[Hiring] Senior Technical Program Manager @Workiva Inc.

Role Description

As a Senior Technical Program Manager on the GRC team, you are the organizational partner to Engineering, Product, and UX leaders building complex, customer-facing software. You are also the connective tissue between technical delivery and the business teams who take it to market: CPX, Solution Consultants, and the go-to-market teams who depend on what your programs produce. Where Product owns what gets built and Engineering owns how it gets built, you own whether the organization has what it needs to deliver. That means creating clarity so others can move faster, enabling decisions so leaders can act with confidence, and removing the friction that keeps good teams from doing their best work. You bring active fluency with AI tools to this work, both in how you operate personally and in how you help GRC think about what AI-augmented execution requires.

What you'll do:

• Continuously assess whether programs are structured to succeed, not just on schedule.
• Ask the questions others are not asking, across any function.
• Drive alignment across Engineering, Product, and UX as conditions change.
• Engage in technical conversations with enough fluency to participate credibly.
• Identify what is blocking forward progress and choose the right lever to remove it.
• Synthesize cross-functional risks and ensure they reach the right owner.
• Name what others are managing around.
• Surface recurring friction patterns and drive improvements.
• Prepare the organization for ownership transitions before responsibility shifts.
• Use AI tools actively as part of how you work.
• Track how AI-augmented development changes delivery patterns on your programs.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of technical program or project management experience within a software engineering environment.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical/STEM field or equivalent professional experience.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience operating across Engineering, Product, and UX in a multi-team software organization.
• Active use of AI tools (such as Claude, Copilot, or LLM-based workflows) as a core part of how you work.
• Ability to engage credibly in technical conversations, including architecture, dependencies, and sequencing risk.
• Comfortable naming structural risk clearly, even when the message is unwelcome.
• Experience facilitating trade-off decisions and briefing at the director and VP level.
• Track record of identifying organizational root causes and driving durable solutions.
• Strong written communication; able to synthesize fragmented information into shared understanding.
• Experience applying and adapting delivery frameworks.
• Understanding of how AI-augmented development changes how engineering teams plan and execute.
• Experience in GRC, compliance, financial reporting, or regulated-industry software.
• Comfortable building structure in ambiguous environments.

Benefits

• Salary range in the US: $111,000.00 - $180,000.00.
• A discretionary bonus typically paid annually.
• Restricted Stock Units granted at time of hire.
• 401(k) match and comprehensive employee benefits package.
