Sample interview questionsHow have you managed a programme that involved multiple technical teams with competing priorities?I establish shared objectives, a dependency map, decision owners, and a regular operating cadence. I use these mechanisms to surface trade-offs early, make priorities visible, and escalate decisions with clear options and impact assessments.

Describe how you identify and mitigate programme risks.

I maintain an active risk register that captures likelihood, impact, ownership, mitigation actions, and review dates. I review it with delivery leads regularly, distinguish risks from active issues, and escalate material risks before they affect milestones or customer outcomes.

How do you communicate programme status to executives and engineering teams?

I tailor the level of detail to the audience while keeping the underlying facts consistent. Executives receive concise progress, decisions, risks, and requested actions, while delivery teams receive actionable milestone, dependency, and issue detail.

What is your approach to managing technical dependencies involving API platforms?

I work with technical owners to clarify interface assumptions, integration milestones, ownership boundaries, readiness criteria, and failure scenarios. I then track those dependencies explicitly and ensure testing, rollout, and contingency plans are reflected in the programme plan.

Tell us about a time you improved a programme-management process.

In a prior programme, I standardized planning templates, milestone definitions, and status reporting across teams. This reduced ambiguity, made risks visible earlier, and gave leadership a more reliable view of delivery health without adding unnecessary administrative overhead.

By orchestrating the work agents do best, automating manual tasks and uncovering insights at scale, we create the space for people to focus on what truly matters: judgment, creativity, and big thinking. That is magic at work, and it’s what we show up for every day.

We’re looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager I to join our expanding Product and Innovation team. This position will manage programmes that span the entire Product, Engineering, and UX organisations. Interactions with and presentations to engineering teams, engineering leaders, product leaders, executives, and third-party vendors will be common. We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager who can bridge communication between technical teams and product-focused groups and leaders.

You will work remotely from Bulgaria and will be reporting to the Director, Technical Program and Operations.

You Will:

* Coordinate, monitor, and report on programme status across enterprise initiatives and external partner engagements, ensuring accurate and timely information reaches all relevant stakeholders.
* Lead project planning and provide structured support to engineering teams, developing schedules, adhering to milestones, and keeping team members aligned and on track across multiple concurrent workstreams.
* Design and implement scalable processes that support the organisation’s rapid growth, applying strong planning and organisational skills to manage complexity across Product, Engineering, and UX.
* Recognise and prioritise issues as they arise, collaborating with cross-functional partners to drive timely and effective resolution.
* Identify risk factors across programmes, then develop and execute mitigation plans with independent judgement and clear analytical thinking.
* Drive regular status updates across stakeholder groups, including senior leadership and executives, to ensure transparency and maximise efficiency.
* Facilitate open communication among teams with differing working styles and personalities, demonstrating strong interpersonal and communication skills to maintain alignment and psychological safety within collaborative settings.
* Handle programme-related documentation, reporting outputs, and data with care, maintaining confidentiality and accuracy in all information management activities.
* Manage day-to-day use of programme and project management tools, software platforms, and internal systems, ensuring these are applied effectively to support delivery.
* Perform other duties as assigned, approaching additional responsibilities with resilience and a solutions-oriented mindset.

You Have:

* 4+ years of experience in Project Management, Programme Management, Change Management, or demonstrated experience leading large organisation-wide programmes, with deep knowledge of programme delivery methodologies and best practices.
* Experience managing cross-departmental processes, with the ability to work across diverse teams and align multiple stakeholders toward shared goals.
* Experience with API platforms, demonstrating technical literacy sufficient to engage credibly with engineering teams and evaluate technical dependencies and risks.
* A proven track record of leading successful projects from initiation through to completion, applying strong planning, prioritisation, and organisational skills throughout.
* The ability to empathise with employee and customer challenges, with a consistent focus on user experience and human-centred outcomes.
* Critical problem-solving skills to navigate complex, ambiguous issues, manage partner relationships, and exercise sound independent judgement — all while contributing positively as a collaborative team member.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to present clearly to technical and non-technical audiences including executives and third-party vendors.
* Experience operating in a high-growth company environment, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability needed to sustain performance under pressure and amid evolving priorities.
* Comfort with sustained concentration and cognitive complexity, managing multiple high-stakes programme threads simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail and quality.
* Familiarity with budget awareness within programme contexts; this role does not carry direct financial responsibility but requires understanding of resource implications and organisational priorities.
* Proficiency in standard computer and keyboard use in a remote work environment, with comfort in extended screen-based work as standard for this sedentary role.
* A business-related degree or equivalent professional experience.
* Legal eligibility to work in Bulgaria on an ongoing basis.
* Fluency in English is required.
