## Description

GitHub is the developer company and the home of open source. We make it easier for developers to be developers: to work together, to solve challenging problems, and to create the world's most important technologies. We foster a collaborative community that can come together-as individuals and in teams-to create the future of software and make a difference in the world.

The Technical Program Management (TPM) organization leads the delivery of GitHub's most critical product and business initiatives. TPMs help bring new products and capabilities to market by driving execution across engineering, product, design, go-to-market, and business functions.

Responsibilities

The Technical Program Manager partners with engineering leaders, product managers, and stakeholders across GitHub to build and execute comprehensive program plans, manage dependencies and risks, and ensure teams deliver high-quality outcomes. TPMs provide clear communication, drive alignment, and help leaders make informed decisions throughout the lifecycle of complex initiatives.

Successful TPMs are technically credible, operationally rigorous, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. They bring together diverse teams, balance competing priorities, and make thoughtful tradeoff recommendations that optimize for overall program success.

This role sits within GitHub's Security Products organization. The TPM will partner closely with engineering, product, and business leaders to deliver capabilities that help developers build secure, high-quality software by default. Programs may span application security, software supply chain security, AI-powered security capabilities, developer platforms, and large-scale product launches that reach GitHub's global customer base.

The TPM is also expected to help scale the TPM practice through process improvements, operational excellence, and the development of reusable tools and frameworks. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced TPM who enjoys solving complex technical and business challenges, working across organizational boundaries, and influencing senior leaders to drive impactful outcomes.
