About Philo At Philo, we’re a group of technology and product people who set out to build the future of television, marrying the best in modern technology with the most compelling medium ever invented — in short, we’re building the TV experience that we’ve always wanted for ourselves.

About the Program Management team Philo’s Program Management team is the connective tissue that makes our most complex technical and product initiatives actually land.

The Role We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own end‑to‑end execution of multi‑platform technical programs at Philo.
