About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to own the cross-team delivery machinery for a 20-person AI native engineering organization at Tekion. This role focuses on maintaining the master delivery plan across two Scrum teams and shared resources, tracking and resolving cross-team dependencies, managing risks, and creating delivery transparency for Engineering, Product, and Executive leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- →Own the master delivery plan: maintain the integrated roadmap across both Scrum teams, shared resources, and external platform dependencies with milestone-level clarity at all times.
- →Track and resolve cross-team dependencies: Agentic Engine, Core Platform, ARC backend, Design, and external vendors.
- →Run the delivery rhythm: sprint review calendar, cross-team sync cadence, dependency review meetings, and risk escalation forums.
- →Identify, quantify, and manage delivery risks: surface blockers early, drive resolution with urgency, and maintain a live risk register.
- →Own cross-team technical communication: translate engineering status into language that Product, Business, and Executive stakeholders can act on.
- →Drive the release process: define release criteria, coordinate go/no-go decisions, and manage production deployments.
- →Manage the dependency interface to the T1 Agentic Engine team: track which Intent, Skill, Policy, and MCP tool registrations are ready, which are blocked, and what the critical path impact is.
- →Continuously improve the delivery system: identify bottlenecks in the engineering process, drive retrospectives, and implement changes that sustainably increase throughput and quality.
Requirements
- ✓12+ years of technical program management experience, with at least 3 years at Staff level managing multi-team programs at SaaS or platform companies.
- ✓Strong technical depth: able to read architecture diagrams, understand Kafka dependency graphs, evaluate API contract blockers, and participate in engineering design discussions.
- ✓Proven experience managing complex, multi-team delivery programs with many external dependencies.
- ✓Expert facilitation of engineering delivery rituals: sprint planning, dependency reviews, release gates, post mortems, and architecture syncs.
- ✓Deep understanding of AI-native product delivery: what makes AI system delivery different from traditional software.
