Our vision is to reimagine the way people come together, from anywhere in the world, and on any device.

We're looking for a Contract Technical Program Manager to support our Product, Data Science & Analytics (DSA), and Engineering organizations during a high-activity period.
This is a hands-on execution role. You'll partner with established leaders and cross-functional teams to keep programs moving, surface operational gaps, and help build lightweight systems that improve how we work.
What You Will Do
Define and Lead Organization-Wide Programs
Program Execution & Coordination
- Manage day-to-day execution of cross-functional programs across Product, DSA, and Engineering
- Track milestones, dependencies, and risks; flag issues early and drive them to resolution
- Support recurring operational forums (data reviews, product reviews) — prep materials, capture decisions, and follow up on action items
Data & Metrics Support
- Partner with Data Engineering and Analytics teams to support data quality tracking and dashboard maintenance
- Help document ownership and standards for key metrics and reporting workflows
- Assist in monitoring ETL pipeline health and escalating issues appropriately
Operational Improvements
- Identify friction points in existing workflows and propose practical, low-overhead fixes
- Help build or refine playbooks, intake processes, and coordination mechanisms
- Support rollout and adoption of new processes across teams
Stakeholder Communication
- Prepare clear status updates and program summaries for senior stakeholders
- Facilitate alignment meetings and ensure follow-through on decisions
What You Bring
- 4–7 years of experience in Technical Program Management, Product Operations, or a related role
- Solid understanding of data systems, analytics workflows, or instrumentation (you don't need to be an engineer, but you need to speak the language)
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
- Clear, direct communicator — written and verbal
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and ramping quickly in a fast-moving environment
- Experience at a mid-to-large tech company preferred
You Are
- A force multiplier who significantly increases the effectiveness of the entire organization.
- A builder and operator, equally skilled in defining strategy and driving execution.
- A clear, direct communicator who can influence effectively at all levels without direct authority.
- Energized by scale, ambiguity, and high-stakes, complex problems.
