Head of Technical Programme Management

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager to drive execution across our product and engineering organizations. Reporting to the Director of Technical Program Management, you will own the end-to-end delivery of cross‑functional initiatives: keeping programs and projects on track, risks visible, and teams aligned.

Key Responsibilities Own the planning, execution, and delivery of assigned cross‑functional programs through the entire lifecycle.

Build and maintain project and program roadmaps that give stakeholders clear visibility into priorities, dependencies, milestones, and risks.

Drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Sales through structured planning cycles, reviews, and release coordination.

Apply and contribute to FORT’s program management processes and tooling: keeping things lean, repeatable, and audit‑ready.

Identify and proactively resolve blockers, dependencies, and resource constraints before they become delivery risks.

Partner with engineering leads and product managers to ensure customer commitments are scoped, tracked, and met.

Cultural Expectations Accomplish the Impossible: Set ambitious delivery goals and create the structures that help teams achieve them even when the path isn’t obvious.

Build Together: Earn trust across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Operations and help those teams work as one.

Think Out Loud: Create visibility, communicate risks early, and make it safe for teams to surface problems before they become crises.

Deliver a Customer Experience Worthy of Loyalty: Understand that every program outcome has a customer on the other end and that our reputation for delivery is a competitive advantage.

Qualifications 4 - 7 years of experience in product, program, or project management, ideally in a fast‑moving hardware and/or software product environment.

Proven experience managing complex, cross‑functional programs in robotics, autonomy, industrial tech, or similar environments strongly preferred.

Familiarity with both Agile and stage‑gate delivery methodologies, and the judgment to apply the right one in the right context.

Comfortable operating in a high‑growth environment where priorities shift quickly, and ambiguity is the norm, not the exception.

PMP or equivalent certification is a plus, but not required.
