Job Title: Technical Program Manager
Location: NYC, NY & Boston, MA
Contract: 4 month contract to hire( Onsite)
 

About the Role :

• A Technical Program Manager drives complex, cross-team technical programs that require deep coordination across our client's engineering domains (AI, Data, Platform, Infrastructure, SRE, End User Computing). 
• TPMs partner closely with engineering & product leadership to deliver initiatives where architecture, integration, reliability, performance, and technical trade-offs are central to success.  
• TPMs are expected to be technically fluent (able to understand system design, APIs, data flows, reliability constraints), while remaining primarily accountable for program execution, cross-functional alignment, and outcomes. 
• They will partner closely with technical leads to drive the technical implementation plans and roadmaps.   
• TPMs must be able to work in a complex environment with matrixed teams and organizations. 
• TPMs must provide project/program visibility to technical and business stakeholders around key projects, status, risks, and post-launch metrics.  

key Responsibilities: 

• Program strategy & planning 
• Define program objectives, success metrics, scope boundaries, and sequencing.  
• Build an integrated roadmap across teams; manage critical path and trade-offs. 

Technical coordination:  

• Translate business goals into technical milestones and engineering deliverables.  
• Drive integration plans across services, APIs, data contracts, and environments.  
• Ensure non-functional requirements are planned: reliability, scalability, security, privacy, cost, and observability.  

Execution leadership : 

• Establish operating cadence across internal & dependent teams (working session,  
• project reviews, milestone reviews, launch readiness, go/no-go).  
• Anticipate bottlenecks; negotiate sequencing and resourcing with engineering leaders.  
• Own RAID management and escalation with options and recommendations.  

 
Release & operational readiness : 

• Drive launch plans, cutovers, feature flags, rollback strategies, and runbooks.  
• Partner with SRE/Infra to ensure monitoring, alerting, SLOs, and on-call readiness.  

Stakeholder management : 

• Align engineering, product/business, security/compliance, and operations.  
• Communicate progress and trade-offs clearly to leadership; maintain a decision log.  
• A TPM consistently:  
• Drives cross-team execution without relying on escalation as the primary lever.  
• Makes ambiguity smaller: produces clear charters, milestones, and dependency maps.  
• Understands enough technical detail to: Ask the right questions, Surface integration risks early, Identify missing work (e.g., telemetry, data backfills, DR, access controls) 
• Anticipates and manages systemic risks (migration complexity, reliability debt, data quality).  
• Ships with operational excellence: readiness reviews, runbooks, SLOs, post-launch validation.

Required  Skill: 

• Strong program management fundamentals (project planning, dependency mapping, RAID, stakeholder management).  
•
