Technical Program Manager

About the Role

As a Technical Program Manager at Able, you'll drive the execution of AI and software programs across engineering, product, and partner teams. You'll keep work moving — owning timelines, dependencies, and communication for one or more programs — while working closely with senior TPMs and the hiring manager on the harder tradeoff calls. This is a technical role: you should be comfortable following a system design discussion, understanding the dependencies between services and teams, and asking the right questions when an estimate or integration doesn't line up. You don't need to architect the system yourself, but you do need to understand enough of how it's built to keep delivery on track and spot risk early.

You'll thrive here if you're organized, proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and eager to grow your technical depth in a fast-moving, AI-native delivery environment.

What We’re Looking For

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Program Execution

• Drive one or more AI and software delivery programs through planning, execution, and launch.
• Own program schedules, execution plans, and cross-functional alignment to ensure delivery commitments are met.
• Maintain roadmaps, milestones, dependencies, and status; keep plans current as priorities shift.
• Contribute to design and planning discussions — understand the technical scope well enough to track it accurately.

Engineering Coordination & Delivery

• Coordinate work across backend, frontend, ML/AI, and data workstreams, keeping handoffs and interfaces clear.
• Identify and escalate technical blockers, dependencies, and integration gaps before they slip the schedule.
• Track and report program health using sprint progress, milestones, delivery metrics, risks, dependencies, and launch readiness indicators and keep them visible to the team.

Risk & Communication

• Track risks and dependencies; flag issues early and help drive them to resolution with engineering leads.
• Communicate clear, accurate program status to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Keep documentation, action items, and decisions organized and accessible.

Stakeholder Support

• Support partner and stakeholder communication alongside senior TPMs.
• Translate program plans into clear updates and help keep business goals and technical execution aligned.
• Contribute to improving team rituals, documentation, and delivery processes.
• Drive delivery while helping maintain a high technical bar across the team.

Required Skills & Experience

• 3–5 years in Technical Program Management, project coordination, or a related cross-functional role on software teams.
