As the Technical Program Manager for New Technology Deployment, you will be supporting the seamless introduction and implementation of innovative technologies across our business. This role requires a unique blend of technical expertise, project management acumen, and exceptional stakeholder management skills.
You will serve as the subject matter expert on the technical aspects of new technology programs, deeply understanding the challenges and solutions to drive informed decision-making. Simultaneously, you will navigate the complex web of stakeholders, facilitating effective communication and alignment to ensure coordinated execution. Owning the deployment process, you will be the primary new technologies point of contact for the RME field, developing comprehensive plans and proactively addressing customer-facing issues. Additionally, you will leverage agile and lean methodologies to manage the full lifecycle of these new technology deployment programs, overseeing cross-functional teams and providing regular progress updates to leadership.
This role is a mix of a technical program manager and a deployment manager, where you will need to engage with technology owners, understand the technical issues associated with each program, and have excellent stakeholder management skills to navigate the complexity and ambiguity of the scope. You will have the autonomy and customer obsession to ensure the RME field has all the information they need, and you will be responsible for leading and dealing with escalations. In this fast-paced, ever-changing environment, you will need to demonstrate ownership, the ability to "be right a lot," and the talent to earn trust across diverse partners and business disciplines. If you are a technically-savvy program manager with a passion for driving innovation and a commitment to customer satisfaction, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity.
