Senior Technical Program Manager

Senior Technical Program Manager

Company:

The Boeing Company

Boeing's Global Talent, Development and Employee Experience organization has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join the Employee Listening, Organizational Research, and Talent Assessment Team in Seattle, WA. The person in this role will lead operational execution, program governance, and delivery infrastructure for a portfolio of survey research, executive assessment, and pre-hire assessment programs. This role is essential to ensuring our employee listening, organizational research, and talent assessment programs are delivered with operational rigor, scalable processes, and strong cross-functional alignment, enabling high-quality insights and timely business decisions. 

The Senior TPM partners closely with survey research and talent assessment scientists in a co-leadership model. Scientists own the scientific workstreams, including research design, methodology, psychometrics, analysis, interpretation, and related follow-through actions. The Senior TPM owns the program and project management workstreams, including planning, coordination, scheduling, governance, risk management, stakeholder communication, and execution control across both portfolio-level and workstream-level deliverables. 

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, hands-on leader who brings structure to complexity, manages multiple interdependent workstreams, drives accountability, and ensures delivery with rigor, transparency, and timeliness. The right person will also excel at driving cross-functional alignment, shaping operating mechanisms, influencing without authority, and making sound tradeoff recommendations in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. 

What You’ll Do 

You will own end-to-end operational execution across programs and individual workstreams, from intake and prioritization through planning, launch readiness, delivery, and post-launch optimization. In partnership with program leadership, you will help operationalize the research portfolio strategy, priorities, and success metrics, translating objectives into a prioritized roadmap with clear milestones and dependencies. 

You will lead individual workstreams as a project manager and execution owner, building project plans, tracking milestones, managing cadence, surfacing blockers, and driving decisions to keep work moving. You will proactively identify risks, reconcile tradeoffs across scope, timeline, cost, and stakeholder value, and ensure delivery remains on track. You will also maintain core program operations infrastructure, including status reporting, risk and issue logs, dependency tracking, decision logs, and change control. 

You will schedule and facilitate recurring team meetings, planning sessions, and stakeholder syncs to ensure consistent communication, alignment, and accountability across the team and broader cross-functional partners. You will also lead the creation and upkeep of team strategy and operations documentation, including playbooks, process guides, and planning artifacts, ensuring they remain accurate, actionable, and accessible. 

You will help design and continuously improve delivery excellence frameworks, workflows, and templates that support both scientific and operational delivery. You will build visibility into program health, align stakeholders across teams, and ensure outputs are usable, accessible, and on time. You will define and apply consistent readiness and acceptance criteria for key milestones, and when delivery is at risk, you will drive mitigation and recovery plans. 

In addition, you will partner with vendors, technical teams, Product, UX, analytics, and assessment scientists to coordinate data, platform, and workflow dependencies. You will support quarterly planning, portfolio prioritization, and continuous improvement efforts that strengthen delivery quality and execution rigor, including retrospectives and root-cause analysis. You will help balance near-term delivery needs with technical debt and longer-term platform and process investments.
