You cut through complexity rather than adding to it, and your default is the simplest solution that works. * Proven track record working with non-technical business partners - setting expectations, delivering clear status updates, and holding programs accountable to outcomes they can act on. * Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or equivalent) on the operational and program management work- professional or personal - in real work, not just experimentation. You should be able to speak to how AI changes the way you work. * Experience managing vendor relationships and third-party implementation programs, including change-management risk. * Hands-on experience with Agile delivery, sprint planning, backlog management, and Jira or equivalent tooling. * Strong written communication skills to convey technical complexity succinctly. * Comfort working in a setting where contracts guide the workflow. * Track record of managing programs through multiple concurrent system transitions. Nice to Have: * Experience in AI-first or agent-first operating models. * Experience assessing build versus buy options and providing organized leadership advice. * Background with creative production, digital asset management, or approval workflow systems. * Familiarity with Smartsheet or similar platforms and their integration capabilities. * Background in game, media, publishing, or consumer products industries. * Familiarity with engineering observability and flow-metric tooling as program-management signal sources., Agile Programming Methodologies, Alliance/Partner Marketing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Atlassian JIRA, Backlog Prioritization, Capacity Analysis, Communication Skills, Concurrency, Concurrent Programming Language Family, Cross-Functional, Digital Asset Management, Diversity, Establish Priorities, Leadership, Machine Tool, Make-Versus-Buy Analysis, Metrics, Operations Management, Organizational Skills, Problem Solving Skills, Product Engineering, Production Systems, Program Management Professional (PgMP), Project Management Software, Project/Program Management, Publishing, Quality Metrics, Risk, Sprint Planning, Storytelling, Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), Technical Leadership, Vendor/Supplier Relations, Writing Skills ## Description In the role of Senior Technical Program Manager, you will be central to driving our forward-thinking and ambitious projects.
