Role Summary

The company is hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own the planning, execution, and operational health of complex, cross-functional programs across our VPP platform and consumer energy products. This role sits within the Technical Program Management team, reporting to the Director of Technical Program Management, and operates with significant independence to define how programs are structured, tracked, and delivered.

This is not a coordination role. The TPM at this level is expected to build and own the frameworks that make execution reliable, communicate tradeoffs and risks in ways that drive decisions, and serve as an operational and technical thought partner to Engineering and Product leadership. Significant cross-functional situational awareness is required -- this person will regularly work across Engineering, Product, Design, Business Development, Customer Success, Grid Operations, and strategic planning functions.

What You Will Do

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-team programs spanning Engineering, Product, and Design, from scoping through launch and operational handoff.

• Define and maintain the planning frameworks, milestone structures, and risk models that enable predictable delivery across your programs -- not just track against plans others set.

• Identify, escalate, and drive resolution of cross-functional dependencies, blockers, and tradeoffs with clear recommendations, not just status updates.

• Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to set and pressure-test roadmap sequencing, resource assumptions, and launch readiness criteria.

• Drive programs through the full product lifecycle, with particular focus on launch readiness, post-launch metric validation, operational handoff to sustaining teams, and ensuring downstream stakeholders -- including Business Development, Customer Success, Grid Operations, and partner-facing functions -- are informed, equipped, and ready to operate before a program is formally closed.

• Develop and share operational practices and retrospective learnings that raise the execution standard across the broader TPM team.

• Serve as a decision-support resource for your stakeholders -- synthesizing technical and schedule complexity into clear options and tradeoffs for leadership.

• Maintain cross-functional situational awareness across interdependent programs, surfacing risks and misalignments before they become escalations.

Requirements

• 7+ years of Technical Program Management or Engineering Program Management experience, with at least 3 years managing programs that span multiple engineering teams.

• Jira experience required, Jira admin experience preferred.

• Some experience managing technical programs involving hardware or hardware–software integration is required.

• Demonstrated ability to build or substantially improve program management systems and frameworks, not just operate within existing ones.

• Strong technical (software and/or hardware) foundation -- sufficient to pressure-test engineering estimates, understand architectural tradeoffs, and engage credibly with senior engineers.

• Track record of driving alignment across functions without formal authority, particularly in environments where priorities compete and stakeholders span technical and non-technical functions.

• Clear, direct communicator who can translate program complexity into executive-level narratives and decision points.

• Experience with consumer-facing software products.

• Preferred:

• Experience in energy, grid services, IoT, or related infrastructure-adjacent domains.

• Familiarity with VPP, demand response, or utility partner integration programs.

• Experience managing programs that involve external partners, device fleets, or regulated operational environments.
