We are seeking a seasoned Staff Technical Program Manager to lead our Data API and Safety teams in delivering impactful solutions across Reddit. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to drive critical initiatives that ensure the safety and integrity of our platform while optimizing the experiences of our vast user base and communities.
If you’re passionate about making a tangible difference in a dynamic, innovative environment, excel in driving Data API-related programs as a product, and are driven to tackle complex safety challenges to protect and enhance our platform, we want to hear from you!
Who we are:
The Technical Program Management Office (Tech PMO) exists to accelerate, scale, and empower all teams at Reddit to do their best work and advance our company’s mission. We operate from within the office of the CTO, maximizing our ability to galvanize and drive technical programs and solutions to solve company-wide problems. Our reach extends across the entire company, driving key strategic focus areas for the business.
What you’ll do:
You will help plan and execute initiatives with a deep understanding of the processes, policies, and trade-offs necessary to meet our technical, business, and operational goals. Navigating varying opinions, priorities, and staffing constraints, you will collaborate with leaders and TPMs across the company to build and refine processes that streamline execution and ensure alignment with our long-term strategy.
As with any impactful role, your job will be to continually refine and improve our processes, ensuring that each step forward aligns with our strategic goals. You’ll balance risk while coordinating across diverse teams, navigating varying priorities, and managing dependencies. With long-term programs featuring multiple milestones, your ability to scope, schedule, and coordinate efforts across multiple cross functional partners will be key to our collective success.
High quality technical program management is a distinct and high value skillset, and while the roles generally don’t involve direct management, they are a part of the organizational leadership. In this role, you will…
Get Things Done. More than just displaying activity, counting sprint points, or delivering regular updates. You actually bring programs to completion and deliver real accomplishments for the business, and help your teams understand the difference.
Dive into Details. You understand the details of their programs and help guide them with and in active partnership with their teams. You don’t just stay in the stratosphere or in an abstract process. You have the technical judgment to act as a partner with your teams in planning and decision making.
Make Work Repeatable. You create and improve processes that smooth the path for others and prevent and remove recurring organizational toil (and the lower quality bar that often allows). You reuse processes developed elsewhere, and aid in adoption of standards where relevant.
Mentor & Lead. You are good at, and enjoy, informally aiding others in developing key organizational and program skills. You’re a leader within the Program Management org, your programs, and support people in the process.
Bring Order out of Chaos. You are known for leaving a program and the teams you support in a position of stronger organization than where they started, and those teams continue to succeed even when you are no longer specifically engaged in the program.
Who you are:
8+ years of collective experience in engineering and program management roles
Proven expertise and ability to drive Data as a Product programs
Experience in designing and executing safety protocols across platforms, including identifying potential risks and developing mitigation strategies
Strong communication and influencing skills
A team player mentality with the ability to work collaboratively across all levels of the organization
Proactive and curious by nature. You are creative and enjoy taking unique approaches to solve problems
Pragmatic; you take an iterative approach to developing processes and systems
Technical depth and judgment
Benefits:
Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits
401k Matching
Workspace benefits for your home office
Personal & Professional development funds
Family Planning Support
Flexible Vacation (please use them!) & Reddit Global Wellness Days
4+ months paid Parental Leave
Paid Volunteer time off
