About the role

They coordinate Technical Program Managers and Forward Deployed Engineers across the account, ensuring each workstream is staffed from the pools, technically sound, and aligned with the broader customer objective.
This role is equivalent in seniority to a TPM Manager, but with a stronger emphasis on customer ownership, deployment success, and margin.
It is a senior destination on the TPM track and a pathway toward a General Manager role.

Own the economics of your deployments: instrument margin live, manage the cost-to-revenue picture across the account's projects, and make the in-flight calls (comp structure, staffing, project structure) that protect it, the level where TPMs escalate margin-structure decisions.
Develop a detailed understanding of each customer's technical requirements: system constraints, integrations, data flows, workflows, and acceptance criteria.
Work closely with FDEs, TPMs, and FDRs to validate implementation plans, manage dependencies, and ensure technical decisions support the customer's goals and the deployment's economics.
Coordinate TPMs and FDEs across multiple concurrent projects, maintaining a clear view of progress, staffing, risk, margin, and cross-project dependencies - and ensure projects are staffed from the pools and the data-trainer workforce is sized and productive via TPMs and Pod Leads.
Partner with FDEs, FDRs, the Talent/Crowd team, the GM, and platform teams to unblock execution.
Establish the operating cadence, dashboards, and escalation paths that create visibility and accountability - and improve deployment playbooks as the organization scales.
Innovation at Speed: We celebrate those who take ownership, move fast, and deliver impact.
We empower people to drive results through clear ownership and metrics.

Strong technical fluency and the ability to quickly understand complex systems, workflows, and implementation requirements.
Ability to communicate credibly with technical customer stakeholders while translating technical detail into clear decisions for non-technical audiences.
A track record of partnering effectively with engineers, program managers, and cross-functional operators.
Excellent judgment: you can distinguish technical issues from execution issues from customer-management issues, and find the right path to resolution.
A strong track record of delivering against ambitious timelines while holding a high bar for quality.
Comfort operating in ambiguous environments where requirements evolve and processes are still being built.

Background in consulting, banking, private equity/VC, or an operating role where you owned a P&L or a hard number.
Experience deploying technical products, services, or data-intensive programs.
Experience working directly with forward-deployed engineers, solutions engineers, or implementation teams.
Experience managing strategic accounts with multiple parallel workstreams.
