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 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.

As a Director of Technical Program Management, you will be joining the TPM leadership team at Twitter and leading a capable and growing team of TPMs. You'll be leading and supporting some of Twitter's most mission-critical programs in Machine Learning, Data Science and Data Platform. You and your team will partner closely with leaders across the company to plan, resource, and drive execution of top company priorities with a focus on speed, consistency, and predictability. 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.

Who We Are

Twitter continues to serve as one of the most important communication tools in the world. As the central TPM function, we are tasked with delivering large, ambiguous initiatives that directly advance our mission. We build realistic execution plans, identify and mitigate risks, coordinate across engineering teams and supporting functions, communicate with clarity, and ultimately deliver predictable results.

What You'll Do

• Partner with cross-functional leaders to proactively understand their needs and opportunities for your team, and define the team's vision and strategy

• Develop a transparent and efficient resourcing plan that aligns your team to a large portfolio of programs

• Help scale your team's impact by setting good goals, up-leveling individual skills, using existing skills well, and favoring automation over manual work

• Hire, develop, retain and grow strong leaders at all levels in your organization

• Instill a culture of compassion and high performance that continues to build on the TPM brand and reflects our core values

• Lead your team with empathy through execution, by skillfully motivating, energizing, empowering, supporting, unblocking, sheltering, and advocating for them

• Partner with your peers leading other TPM teams to strengthen the craft: create standard methodologies for delivery and focus on continuous improvement across the function

• 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
