About This Role

We are hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own Apex's most complex programs end to end. You will plan and drive the work, keep engineering leaders and executives clear on status and risk, and partner directly with engineering and product on the technical and business trade-offs that shape delivery.

Duties/Responsibilities

• Own complex programs end to end. Plan and sequence the work, track dependencies, and escalate risks early with mitigation strategies.
• Translate business goals into program plans, independently validating scope and requirements across concurrent workstreams and surfacing gaps before they become execution risk.
• Keep your programs' plans, forecasts, and commitments current, and feed them into portfolio planning so capacity and sequencing decisions have accurate inputs.
• Work with Legal, Compliance, Vendor Management, and Sales through established escalation paths, often coordinating several of these groups on the same timeline.
• Run stakeholder meetings and deliver clear status, forecasts, and risk reporting to engineering leaders, executives, and external partners.
• Track and report against delivery metrics for your programs, and use that data to drive prioritization and trade-off conversations.
• Partner closely with engineering and product on key technical and business trade-offs, and make sure program outputs meet the quality bar agreed in planning.
• Improve the processes you work in, adopting the shared frameworks and tooling and contributing improvements back to them.
• Mentor program managers earlier in their careers on planning, stakeholder management, and executive communication.

Education and/or Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Software Engineering, Project Management, or a related field.
• 7+ years of experience in technical program management.
• Experience in strategic planning and business analysis.
• Proven track record of managing multiple large-scale projects or programs concurrently.

Required Skills/Abilities

• Proficient in the use of MS Office and other agile collaboration & work tracking tools (Jira/Linear, Confluence/Notion, Looker/Tableau or SQL, GitHub, Slack, etc.).
• Demonstrated technical fluency sufficient to engage credibly with engineering and architecture stakeholders on solution trade-offs.
• Outstanding organizational abilities and sound judgment under ambiguity.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, capable of working effectively with cross-functional teams and executive audiences.

Work Environment

• This job operates in an office environment 3 days per week.

We offer a robust package of employee perks and benefits, including healthcare benefits (medical, dental and vision, EAP), competitive PTO, 401k match, parental leave, and HSA contribution match.
