Associate Technical Program Manager - Remote

Overview

We’re looking for a technically-savvy program lead to coordinate cross-functional efforts and assist with execution on initiatives. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of engineering, data, and product — someone who can marshal a host of details to create a big picture.

In Short

• Support the planning, execution, and delivery of engineering projects that span multiple teams.
• Serve as a technical liaison, ensuring clear communication across teams, resolving blockers, and promoting transparency in project progress.
• Define project scope, objectives, deliverables, timelines, and roadmaps for small to medium engineering initiatives in collaboration with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders.
• Coordinate technical initiatives that may not be included on formal product roadmaps.
• Organize and facilitate project-related meetings, retrospectives, and planning sessions.
• Track and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success and efficiency of engineering efforts.
• Apply knowledge of web development technologies (e.g., Python, Java, PHP, JavaScript, and frameworks such as React, Node, or Remix) to better support engineering teams.
• Operate effectively in multi-team engineering environments, such as front-end web application teams working in partnership with back-end API teams.
• Use project management tools (e.g., ProductBoard, Jira, Asana) to maintain alignment and project visibility.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to diverse audiences, both written and verbal.

Requirements

• Experience working with Agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban) in a technical environment is preferred.
• Familiarity with Lightcast’s chosen infrastructure providers (AWS, Snowflake, Gitlab, Gitlab pipelines) is preferred.

Benefits

• Flexibility in working hours.
• Opportunity to work remotely.
