Technical Program Manager

 💪🏽 What will you do?

As the first Technical Program Manager at Cocoon, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we plan, align, and deliver cross-functional initiatives. You’ll partner with engineering, product, design, and GTM teams to bring clarity, focus, and execution excellence to some of our most important partnership initiatives. In this role you will: 

• Lead highly cross-functional programs, using strong TPM craft and collaboration skills to deliver complex initiatives
• Drive project alignment by managing dependencies, guiding technical discussions, and making sure the right conversations happen at the right time
• Anticipate risks and blockers, escalate when needed, and keep momentum toward resolution
• Influence outcomes by building trusted, strong partnerships across the organization
• Champion effective ways of working including finding the right balance of tools, structure & practices while continuously improving how we collaborate and deliver on our commitments

 ⚡️ You'd be a great fit if:

• You've managed technical programs and are comfortable getting into the details of a technical product. 
• You've helped technical stakeholders understand project timelines, trade-offs, and confidently navigate the complexity of partnership programs in a fast-evolving space.
• You've started something before: a process, a team initiative, a side project; anything that shows you're a builder at heart.
• You're naturally curious and intrinsically motivated. You like figuring things out, and you like helping others do the same. You learn fast and move fast.
• You take feedback well, act on it quickly, and want to be part of building something from the ground up. We are a high confidence, low ego team.
• You have strong communication skills: clear writing, calm presence on calls, and an ability to explain complex things simply.
• You have experience managing projects with multiple stakeholders and technical dependencies.

Nice to Have

• Comfortable managing multiple projects in parallel, even better if you've already built your own project tracking systems.
• Technical background
