Technical Program Manager, Enterprise Architecture

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own the execution framework for Enterprise Architecture initiatives, translating ambiguous work into clear scope, plans, milestones, owners, dependencies, risks, and measurable outcomes.
• Support both cross-system architects and single-system specialists with planning, tracking, and communication tailored to how they work.
• Coordinate product managers, developers, business analysts, subject matter experts, and functional partners whose contributions are required to deliver architecture initiatives.
• Maintain a reliable, current view of the team’s portfolio in a single system of record, prioritizing work against business need and ensuring commitments remain visible.
• Identify project risks and cross-system dependencies early, drive issues to resolution, and escalate decisions with clear context and recommended paths forward.
• Translate technical activity into concise business-facing reporting that communicates delivery health, measurable impact, and prioritization trade-offs to leadership and stakeholders.
• Establish and run lightweight operating cadences for planning, status, risk review, decision-making, and launch readiness without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Facilitate documentation and knowledge transfer so architecture decisions, dependencies, assumptions, and best practices remain accessible and durable.

Job requirements

• 7+ years of experience in technical project management, technical program management, systems delivery, or a closely related role, preferably supporting architecture or adjacent teams.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional technical projects with responsibility for scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, stakeholder alignment, and outcomes.
• Broad technical fluency across enterprise systems such as PLM, ERP, MES, and WMS, with the ability to hold credible conversations about architecture, integrations, data flows, and delivery trade-offs.
• Proven ability to create structure and accountability in fast-moving, ambiguous environments while using lightweight practices that preserve team speed.
• Strong problem-solving and systems-thinking capabilities, with the ability to develop fact-based recommendations using methods such as root-cause analysis and decision trees.
• Strong reporting instincts and excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate technical work for business, technical, and executive audiences.
• Proficiency with project management tools and methodologies, including portfolio visibility, dependency tracking, risk management, and status reporting.
• Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, Business, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
