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.
