Technical Program Management Lead
RetoolSan FranciscoSenior5+ years
Apply WHAT YOU'LL DO:
As a Technical Program Manager at Retool, you'll be the connective tissue across our engineering, product, and design organizations - keeping complex, multi-team programs on track and ensuring we ship the right things at the right time. You'll own end-to-end delivery of our most critical cross-functional initiatives, from scoping and planning through launch and retrospective.
This role sits at the intersection of execution and communication. You'll work across product, engineering, design, and go-to-market teams to drive alignment, surface risks early, and remove blockers before they slow us down. You’re a force multiplier for the teams you support.
WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH:
You'll partner closely with engineering leads, product managers, and senior leadership across the company. You'll run programs that span multiple teams and functions, from platform infrastructure to customer-facing product launches. You'll also work with our operations and GTM teams to coordinate internal readiness for major releases.
We're a lean, high-velocity team, and TPMs here own more than just schedules - they shape how programs get structured, influence technical decisions, and help the org learn how to work better over time.
IN THIS ROLE, YOU'LL:
- Own end-to-end program management for large, cross-functional EPD initiatives—from kickoff through retrospective
- Define program structure, milestones, and success metrics in partnership with engineering leads and product managers
- Track dependencies, surface risks proactively, and drive resolution before they become blockers
- Run planning and coordination ceremonies (kickoffs, weekly syncs, milestone reviews) that are actually useful—not just status updates
- Build transparency across teams through clear, consistent communication on program health, decisions, and tradeoffs
- Partner with EPD leadership to improve how we plan, prioritize, and execute across the org
- Support hiring and onboarding readiness for EPD teams as we scale
THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING:
- 5+ years of technical program management or related experience (engineering, product operations, or similar)
- Demonstrated ability to manage complex, cross-functional programs in a fast-moving environment
- Strong technical intuition - you can hold your own in technical conversations, understand architectural tradeoffs, and know when to ask the right questions
- Excellent written and verbal communication; you can tailor your message to engineers, executives, and everyone in between
- High ownership mentality: you treat the programs you run as your own and do whatever it takes to make them succeed
- Experience with agile delivery, program planning, and tooling like Linear, or similar
