We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager who can effectively lead the development and ongoing success of large-scale media solutions.

This role has three distinct focuses for success:

Partner with Product and Tech to think through and plan solutions. Leverage Agile development processes to break down requests into manageable work, ensure readiness for execution, and enable the team to deliver on its commitments through project management of risks and dependencies.

Continuously suggest and drive improvements to end-to-end processes, including deployment and A/B testing tactics to ensure hypotheses can be validated. Lead and control communication to mitigate distractions for engineers and technology managers.

Build and maintain partnerships with cross-functional teams, especially those that control where ads appear on our search results and home detail pages.

Through collaboration with theirs and our leadership, coordinate and prioritize initiatives that achieve the team's strategic goals.

Additionally, this role will interface and optimize engagements with external suppliers.

Actively review program volatility, health, and operational excellence.

Facilitate clear communication channels for collaborators to grasp the results and impact of work managed within the technical program.

Receive feedback on how things are working and apply learnings to continuously improve.

Teleworkers do not have a permanent corporate office workplace and instead work from a physical location of their choice which must be identified to the Company.
