Technical Program Manager

Title: Technical Program Manager Location: Minneapolis, MN, United States

We are looking for an experienced Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead end-to-end

delivery of a complex, enterprise-scale AI program, including multiple parallel use cases,

shared platform capabilities, and cross-functional engineering teams.

The TPM will be accountable for integrated program planning, delivery execution,

dependencies, risks, milestones, and stakeholder communication. This role requires a

proactive leader who can bridge the gap between business stakeholders and engineering

teams, translate technical complexity into clear business outcomes, and ensure alignment

across all delivery streams.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical program management experience, business

and product understanding, technical fluency, and excellent executive communication

skills. Direct AI program experience is highly valued but is not a strict requirement.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program delivery across the entire AI program, including individual

use cases and shared platform initiatives.

• Develop and maintain integrated program plans, roadmaps, milestones, critical

paths, and delivery forecasts.

• Coordinate multiple engineering teams, product owners, architects, and business

stakeholders.

• Proactively identify and manage dependencies, risks, resource conflicts, and delivery

blockers.

• Maintain visibility into backlogs, priorities, scope changes, and short-term and long-

term delivery commitments.

• Translate business requirements into clear engineering delivery context and

communicate technical progress in business-friendly language.

• Align business objectives, product definitions of success, acceptance criteria, and

delivery milestones.

• Drive stakeholder decisions, escalations, mitigation plans, and recovery actions.

• Provide clear, concise executive-level reporting on program status, risks, delivery

forecasts, and business outcomes.

• Challenge assumptions, identify gaps, and ask the right technical questions without

taking ownership of architectural decisions.

Mandatory Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in technical program management or complex technical

delivery leadership.

• 5+ years of accountable ownership of complex, multi-team programs, including

integrated planning, milestones, dependencies, and delivery forecasting.

• Proven experience managing multiple parallel delivery streams and cross-functional

engineering teams.

• Experience delivering complex enterprise software, data, or platform solutions into

production.

• Strong understanding of SDLC, software engineering practices, integration, testing,

and release management.

• Working understanding of AI-enabled / AI-first software delivery and its impact on

engineering processes.

• Practical familiarity with AI initiatives and awareness of AI-specific delivery risks.

• Strong technical fluency in enterprise architecture
