ST
Director of Technical Program Management
Samba TV · Austin, United States
About The Role
Join our team as the Director of Technical Program Management, a strategic leadership position that will shape the future of our company. You will lead and grow our TPM function, own the execution strategy for complex cross-functional initiatives, and influence key stakeholders across the organization. This role requires deep engineering discipline, ad tech domain knowledge, and proven people leadership.
- Diriger et développer l'équipe de gestion de programme technique, en établissant des normes élevées pour la propriété des programmes, la communication et la crédibilité technique.
- Définir et mettre en œuvre la stratégie d'exécution des programmes pour les initiatives les plus complexes et transversales de l'organisation technologique, de la planification annuelle à la livraison.
- Agir en tant que partenaire stratégique avec les dirigeants des départements d'ingénierie, de produit et de science des données, en alignant les feuilles de route des programmes sur les priorités commerciales.
- The right candidate brings deep engineering discipline, ad tech domain knowledge a plus, proven people leadership, and the organizational instincts to operate credibly at the senior leadership level
- MBA or advanced technical degree — valued but not required where equivalent experience is clear
- Strong command of program governance: earned value metrics, dependency management, risk mitigation, and structured escalation frameworks
- Experience with cloud-based data platforms, big data technologies, and/or real-time data pipeline infrastructure
- Expertise in Agile, Scrum, and SAFe methodologies with hands-on experience driving adoption across engineering organizations
- 10+ years of experience in technical program management, with at least 5+ years in a senior or lead TPM role
- Proven track record operating as a peer to VPs and Sr. Directors — influencing strategic decisions, representing program risk at the executive level, and driving alignment across senior leadership
- Exceptional written and verbal communication — able to adapt from engineering deep-dives to executive briefings without losing precision or credibility
- Demonstrated experience managing and developing a team of TPMs — hiring, coaching, setting standards, and building a high-performance culture
- Familiarity with ACR (Automatic Content Recognition), connected TV data, or OEM-level data collection
- Experience managing TPM functions during periods of rapid organizational growth, M&A integration, or geographic expansion
- Background in software engineering, computer science, or a related technical field — prior hands-on engineering experience gives strong credibility with technical teams
- Deep domain expertise in ad tech — including programmatic advertising, audience data platforms, measurement and attribution solutions, identity, and/or data product delivery. This is a hard requirement; candidates without ad tech context will not be considered
- Experience managing programs that span regulatory or compliance constraints (GDPR, CCPA, or similar privacy frameworks)
