Role Summary
Cooperdyne Tech is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead complex, cross-team technical programs and ensure delivery stays aligned to business outcomes. In this client-facing role, you will connect strategy to execution, make dependencies and risks visible, and drive consistent delivery practices across multiple workstreams. You are hands-on in Azure DevOps every day—using it to create clarity, improve program hygiene, and keep teams moving from planning through release.
Key Responsibilities
Own end-to-end program planning, execution, and status reporting across multiple delivery teams and workstreams
Define and maintain program roadmaps, milestones, and dependency maps in Azure DevOps and Portfolio++
Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, and capacity planning to ensure realistic commitments and predictable delivery
Identify, communicate, and drive resolution of risks, blockers, and cross-team dependencies early
Partner closely with product owners, engineering leads, and executive stakeholders to align priorities and delivery plans
Establish and scale PMO practices for clients, including delivery ceremonies, work item standards, and clear Definitions of Done
Create and maintain executive-facing dashboards, program readouts, and concise status narratives that highlight outcomes and tradeoffs
Coach delivery teams on Agile practices, Azure DevOps usage, and program hygiene to improve consistency and transparency
Required Qualifications
US Citizen or Green Card holder (required)
5–7+ years of technical program management experience in a US-based environment (required)
Proven track record managing enterprise-scale programs across multiple teams with complex dependencies
Deep, hands-on experience with Azure DevOps (Boards, roadmaps, iteration planning, and reporting) used as a primary delivery system
Strong grasp of Agile frameworks and scaled delivery models; ability to run effective ceremonies and drive continuous improvement
Experience building or optimizing PMO functions, standards, and governance from the ground up
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with executive presence; able to translate delivery details into clear decisions
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and navigate organizational complexity
Preferred Qualifications
PMP, CSM, SAFe, or equivalent certification
Experience with Portfolio++ for roadmap, dependency, and capacity planning
Background in healthcare, fintech, or enterprise software environments
Experience leading programs in organizations with 20+ development teams
What Success Looks Like
Programs have clear roadmaps, milestones, and dependency visibility, with Azure DevOps serving as the source of truth
Delivery teams make reliable commitments supported by capacity planning and well-managed backlogs
Risks and blockers are surfaced early, owned, and resolved with minimal disruption to delivery
Executive stakeholders receive consistent, decision-ready status reporting that reflects outcomes, tradeoffs, and next steps
PMO practices and delivery standards are adopted across teams, improving predictability, transparency, and program hygiene
