Twitter is what’s happening and what people are talking about right now. For us, life's not about a job; it’s about purpose. We believe real change starts with a conversation. Here, your voice matters. Come as you are, and together, we'll do what's right (not what's easy) to serve the public conversation.

The Opportunity

As a Sr. Manager of Technical Program Management, you will be joining the TPM leadership team at Twitter and leading a capable and growing team of TPMs supporting some of Twitter’s most mission-critical programs.

This role is deeply cross-functional, and building positive relationships across Product, Engineering, Design, Research, Data Science, Legal, Policy, and other functions will be essential to the success of this leader.

• Navigate social dynamics gracefully, and establish yourself and the team as a neutral entity that shines daylight on program areas that need attention

• Focus on personal and team development by constantly soliciting, giving, and incorporating constructive feedback
