Responsibilities
Lead Platform Programs at Enterprise Scale
- Own end-to-end delivery of a portfolio of strategic programs spanning data infrastructure (lakehouse, streaming, IDX), MarTech platforms (CDP, campaign orchestration, personalization), and AI-powered experimentation
- Drive program strategy, architecture alignment, milestone tracking, risk mitigation, and stakeholder communication from initiation through business outcome realization
- Maintain unwavering focus on outcomes — not just delivery milestones — translating engineering execution into measurable business impact
Operate at VP Level with Executive Authority
- Partner directly with VP and Director-level leaders across DGX to shape investment priorities, resolve organizational dependencies, and hold delivery commitments at scale
- Serve as the connective tissue between engineering, product management, data science, marketing, and business stakeholders — enabling decisions that would otherwise stall in silos
- Drive regular executive readouts, program reviews, and async communication that give senior leadership real-time visibility into portfolio health and emerging risks
Build the DGX Program Operating Model
- Define and continuously evolve the TPM frameworks, program health metrics, operating cadences, and delivery standards for the DGX organization
- Establish portfolio visibility practices — dependency maps, risk registers, milestone dashboards — that enable a high say-do ratio across all DGX programs
- Champion Agile and adaptive delivery methodologies, calibrating process rigor to program complexity without adding unnecessary overhead
Champion AI-Native Program Management
- Bring AI tools and agentic workflows into your program management practice — accelerating planning, risk synthesis, stakeholder communication, and decision support
- Collaborate with engineering leads on AI platform programs (e.g., GenOS, agentic pipelines) as a technically fluent partner who can evaluate architectural trade-offs and drive delivery
- Model what it means to be an AI-first builder: demonstrate and teach how LLMs, automation, and intelligent tooling can make the entire team faster and sharper
Develop the TPM Community
- Coach and mentor program managers across DGX, raising the technical and strategic capabilities of the team
- Define best practices, playbooks, and frameworks that scale the TPM discipline and elevate program management standards across the broader Intuit TPM community
- Act as a trusted advisor to product and engineering leaders — someone who is brought in early on hard problems because of the clarity, rigor, and influence you bring
Qualifications
Experience & Track Record
- 12+ years of Technical Program Management experience in large-scale, matrixed technology organizations
- Demonstrated history of delivering enterprise data platform programs — data warehouses, lakehouses, event streaming pipelines, data mesh architectures, or large-scale API platforms
- Direct experience with MarTech ecosystems — CDPs (e.g., Segment, Salesforce, Adobe), campaign orchestration platforms, personalization engines, A/B experimentation infrastructure, or growth technology
- Proven ability to influence VP- and Director-level stakeholders on strategic investment decisions and organizational priorities
Technical Depth
- Strong conceptual and applied understanding of modern cloud data architectures: data lakehouses (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery), event streaming (Kafka, Flink), data mesh or data fabric patterns, and API design
- Fluent in the MarTech stack: understands how CDPs, DMPs, campaign tools, measurement frameworks, and personalization engines interconnect to create unified customer data activation
- Comfortable leading architectural design reviews, evaluating technical trade-offs, and representing engineering complexity in executive narratives
- Conversant in AI/ML concepts as applied to customer data: feature pipelines, model serving, real-time inference, experimentation, and responsible AI practices
Strategic & Analytical Mindset
- Uses data as a first-class tool for program management: monitors leading and lagging indicators, constructs health dashboards, and makes evidence-based course corrections
- Anticipates risks before they materialize; designs mitigation strategies that address root cause, not just symptoms
- Sees across organizational boundaries — identifies systemic dependencies, cross-team sequencing risks, and alignment gaps that others miss
Communication & Influence
- Exceptional written and verbal communicator; able to distill highly technical and complex program status into clear, executive-ready narrative
- Skilled navigator of ambiguity, competing priorities, and organizational tension — influences outcomes without relying on authority
- Builds trust rapidly across engineering, product, data, design, and business functions through credibility, follow-through, and genuine intellectual curiosity
Education
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline — or equivalent practical experience
- PMP, SAFe, or Agile/Scrum certifications are a plus; demonstrated equivalent mastery is equally valued
