Your work and projects will be diverse and will require you to be organized and flexible to adapt to changing situations. Your work could range from crafting a vision with customers, to operating as a technical program manager planning and scoping engineering sprints, to managing a complex program and overseeing the execution to transform that vision into a robust product. You’ll be managing a complex program of various stakeholders so you will need to be an expert communicator who can clearly communicate intent, vision, and direction to all parties.
You should have experience in systems/software development, and the ability to learn technical concepts quickly. You will need to be comfortable working with engineers and digging into the details to understanding system dependencies, technical risks and the impact of key architectural decisions.
