About the Position

Technical Program Manager, Product and Engineering

Brussels, Belgium; Prague, Czech Republic

Joining Collibra's Product and Engineering Operations team

Turning ambitious product and engineering priorities into coordinated delivery across a global organization is hard, especially when the work spans teams, systems and competing technical dependencies. This role puts you at the center of that challenge.

As a Technical Program Manager, you’ll be trusted to lead complex programs that shape what Collibra builds and how effectively our engineering organization can deliver it. You’ll work directly with Product and Engineering leaders, connecting work across teams, challenging assumptions and helping drive the decisions that move product & technical priorities forward.

You'll bring experience from a software Engineering or R&D environment and step into a role with broad ownership, high visibility and real influence over how technical work gets delivered.

This is a hybrid role based in our Brussels or Prague office, with at least two days each week in the office.

Responsibilities

• Managing a broad range of business programs that require high levels of functional integration and change management
• Driving project / program from Initiation to delivery ensuring teams are adhering to our SDLC
• Partnering closely with release management and NPI stakeholders on improving our go to market processes where applicable
• Developing, maintaining and regularly reviewing agile and project and/or program delivery metrics to drive continuous improvement
• Delivering clear and concise visibility and communication to senior and executive leadership on portfolio, project and/or program status
• Escalate impediments and risks that are critical to business outcomes as appropriate
• Experience leading teams using Shape Up methodology, or a proven track record of adapting traditional Agile/Scrum frameworks to fixed-time, variable-scope models.
• Strong understanding of Scrum and Kanban mechanics to effectively manage dependencies with external teams.

Requirements

• Experience leading complex technical programs within a software Engineering, R&D or Product Engineering organization
• Experience managing initiatives across multiple engineering teams in a SaaS environment
• The technical fluency to understand software architecture, engineering dependencies and delivery tradeoffs, and to effectively challenge assumptions and estimates
• A strong understanding of software development lifecycles and experience applying project and Agile practices pragmatically
• Proven success leading through influence across engineering, product, go-to-market and senior leadership teams in complex, global organizations
• Experience translating between technical and business requirements and creating clarity across teams with different priorities
• A bachelor's degree or equivalent relevant working experience
