Required
You are a systems thinker who owns and drives cross-functional engineering initiatives to completion You're comfortable managing ambiguity, removing blockers, and keeping distributed teams aligned on shared outcomes. You build clarity and momentum through intentional program design, structured communication, and learning programs that develop the organization while shipping results.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Engineering Effectiveness, you'll own delivery program management across the engineering organization, from major infrastructure and platform initiatives to org-wide enablement and process improvements. You'll work flexibly across high-priority projects, coordinate learning and development programs that enable execution, and foster the practices and community that make engineering operate as a cohesive, high-functioning unit.
This role offers the opportunity to shape how engineering executes at scale, designing the systems, programs, and rhythms that help teams ship faster, develop their craft, and stay aligned on what matters most.
Your Success Profile
What You Will Work On
Lead cross-engineering program delivery: Own execution of major engineering initiatives. Manage timelines, dependencies, stakeholder communications, and outcomes. Remove blockers and drive clarity when ambiguity threatens progress.
Design and operationalize learning and enablement programs: Build structured programs for skill development, new-engineer onboarding, and emerging tech adoption. Partner with teams to identify capability gaps and design learning paths that directly support delivery. Measure participation and outcomes.
Coordinate engineering-wide forums and rituals: Plan and facilitate forums that keep engineering aligned and energized: functional kickoffs, all-hands, internal demos, roundtables, technology blog, technical showcases. Ensure these rhythms support visibility and decision-making, not just information-sharing.
Drive process and operational improvements: Identify bottlenecks in how work gets done. Partner with the team on operations infrastructure and with engineering leadership to implement changes that reduce friction and strengthen consistency.
Build reporting and visibility mechanisms: Design dashboards, metrics frameworks, and communication channels that give engineering leadership and individual contributors clear sight lines into progress, health, and blockers.
Partner with recruiting and people teams on engineering talent initiatives: Contribute to employer positioning, support technical hiring events and sourcing, and help shape onboarding and early-career development experiences.
Support the Development phase of the Product Development Lifecycle (PDLC): Ensure teams have the tools, processes, and enablement needed for execution. Work with Pradnya on platform-specific operational support.
