As a Staff Technical Program Manager
, you will lead multiyear, cross organization initiatives that shape Play Station’s enterprise IT and information security capabilities. You’ll drive clarity from ambiguity, establish program strategy and governance, orchestrate execution across multiple teams, and ensure operational readiness and measurable outcomes. You are comfortable operating with implicit authority, influencing at the senior leader level, and diving deep into technical tradeoffs with engineers and architects.

You will use modern delivery practices and proven program management techniques (planning, dependency mapping, risk management, metrics) to deliver enterprise scale IT and security programs.

Define program charters, success metrics (OKRs/KPIs), and phased roadmaps that align to IT & security strategy and enterprise standards.

Facilitate architectural and design decisions; drive crisp choices among competing priorities and surface tradeoffs to leadership.

Stand up program governance (cadence, RACI, decision logs) and create durable mechanisms for crossteam alignment and escalation.

Lead end-to-end delivery across the program lifecycle: initiation/chartering, planning, execution, rollout/transition, and benefits realization, ensuring quality, security, privacy, and compliance are built in from the start.

Build integrated schedules; identify and resolve critical path dependencies across service teams (e.g., identity/IAM, security engineering/operations, compliance, networking, endpoint management, data platforms) and partner organizations.

Drive risk/issue management with data-driven mitigations; maintain source-of-truth program plans, backlogs, and roadmaps.

Create clear, concise executive readouts, dashboards, and status narratives tailored to audiences from VP/Director to engineering teams.

Lead cross-program dependency forums; negotiate scope, sequencing, and resourcing to protect program outcomes.

Serve as the primary point of contact for internal customers and external partners; translate business goals into actionable technical plans.

Evolve delivery practices and tooling (e.g., Jira/Confluence, M365, data dashboards) to increase predictability and throughput.

Mentor other TPMs and engineers; contribute to TPM community standards, playbooks, and onboarding.
