Technical Program Manager

Autodesk · Enterprise · United Kingdom · Remote

This role leads end-to-end technical programs for complex, multi-team software development, focusing on defining charters, managing execution cadence, aligning backlogs, and resolving dependencies. It emphasizes disciplined CI/CD, release practices, observability, quality gates, and risk mitigation (security, compliance, regionalization). The goal is predictable, on-time delivery with high-quality releases and secure, compliant system integrations.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead end-to-end technical programs by defining clear charters (scope, milestones, KPIs) and maintaining strong execution cadence across teams (scrum-of-scrums, integration reviews, planning cycles).
  2. Align and sequence backlogs across services, proactively manage dependencies and RAID items, and drive cross-org blocker resolution.
  3. Ensure disciplined CI/CD and release practices—including branching strategies, feature flags, testing, and rollback readiness—supported by strong observability and quality gates.
  4. Identify and mitigate architectural, security, compliance, and regionalization risks early, coordinating seamless integrations and low-risk cutovers.
  5. Elevate planning rigor through dependency-aware capacity planning and clear tradeoff communication, while maintaining unified execution visibility via dashboards and reporting.

Skills

Required

  • PM roles delivering complex, multi-team software programs
  • platform/service integrations
  • engineering/SRE background or deeply technical TPM experience
  • scaled Scrum/Agile: scrum-of-scrums, DOR/DOD, backlog management, sprint integrity, dependency sequencing, release retrospectives, and process optimization
  • CI/CD (branching, gating, flags, canaries), integration testing, and release orchestration for distributed systems
  • security/compliance/regionalization initiatives (e.g., allow-listing, FedRAMP, data sovereignty) and cross-team anti-pattern remediation
  • RAID/dependency leadership across boundaries
  • partnering with EMs, architects, PMs, and XD teams
  • Jira/Confluence, CI/CD/observability tools
  • metrics (throughput, predictability, defects, lead times, pass rates)
  • technical communication: tradeoff-oriented for engineers, concise for executives

Nice to have

  • AEC visualization integrations (ACC; Forma; etc.)
  • Managing shared multi-contributor packages, versioning, publishing, consumption timelines
  • Scaled regionalization (environment parity, legacy remediation, authentication/allow-lists)
  • Aligning programs to cloud efficiency targets with backlog adjustments for timely outcomes

What the JD emphasized

  • 8–12+ years in PM roles delivering complex, multi-team software programs
  • Expert in scaled Scrum/Agile
  • Proven hands-on with CI/CD
  • Track record in security/compliance/regionalization initiatives
  • Strong technical communication

Identify and mitigate architectural, security, compliance, and regionalization risks early, coordinating seamless integrations and low-risk cutovers. Elevate planning rigor through dependency-aware capacity planning and clear tradeoff communication, while maintaining unified execution visibility via dashboards and reporting. Establish lightweight operational standards that improve efficiency, enforce delivery discipline, and align with cloud cost goals.

Success is measured by predictable, on-time delivery with reduced integration risk, sustained team discipline, high-quality releases with minimal regressions, and secure, compliant, and scalable system integrations.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8–12+ years in PM roles delivering complex, multi-team software programs, including platform/service integrations; strong preference for engineering/SRE background or deeply technical TPM experience
  • Expert in scaled Scrum/Agile: scrum-of-scrums, DOR/DOD, backlog management, sprint integrity, dependency sequencing, release retrospectives, and process optimization
  • Proven hands-on with CI/CD (branching, gating, flags, canaries), integration testing, and release orchestration for distributed systems

  • Aligning programs to cloud efficiency targets with backlog adjustments for timely outcomes

Core Competencies

  • Systems thinking: Links team plans to architecture; anticipates anti-patterns and integrates fixes
  • Agile enforcer: Upholds DOR/DOD and sprint goals; ensures high-signal ceremonies and swift blocker resolution
  • Integration-centric: Prioritizes testable interfaces and readiness over dates. Composed decision-maker: Escalates with data/options; fosters psychological safety amid urgency
