The Technical Program Manager (TPM), Mobile Features is responsible for driving execution, delivery, and delivery confidence for mobile feature teams across iOS and Android. This role sits within PTD (Product, Technology, Design) and serves as the program lead for multiple mobile feature teams aligned to a mission or goal area.

This role owns what ships and why on mobile, translating product goals into coordinated, cross‑platform execution. They may work with multiple pods to coordinate dependencies across mobile pods, or with teams outside of the mobile team (e.g. Stellar, PSDK, platforms). It does not own mobile platform infrastructure or long‑term technical strategy.

Act as the primary TPM partner for 2–3 mobile feature teams, spanning:

• iOS and Android feature development
• Cross‑functional collaboration with Product and Design
• Backend and platform dependencies as required

Own planning, sequencing, and delivery of mobile feature work from concept through launch.

Ensure feature parity and consistency across iOS and Android experiences (when required).

• Planning and sequencing checkpoints
• Delivery confidence and risk reviews
• Launch readiness reviews for major features

This role does not:

• Own the mobile platform roadmap or infrastructure
• Run CI/CD, build systems, or release tooling
