About the role:

We are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager who will be critical in leveling up our software delivery process. This role will have two responsibilities: 1) engage in high impact and cross-team cutting projects & initiatives and 2) help us better track and enhance how we deliver software as an Engineering, Product, & Design (EPD) org.

This role is instrumental to the success of the EPD org and will be a critical stakeholder in our technical execution delivery.

In this role, you can expect to:

• Own our engineering execution tracking tools (Jira, Linearb, and Productboard) to maintain a clear view of engineering execution that can be shared across the department and company.
• Drive high-priority, cross-functional & cross-team initiatives to ensure successful delivery and business impact.
• Develop and implement technical programs and processes designed to enhance the productivity and leverage of the EPD organization.

You are a good fit if you:

• Have 6+ years of collective experience as a TPM or as a Software Engineer
• Were previously a software engineer or have a strong technical foundation (i.e. understand the SDLC, can assess technical risks, etc.).
• Have the ability to drive change across teams through influence, rather than authority.
• Have a bias towards action.
• Have experience in a remote-first and/or writing-heavy environment.

You may not be a good fit if you:

• Do not possess a strong technical foundation, or you’re not willing to actively learn and understand new technical concepts and processes.
• Are not interested in technical operations, program management, and change management as these are core aspects of the role.

Who we are

At dbt Labs, we have developed strong opinions on how companies should practice analytics.

Specifically, we believe that:

• Code, not graphical user interfaces, is the best abstraction to express complex analytic logic
• Data analysts should adopt similar practices and tools to software developers
• Critical analytics infrastructure should be controlled by its users as open source software
• Analytic code itself — not just analytics tools — will increasingly be open source

It turns out that a lot of other people believe this too! Today, there are 20,000 companies using dbt every week, 65,000 practitioners in the dbt Community Slack, and 3,500 companies paying for dbt Cloud. Our customers include JetBlue, Hubspot, Vodafone New Zealand, and Dunelm. dbt is synonymous with the practice of analytics engineering, defining an entire industry. We’re backed by top investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter. We recently raised our series D: read the announcement here!
