About the Role

As a strategic and adaptable Staff Technical Program Manager, you will own the strategy and delivery of large-scale, cross-organizational initiatives across Ads Engineering. This role is critical to driving execution of high-impact programs spanning ad-serving systems, data platforms, monetization workflows, and cross-program integrations with Pandora and broader SiriusXM systems. This is a senior individual contributor role requiring deep architectural literacy, systems thinking, and the ability to define program strategy — not simply execute against it. You will partner directly with engineering and product leadership to shape multi-year roadmaps, co-own program strategy, streamline org-wide governance, and deliver outcomes that materially impact platform scalability, monetization performance, and global platform capabilities.

Responsibilities

Establish and own the strategy and end-to-end delivery of large, cross-organizational Ads Engineering initiatives from intake through launch.
Function as Workstream lead for select cross-organizational initiatives spanning multiple engineering teams.
Maintain roadmap and delivery commitments for multiple teams within the Ad Technology organization.
Coordinate program structure, milestones, sequencing, interdependencies, and success metrics.
Proactively identify, forecast, and mitigate delivery risks and issues.
Use data to drive sustainable planning and transparent tradeoff discussions.
Provide portfolio-level visibility and structured analysis to advise on prioritization and resource allocation decisions.
Drive high-stakes tradeoff decisions with Director/VP level engineering and product leadership.
Apply proficient architectural literacy across ad-serving, real-time bidding, data pipelines, monetization platforms, and distributed infrastructure.
Guide teams toward scalable, aligned technical solutions.
Review system designs, challenge assumptions, and proactively solve downstream impacts.
Manage capacity, risks, technical debt, velocity, and operational readiness.
Anticipate long-term platform risks and scalability constraints.
Serve as the go-to Technical Program Manager and subject matter expert for complex cross-program integrations.
Influence roadmap alignment across Ads, Pandora, and related programs.
Own program-level strategy across multiple teams, including dependency mapping, sequencing, and integration planning.
Co-own Ads Technology program strategy, shaping roadmap prioritization.
Advocate for program(s) health and long-term strategy.
Define and institutionalize Ads TPM org-wide program governance standards, operating models, and best practices.
Mentor and uplevel other TPMs, and cross-functional partners.
Continuously improve governance and delivery processes.
Establish and facilitate team-level ceremonies including daily standups, sprint planning, backlog refinement, retrospectives, and/or other meetings.
Partner with TPM leadership to run program level ceremonies.
Define, instrument, and socialize delivery and operational health metrics.
Build formal cross-functional networks across Product, Engineering, Data, Infrastructure, and partner programs.
Serve as the connective layer between Engineering, Product, Quality, Operations, and external stakeholders.
Present clear, scenario-based decision paths to engineering and business leadership.
Resolve conflict and maintain alignment across directors, tech leads, and cross-functional partners.
