Job Description:

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly technical, execution‑focused Technical Program Manager (TPM) in the Phoenix, AZ or Southlake, TX areas with a strong background in Java-based software development, hands‑on experience as a technical lead, and working knowledge of DevOps practices and modern engineering toolchains.

This role requires deep familiarity with the complexities of modern application development—architectural decision-making, dependency management, integration challenges, and risk mitigation.

The TPM will work as a core member of the software development organization, reporting directly to Senior Development Managers. As a bridge between engineering teams and cross‑functional partners, this individual must advocate for technical strategy, support team priorities, and drive clarity and alignment across the organization.

• Engage closely with development teams to understand system architecture, design, and integration points.
• Provide guidance grounded in Java engineering expertise.
• Identify technical risks early and drive cross‑team resolution (architects, QA, DevOps, SRE, partner teams).
• Support dependency management, service integration, and environment readiness.
• Ensure data‑driven engineering decisions aligned with long‑term product and platform strategies.

• Lead end‑to‑end planning, execution, and delivery of complex software development programs.
• Coordinate cross‑functional workstreams and maintain clear ownership across teams.
• Establish dashboards, KPIs, and communication mechanisms for leadership transparency.
• Drive continuous improvement in estimation, sprint execution, release processes, and operational readiness.

• Collaborate with DevOps and platform teams to improve CI/CD robustness, deployment automation, and environment stability.
• Contribute to workflow enhancements including versioning strategies, build orchestration, and performance monitoring.
• Support adoption of modern engineering practices such as microservices, containerization, cloud‑native tools, and automated testing frameworks.

• Advocate for engineering teams by ensuring technical priorities, strategy, and constraints are clearly communicated.
• Facilitate clear communication with non‑technical stakeholders regarding goals, milestones, risks, and impacts.
• Build strong working relationships across product, business, compliance, security, and infrastructure teams.

• Promote an engineering culture focused on excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.
• Mentor teams on best practices in program execution.
• Champion clarity, structure, and predictable delivery while remaining adaptable to shifting business needs.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 8+ years of project/program management experience leading large‑scale, cross‑functional initiatives.
• Proven track record of delivering complex, high‑visibility programs in challenging environments.
• Ability to build strong trust with sponsors and stakeholders.
• Strong capability to influence and navigate highly matrixed organizations.
• Exceptional problem-solving, analytical thinking, and decision-making skills.
• Deep knowledge of project management tools, practices, and methodologies.
• Ability to communicate complex information clearly across diverse audiences.
• Experience overseeing planning, implementation, and support of business application components.
• Comfortable working across multiple time zones and dynamic environments.

• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Familiarity with distributed systems, microservices, and modern integration patterns.
• Ability to work independently and navigate ambiguity effectively.

• Team Collaboration: Partner with Product Owners, SMEs, and Business Analysts to brainstorm, problem-solve, and present solutions.
• Learning Activities: Participate in training, team discussions, assessments, and leadership meetings.
• Technical Leadership: Engage in ongoing career discussions, provide feedback, and help support development of high-performing teams.
• Strengths Application: Learn and apply personal strengths and abilities within a strengths‑based team culture.

• Demonstrates integrity, commitment, and strong ethical standards.
• Inquisitive, analytical, strategic thinker with a solutions-oriented mindset.
• High-energy, positive, entrepreneurial, and purposeful.
• Self‑starter who works independently with strong initiative.
• Highly organized, detail‑oriented, and disciplined.
• Authentic, direct communicator with strong presentation and facilitation skills.

• Hands‑on experience developing and implementing code.
• Exposure to large‑scale investment management environments supporting individuals, trusts, retirement plans, foundations, and endowments.
• Opportunities to research, design, and present improvements in processes and technologies.
