About the Role
Like a conductor of a 100-piece orchestra, as our Technical Program Manager (TPM) tasked with making our engineering teams more effective by identifying and executing on opportunities to organize shared engineering systems and initiatives, to bring about useful standards, to foster the creation of learning materials, training opportunities and so on.
Working with the Gojek Developer Platform, you’ll be responsible for organizing and driving our efforts in this space. This is a leadership role that requires you to have a solid foundation of both technical and collaborative skills that can be used to effectively influence a large, diverse and talented engineering organization.
What You Will Do
- Manage the execution of multiple high complexities, technically-oriented projects in parallel
- Build healthy project teams that are productive, efficient, and fun to be part of
- Develop roadmaps that capture both short term milestones and the long term direction for each project
- Proactively address issues and communicate status for your team and your partners to bring projects in on time and within budget
- Identify and predict risks to projects across multiple teams and develop mitigation and contingency plans to address them
- Incorporate metrics into all stages and communications of projects to remove subjectivity and ensure data-driven decision-making
- Identify opportunities to help Gojek build a technology platform that is both a cutting edge competitive advantage and incredibly cost-efficient
