Description

• The Device OS Team builds the OS components which enable internal and external partners to launch Applications, Services, and Devices that our customers love. As a Senior Technical Program Manager you will own the mechanisms by which the organization plans its work and delivers it — the planning cadence, the commitment process, and the reporting that tells leadership and partners where every effort stands. The Role: Work with key stakeholders in product management and engineering to define how the organization commits to work and delivers it against a predictable schedule. Own the planning events where teams decide and validate what they are delivering, and drive clear, honest commitment decisions out of them. Maintain the mapping from roadmap to delivery schedule so every planned outcome has a home and every delivery has a clear set of commitments. Communicate regularly with senior management as the single source of truth on status, risks, and change control across all efforts in flight. Key job responsibilities - Own the commitment mechanism — the process by which teams commit to work for a given delivery window, with the tooling and discipline to make a clear "committed or not" answer stick. - Run the recurring planning cadence from preparation through facilitation to the decisions that come out of it, anticipating bottlenecks and providing escalation management. - Make tradeoffs while balancing business needs with technical constraints, and hold teams to honest commitments without being pulled off course by any single deadline. - Create mechanisms to drive timely, accurate, and comprehensive execution. Create clarity, eliminate obstacles, and drive issue resolution so deliverables and timelines are met. Drive continuous improvement so the delivery mechanisms get better over time. - Serve as the single source of truth on cross-effort status — accurate, trend-aware, and honest about risk — for leadership and the partners who depend on the platform. - Serve as a trusted advisor to product and engineering teams. About the team The Device OS team invents ways to help customers develop complex applications deployed on multiple device types. Release Management is the function that turns a continuous stream of engineering work into stable, predictable delivery the teams who build on the platform can plan against.
