Role
We are looking for a Sr. Staff Technical Program Manager to join our team.

The Technical Program Management team within the Reliability Engineering and Infrastructure Services (REIS) organization is seeking an experienced, highly technical Project / Program Manager to lead complex, internal infrastructure and services initiatives, large-scale Data Center (DC) migrations, and building new cloud environments.
Operating within our cross-functional program management organization, this position functions primarily as an internally-facing, hands-on Technical Project Manager (explicitly distinct from Product Management) responsible for orchestrating cross-functional technical projects across various teams for our cloud infrastructure. The ideal candidate brings a deep technical foundation in server, network, data center operations, building new clouds, and DC migration execution paired with proven hands-on project management expertise.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)

- Establish robust project/program management frameworks, project management playbooks, continuous process improvement initiatives, and operational documentation to elevate execution rigor across REIS projects
- Drive proactive risk management, technical dependency tracking, and executive governance across REIS programs—identifying critical blockers early, establishing mitigation plans, and communicating strategic progress to leadership
- Maintain high data integrity across internal operational platforms and PM tools (Jira, Confluence, dashboards, and spreadsheets) to drive transparent, data-informed program decisions
Who You Are (Success Profile)
- You thrive in ambiguity and feel comfortable building the path as you walk it, viewing a dynamic environment not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
- You act like an owner with a passion for the mission that fuels your bias for action, operating with integrity and navigating seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execut
