Description
UTA seeks a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead complex, cross-functional technology programs that support UTA’s rapidly evolving business. In this role, you will partner with senior stakeholders across Technology, Product, Finance, and Operations to deliver large-scale initiatives that drive efficiency, scale, and innovation across the agency. The ideal candidate brings deep program management expertise, strong technical fluency, and a proven ability to operate in ambiguity while influencing both engineering teams and executive leadership.
What You Will Do
- Lead the end-to-end planning and execution of large-scale, multi-phase technology programs, ensuring alignment with strategic business goals and on-time delivery
- Partner with engineering, product, and business leaders to define scope, success criteria, and program roadmaps across multiple workstreams
- Establish and drive program governance, including status reporting, dependency and risk tracking, and stakeholder communication
- Proactively identify and resolve cross-team dependencies, ensuring accountability, alignment, and efficient decision-making across business units
- Translate complex technical concepts and trade-offs into clear business impacts and recommendations for non-technical stakeholders
- Anticipate, surface, and mitigate risks, escalating when needed while driving solutions independently and decisively
- Define, track, and communicate key program metrics to measure progress, velocity, quality, and outcomes
- Provide clear, executive-ready communication and reporting to senior and C-level stakeholders
- Roll up your sleeves when necessary—diving into technical details, clarifying requirements, and removing blockers to maintain momentum
What You Will Need
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience
- 8+ years of experience in program or project management, including at least 4 years in a dedicated Technical Program Manager role
- Strong technical background with the ability to understand system architecture, data flows, integration patterns, and engineering trade-offs
- Proven track record delivering large, cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, dynamic environments
- Demonstrated experience working closely with software engineering and product teams; familiarity with SDLC, Agile methodologies, and modern collaboration/tooling
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and drive alignment at all levels of the organization, including executives
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort using data and metrics to inform decisions and prioritize work
- Bias for action and ownership; operates as a driver of outcomes rather than a coordinator of tasks
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern data systems (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, Kafka)
- Ability to present to executive audiences with clarity and confidence, tailoring the depth of technical detail to the audience
- Exposure to AI/ML or enterprise data initiatives is preferred
- Experience in media, entertainment, or similarly fast-moving industries is preferred
What You Will Get
- The unique and exciting opportunity to work at one of a leading global entertainment companies
- Access to the tools, leadership, and resources you will need to create and drive a center of excellence
- The opportunity to do the best work of your career
- Work in an inclusive and diverse company culture
- Competitive programs to support your well-being
- Experience working in a collaborative environment with room to grow
