Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Found and operationalize a new data-platform program team: establish its charter, governance, delivery cadence, stage gates, and program structure.
- Lead end-to-end, cross-functional platform programs; manage dependencies, capacity, priorities, milestones, and engineering resource allocation across workstreams.
- Partner with engineering and leadership on delivery and architectural decisions; represent progress and risks in executive reviews, and implement AI-assisted program workflows where useful.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: Formal minimum is a bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, engineering, or a related area plus 6 years in a relevant field, or 8 years of relevant experience without that degree. The role description also states 15+ years of overall technical experience, including 10+ years in TPM leadership; this is a substantially higher stated experience bar.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science/engineering or equivalent is specified in the role description; formal minimum qualifications also accept IT or a related area, or the alternative experience route above.
- Material technical experience includes large software/platform programs and grounding in architecture, services/APIs, and data-platform concepts such as pipelines, lakehouses, and governance; the role also calls for practical GenAI program-management use and working knowledge of AI/ML delivery and MLOps.
- Daily office-based work is stated for Bangalore/Chennai; the listed primary location is Bengaluru.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has built program operations from zero—setting governance, planning cadence, capacity processes, and delivery controls rather than inheriting an established playbook.
- Has senior TPM leadership experience across a large platform portfolio, with the technical fluency to partner on architecture and data-platform work that enables AI use cases.
- Can turn complex, multi-workstream delivery into clear executive reporting, and has applied GenAI or meeting-intelligence tools to improve program artifacts and follow-through.
