We are looking for an experienced Technical Program Manager to join our Ads TPM team within the Tech PMO (Technical Program Management Office), supporting the Ads Product & Engineering organization. As a TPM, you will lead your team in driving cross-functional initiatives that span multiple technical teams. In this role, you’ll own and drive technical programs in the Ads Monetization engineering space, many of which will require you to work cross-functionally across multiple engineering teams at Reddit. You’ll partner with engineering leaders across the company to evaluate prioritization, tradeoffs and risks related to the programs you own.
Who we are:
The Technical Program Management Office (Tech PMO) exists to accelerate, scale, and empower all teams at Reddit to do their best work and advance our company’s mission. We operate from within the office of the CTO, maximizing our ability to galvanize and drive technical programs and solutions to solve company-wide problems. We drive operational excellence within the organizations we partner with and our reach extends across the entire company.
At Reddit, Technical Program Managers use technical judgment to define and drive large programs across multiple engineering teams. They are a welcome partner to engineering leaders in project discussions impacting planning and execution. They engage with engineering staff in determining root causes, identifying and selecting alternative solutions, and using their technical expertise to understand the effects, impacts, and risks of a solution. Above and beyond program-level impact, they build execution processes and reduce inefficiencies to build overall scale.
What you’ll do:
High-quality technical program management is a distinct and high-value skillset, and while the roles generally don’t involve direct management, they are a part of the organizational leadership. In this role, you will:
- Get Things Done. More than just displaying activity, counting sprint points, or delivering regular updates. You actually bring projects to completion, deliver real accomplishments for the business, and help your teams understand the difference.
- Dive into Details. You understand the details of their projects and help guide them with and in active partnership with their teams. You don’t just stay in the stratosphere or in an abstract process. You have the technical judgment to act as a partner with your teams in planning and decision-making.
- Make Work Repeatable. You create and improve processes that smooth the path for others and prevent and remove recurring organizational toil (and the lower quality bar that often allows). You reuse processes developed elsewhere, and aid in the adoption of standards where relevant.
- Mentor & Lead. You are good at, and enjoy, informally aiding others in developing key organizational and project skills. You’re a leader within your projects and support people in the process.
- Bring Order out of Chaos. You are known for leaving a program and the teams you support in a position of stronger organization than where they started, and those teams continue to succeed even when you are no longer specifically engaged in the project.
What We Can Expect From You:
- 8+ years of collective experience in engineering and program management roles, with at least 4 years focused on digital ads platforms or ads monetization.
- Strong communication and influencing skills.
- A team player mentality with the ability to work collaboratively across all levels of the organization.
- Proactive and curious by nature. You are creative and enjoy taking unique approaches to solve problems.
- Pragmatic; you take an iterative approach to developing processes and systems
- Technical depth and judgment.
- Analytical problem-solving experience with large-scale systems.
