What We’re Looking For We’re hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to play a pivotal role in Perchwell’s next phase of scale. This is a strategic execution role for a proven program leader who thrives in complex, high-accountability environments. You’ll partner with Product, Engineering, Design, Data, QA, Customer Success, Implementation, and executive leadership to ensure predictable delivery across our most critical initiatives, including transformational infrastructure and MLS-specific deliverables. You’ll bring structure to a fast-moving portfolio, surface risks early, and ensure cross-functional teams operate with clarity and alignment. This role is a strong fit if you’ve led multi-stream SaaS initiatives, managed deep technical dependencies, and built execution systems that scale with organizational complexity. What You’ll Do Lead portfolio-level program execution - define, maintain, and drive integrated delivery plans across Perchwell’s highest-priority initiatives. Establish and manage cross-initiative dependencies - proactively coordinate sequencing, shared resources, and handoffs across Product, Engineering, Design, QA, Data, and Go-To-Market teams. Implement standardized reporting and operating rhythms - provide consistent, executive-ready visibility into portfolio health, risks, trade-offs, and mitigation plans. Partner directly with executive leadership - translate strategic objectives into staged, executable plans and surface key decision points early. Elevate execution rigor across the organization - define best practices for program planning, risk management, and delivery hygiene while maintaining speed and accountability. What You’ll Need 6+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Engineering Program Management, or equivalent roles within complex SaaS organizations. Experience leading large, cross-functional initiatives with significant technical dependencies and executive visibility. Strong technical fluency and the ability to engage deeply with engineering teams on architecture, sequencing, and tradeoffs. Proven ability to operate in fast-paced, high-accountability environments with a bias toward outcomes over process. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to senior stakeholders and executives. A strategic mindset paired with hands-on execution capability - able to zoom out to see portfolio risk and zoom in to unblock delivery details. Who You Are Execution-Oriented Leader - You take ownership of outcomes and drive clarity in ambiguous environments. Systems Thinker - You see patterns across teams and anticipate second-order effects before they become issues. Collaborative Partner - You influence through trust and alignment, not hierarchy. Structured Operator - You bring discipline and visibility without introducing unnecessary process. Calm Under Pressure - You maintain focus and composure when timelines are tight and stakes are high.
