Description

Join us in the forefront of innovation in SecOps. We are a company filled with people who are passionate about our product and seek to deliver the best experience for our customers. At Splunk, we’re committed to our work, customers, having fun and most importantly to each other’s success.

We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager, who will be responsible for leading large-scale, complex programs from start to end within our Security Products organization. You will work cross-functionally with a broad set of technical and business partners to drive programs that will further Splunk’s long range goals. We want a TPM who can thrive with a nebulous problem set, distill complex problems into concrete work, and guide multiple teams with their strong, critical thinking skills.

What you'll get to do:

• Leading technical programs in the Products & Technology organization, with an understanding of the company priorities to drive strategic outcomes, including New Product Introduction (NPI) and Go To Market (GTM) processes
• Breaking down initiatives into coherent work-streams; defining program timelines and ensuring accountability of program goals; operating as the single source of truth in execution of complex programs
• Proactively anticipating risks, partnering with program stakeholders to develop mitigation plans, and driving them to resolution
• Aligning with organizational leadership and key stakeholders as a program lead
• Understanding system interdependencies and facilitating technical discussions; communicating solutions and decisions with both technical and non-technical audiences
• Creating and maintaining detailed and easy-to-digest program documentation, managing dependencies, and tracking status across multiple teams and work-streams

Must-have Qualifications:

• 10+ years experience in software program management or closely related roles
• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in a technical field or equivalent experience
• Experience with enterprise software and cloud technologies, along with a deep understanding of the software development lifecycle
• Experience driving large, cross-functional programs that have broad organizational impact
• Demonstrated ability of juggling multiple, concurrent programs and prioritizing tasks based on criticality
• Communication and risk management are your forte. You can communicate effectively with stakeholders of all levels and develop plans to act upon risks appropriately
• Great decision making, consensus building, and problem solving; you don't shy away from challenges
• Experience influencing and affecting change at many levels of the organization without having positional authority.
• Strong technical proficiency required to understand engineering tasks and identify and resolve issues as they arise
