breakfasts/lunches - Employee Resource Groups - Free coaching and counseling sessions through Headspace Apply now and join us on our mission to engineer a new economic paradigm.
