Join us and you'll be taking part in serving our customers in as fast as 30 minutes! We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead our most complex, cross-organizational technical programs spanning AI/ML, data engineering, and business intelligence. In this role, you will own the end-to-end delivery of our multi-year AI roadmap across the R2L value chain — Launch, Planning, Operations, and Analytics — translating ambiguous business strategy into executable technical programs that deliver measurable impact at scale. As the senior-most TPM on the team, you will operate with significant autonomy, setting the technical program strategy rather than executing a predefined plan. You will drive alignment across Product, Business Intelligence Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, and Systems Development, and partner directly with senior leadership (Director/VP) to shape priorities, surface tradeoffs, and remove organizational blockers. You will be trusted to identify which problems are worth solving, define the approach, and hold a large, distributed set of stakeholders to a single coherent plan. This is a high-visibility role with a broad blast radius. The programs you lead directly inform leadership decision-making, carry significant cost-savings entitlement, and set the foundation for autonomous, self-optimizing operations across the R2L network. You will raise the bar for technical program management across the organization — establishing mechanisms, standards, and operating rhythms that other teams adopt. Key job responsibilities \- Own the lifecycle of large, complex, multi-team technology programs from concept through delivery — defining the long-term roadmap for data solutions, intelligent analytics, and platform modernization across the R2L value chain (Launch, Planning, Operations, and Analytics). \- Champion the adoption of Generative AI tools, drive measurable productivity gains, and establish best practices for AI-assisted planning, execution, and reporting. \- Drive alignment across senior stakeholders — Product, Business Intelligence Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, and Systems Development — on definitions, standards, architecture, and priorities. \- Influence system owners, architecture decisions, and organizational priorities across VP orgs, operating effectively without direct authority. \- Establish scalable delivery mechanisms — intake, prioritization, roadmap governance, operating cadences, and risk management — adopted across the org. \- Own program communication — drive crisp decisions, clear blockers, escalate appropriately, and present effectively to senior leadership; draft strategic documents (MTR, MBR/QBR, design docs, PR/FAQ, OP1/OP2) that synthesize complex problems into clear narratives.
