Success as an Engineering Program Manager (EPM) requires someone who brings structure to ambiguity and drives delivery clarity across teams. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, build strong partnerships with engineering and program leaders, and ensure work is prioritized and executed with discipline. You are comfortable operating at both the strategic and tactical levels: shaping what should be worked on, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring delivery plans, risks, and dependencies are visible and actively managed. You communicate crisply-writing clear leadership updates and facilitating alignment when tradeoffs are required. What you'll do Own the domain "system of delivery" and ensure the domain's work is focused on the most important outcomes, aligned to VC& M strategy, and planned/governed consistently. Establish the structures and mechanisms that enable predictable delivery (backlog structure, planning artifacts, governance cadence, reporting hygiene). Challenge and de-prioritize work that does not support the strategy or agreed priorities (in partnership with Technical Program Manager (TPM), Product, and VC& M leadership). Own the domain backlog structure, PI planning, and the domain delivery plan (scope, milestones, dependencies), within the strategic frame set by TPMs and leadership. Prioritize within the domain, with Engineering Manager input, to ensure capacity is focused on the highest-value work. Drive clarity for cross-team sequencing and integration planning so commitments are realistic and well-understood. Maintain accurate internal risk and dependency registers; actively drive resolution, mitigation plans, and escalation paths. Keep Atlassian artifacts and dashboards up to date so domain and program status is trustworthy and comparable across VC& M. Provide clear, timely communications to stakeholders on progress, risks, and changes. Ensure work has a clear acceptance criteria and a defined value/outcome. At completion, validate with Engineering and TPMs whether acceptance criteria were met and whether the intended value was delivered. Participate and provide key inputs to the cross-functional work intake discovery process; cascade with context to all impacted functions within your domain. Apply and help evolve common VC& M standards for discovery, planning, and delivery. Ensure the domain "plugs into" the broader VC& M operating model using shared templates and cadences. How you'll do it Build strong partnerships across engineering, program, product, design, systems, testing, operations, safety/regulatory, release, and quality. Drive alignment through clear tradeoffs, documented decisions, and transparent plans. Use data and delivery signals (risks, dependencies, throughput/health indicators) to inform priorities and leadership actions. You'll Have... Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years of experience in software/services delivery environments (product/platform/feature delivery). 3+ years of experience coordinating cross-functional work across multiple disciplines (engineering, program, product, design, QA/test, systems, operations, etc.). 3+ years of experience with delivery tooling (e.g., Atlassian Suite, Miro) and disciplined delivery hygiene (plans, dashboards, dependency tracking). 3+ years of experience operating in scaled delivery models (PI planning, multi-team roadmapping, portfolio governance). 3+ years of experience defining and implementing standards/...
