LAYIQ - Technical Program Manager, Software at General Matter

Own the integrated software roadmap and delivery schedule across major programs. Partner with engineering leads to translate quarterly objectives into scoped deliverables, accountable owners, and measurable milestones aligned with priorities and available capacity.
Identify cross-team dependencies and the critical path across software development, hardware integration, testing, and deployment. Work with technical leads to resolve blockers, challenge sequencing assumptions, and identify opportunities to accelerate delivery.
Surface schedule risks early, assess their impact across programs, and drive mitigation. Escalate issues with clear options, recommendations, and decisions needed before they become missed commitments.
Coordinate software requirements, interfaces, acceptance criteria, and delivery commitments with systems, hardware, controls, licensing, security, and other stakeholders. Make scope changes and their downstream impacts explicit.
Run quarterly planning and regular operating reviews focused on progress, risks, and decisions. Document decisions and their rationale, assign owners and due dates to action items, and drive follow-through to verified completion.
Keep YouTrack aligned with actual engineering work, including priorities, ownership, milestones, dependencies, and status. Maintain a reliable connection between department objectives and team execution, with reporting that makes progress and gaps visible.
