Staff Technical Program Manager

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. 

Nearly half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

As a Staff Technical Program Manager serving the Shared Services/Builder Tools domain area, you will oversee the development and launch of new capabilities, features, and processes aimed to ensure operational efficiencies for the Human Interest Platform and developer efficiency. You will partner with Product Managers, engineers and tech & business leaders to deliver roadmaps and advocate for our strategy and plan. You aim to ensure the teams are running smoothly with continuous improvement to our goals.

You will own both large and small-scale technical projects and programs, develop against strategic roadmaps, and create and enhance partnerships across the Human Interest Tech Org.

What you get to do every day

• Manage delivery of large, high-impact programs aimed to improve operational efficiencies for our Shared Services, Builder Tools and InfoSec domain areas
• Promote strategic planning, partnering with Product Management and other technical leaders to develop project plans, roadmaps, dependency identification, and resourcing plans. 
• Be a leader of the team. You are well-versed in understanding trade-offs, knowing how best to evaluate and communicate them to leadership.
• Identify and mitigate risks to delivery by clarifying scope, removing blockers, and ensuring clear communication between appropriate stakeholders
• Assist teams in creating schedules, setting goals, and identifying milestones to ensure success at the individual project and team portfolio level 
• Track and report progress of projects and goals in an efficient, audience appropriate manner
• Ensure longer-term strategic activities such as roadmap planning, resourcing, and cost management are successfully completed by teams
• Support the rhythm of the business by creating and optimizing processes relating to execution, reporting, and planning
• Identify opportunities for increased efficiencies and impact; implement metrics to establish Portfolio, Budget, and Project measurements
• Focus on delivery and outcome, not just process. Uphold a culture of focus, delivery, and accountability across the organization
•
