Join us on our mission to empower more people to find their way home by breaking barriers to entry, making the right connections, and building confidence through expert guidance.
We are looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to partner with Product, Engineering, and senior leadership on complex, high-impact initiatives across our marketplace organization.
This role supports products and systems that power lead generation, partner experiences, and revenue operations. Depending on business need, the role may support one of two adjacent areas:
Lead Services: consumer marketplace and lead products that connect people searching for a home with real estate professionals.
Enterprise Systems: billing, sales tooling, and commercial systems that support our business and revenue operations.
This is a high-trust, high-ambiguity individual contributor role. You will create structure where it does not exist, improve how teams execute, and help leaders make informed decisions across multiple programs and workstreams.
What you’ll do
Drive portfolio health and predictable delivery across complex, cross-functional programs.
Create clear visibility into progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, tradeoffs, and required actions.
Establish operating rhythms, dashboards, review cadences, and other mechanisms that improve execution across teams.
Strengthen SDLC discipline, including intake, prioritization, sequencing, planning, Definition of Ready, Definition of Done, release readiness, and operational handoffs.
Coordinate work across Engineering, Product, Design, Data, Operations, and business stakeholders.
Translate technical complexity into clear business context for directors, senior directors, executives, and cross-functional partners.
Engage engineering teams credibly on systems, architecture, integrations, dependencies, technical tradeoffs, and delivery risk.
Surface issues early, drive resolution, and create clear escalation paths when decisions or resources are needed.
Partner with product and engineering leaders to connect execution plans to customer, marketplace, and business outcomes.
Help teams improve planning, communication, accountability, and delivery predictability without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
Contribute to AI-forward ways of working, including AI-enabled workflows, automation, and decision support where they create meaningful value.
What you’ll bring
8+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering program management, delivery leadership, or a related field; 10+ years is preferred.
Demonstrated Staff-level impact across multiple teams, programs, or organizations.
Experience creating operating mechanisms, driving portfolio-level visibility, and influencing director- and vice president-level stakeholders.
Strong technical fluency across software development lifecycles, systems, services, APIs, data flows, integrations, dependencies, and technical tradeoffs.
Experience improving execution discipline across teams through better governance, intake, prioritization, planning, risk management, or release practices.
Experience working in product-focused software environments, customer-facing platforms, SaaS, consumer technology, marketplaces, or complex software organizations.
Strong executive co
