ABOUT THIS ROLE
Technical Program Managers are Audible’s relay sprinters, taking projects over the finish line like a champion from concept to launch. As a Senior Technical Program Manager within our Support Engineering Program you’ll be driving complex and impactful initiatives that improve the quality, reliability, robustness, and performance of our global systems. We’re obsessed with our customers, so it’s important that you dream big – designing and building features that span across platforms, with no customer left behind.

ABOUT YOU
You thrive at the heart of the action. At work, change is the only constant – and you wouldn’t have it any other way. Transparency and consistency define your communication skills. You see the bigger picture, letting it guide you, from project risks to retrospectives. “Meticulous” doesn’t do justice to your critical eye.

• Collaborate with various areas of the business to manage multiple projects effectively
• Partner closely with stakeholders and product managers to ensure successful software development launches from design to deployment
