Technical Program Manager | Cloud Infrastructure & Migration

As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) at NinjaOne, you will own the programs that take us from a single-cloud service on AWS to a multi-cloud platform. You will lead the work of standing up and operating production environments on GCP, Azure, and other major providers, and you will drive the migration of workloads across them. You will join a newly formed team and run complex, multi-threaded programs from concept to delivery across Engineering, SRE, DevOps, Security, and Product. You will map technical dependencies, mitigate risk, and keep stakeholders informed through high-signal reporting., * Lead cloud migration and multi-cloud programs: Own end-to-end delivery of programs that stand up new cloud environments and migrate production workloads, including data, services, networking, identity, and observability. Define cutover strategies, rollback plans, and success criteria.

• Outline program goals: Define goals and deliverables for each initiative, and build alignment and shared vision within the working group. Partner with Engineering leaders to translate technical constraints into requirements or acceptable workarounds.
• Coordinate across teams: Work with Development, QA, SRE, DevOps, Security, and Senior Leadership through weekly reviews and status checkpoints. Understand the full product delivery cycle and where cloud changes touch it.
• Manage complexity and dependencies: Build and maintain project plans, dependency charts, and a risk register. Manage multiple concurrent workstreams without losing sight of the critical path. Report through Executive Summaries and Detailed Status updates.
• Measure and instrument: Define what “great” looks like for each program and make it measurable. Establish baselines (for example, migration progress, cost, latency, availability, and delivery metrics), instrument them, and use them to surface problems early rather than to narrate progress.
• Manage risk and stakeholders: Identify technical, resource, cost, and compliance risks early, own mitigation strategies, and report transparently to senior leadership. Run audits, checkpoints, and milestone reviews.
• Drive change management: Anticipate and manage change through impact assessment, communication, and timely decisions.
• Influence and resolve conflict: Build trust-based relationships across the organization, bring options to the table, and drive consensus so programs keep moving.
• Other duties as needed., *Due to operational policies, NinjaOne is unable to hire for this role within the city limits of Chicago. We will consider all qualified candidates who reside outside of the city proper or are willing to self-relocate., Leads delivery of complex software features for desktop utility design tools, translating ambiguous requirements into technical plans and managing performance, correctness, and reliability.
