Description

We are seeking a Technical Infrastructure Program Manager to manage Day 1 and Day 2 implementation programs with considerable global impact.

The program may focus on a single product in a critical technology area or work more broadly, managing larger initiatives that span organizations or geographies in support of a larger business objective. You will be responsible for the delivery of large and complex projects that may or may not be tied to a wider program. You will be assigned to manage the roadmap for an organization, which may include contributing to operational planning narratives, and ownership of one or more organizational goals.

As a technology program owner, you are accountable for the overall strategy as well as driving teams inside and outside CIS organization to deliver. You will define the program (mission, vision, tenets), set objectives, analyze data, drive improvements that are quantified with metrics, and influence resource allocation. You understand the systems in your product or program space, their limitations, scaling factors, boundary conditions, and reasons behind architectural decisions (Q. Why did we build X? What business goal does it solve? Do we need to build something else– if so why?).

To ensure business and technical stakeholder needs are aligned, you will drive mindful discussions that lead to crisp decisions. You are expected to provide context (past, current, and future) for business/technology choices and a long-term perspective. You will partner with customers and engineering teams to determine which projects move forward and in what priority order. You will use your technical judgment to question proposals and test assumptions (Q. Do we need to build this at all?). Working closely with CIL Engineers and CIS Delivery TPMS you will also enlist Senior/Principal Engineer to ensure architecture(s) scale (or will scale) to match the "think big" business case. You will make smart trade-offs (e.g., time vs. effort vs. features). You will be expected to create plans that have clear, measurable success criteria and clearly communicate progress and outcomes.

The candidate should have a depth of project and program management knowledge, good understanding of various IT technologies and the ability to hold teams accountable while owning project/program outcomes with impact on global customers. You should have a background in supporting customers in an enterprise environment, working with internal or external teams.
