Job Title: Technical Program Manager

Reports to: Senior Technical Program Manager

About Recast:

Recast Software empowers organizations to better manage, secure, and support users and devices at scale. Our products integrate deeply with enterprise IT environments to help customers remediate issues, maintain compliance, and operate with confidence. We serve thousands of enterprise customers globally and continue to grow our cloud and platform capabilities.

About the Role:

• This Program Manager role is designed as a high impact execution role with a clear growth path. The primary mission is to improve delivery visibility, release discipline, and execution rigor across Engineering and Product.
• You will be mentored and will operate initially with clearly defined goals, milestones, and success criteria set outside the role. Over time, as you build context and credibility, your scope and ownership will expand.
• This is also not a passive status tracking role. You will actively drive clarity, surface risks, and help the organization move from making decisions in the dark to operating with shared facts and predictable execution.

What This Role Is and Is Not:

This role is:

• Execution Focused and outcome driven
• Centered on release management, metrics, and delivery visibility
• A force multiplier for Engineering and Product leadership
• A growth role with mentorship and increasing responsibility

This role is not:

• A people management role
• A strategy defining role
• A passive reporting or PMO function

Initial Focus Areas (First 612 Months):

Release Management & Governance (Top Priority):

• Support and mature release readiness criteria and go / no go decision frameworks
• Coordinate cross team release execution across Engineering, Product, DevOps, Security, and Support
• Improve release predictability, communication, and confidence
• Support change management and release communication for enterprise customers

Metrics & Execution Excellence (Top Priority):

• Establish clear milestone tracking and delivery reporting
• Build and maintain dashboards for leadership visibility
• Leverage engineering analytics (e.g., Azure DevOps, DORA metrics, LinearB)
• Surface risks, dependencies, and delivery bottlenecks early
• Help leadership make informed trade off decisions using shared data

What Youll Do:

Program Execution & Delivery:

• Support end to end delivery of defined programs from planning through release and post launch review
• Track milestones, dependencies, and execution progress against externally defined goals
• Proactively identify risks, delays, and cross team friction
• Ensure Engineering and Product remain aligned on scope, feasibility, and delivery expectations
• Drive execution clarity across multiple teams without formal authority

Release Management & Visibility:

• Partner with Engineering leaders to strengthen release discipline
• Ensure release readiness criteria are consistently applied
• Improve transparency across roadmap commitments, sprint outcomes, and shipped value

Cloud & Architecture Coordination (Supporting Scope):

• Support execution tracking for cloud and platform initiatives (e.g., Recast Cloud)
• Help document and track architectural decisions and dependencies
• Coordinate execution across infrastructure, product, and security teams

Communication & Stakeholder Support:

• Prepare concise execution updates and program reviews for leadership
• Facilitate cross functional alignment forums as needed
• Act as connective tissue between Engineering, Product, DevOps, and GTM

How Youll Be Measured:

• Improved visibility into delivery status, risks, and dependencies
• Increased predictability of releases and milestone delivery
• Adoption of consistent release readiness and execution practices
• Leadership confidence in execution data and decision-making inputs
• Demonstrated growth in scope, ownership, and program complexity over time

What Were Looking For:

Experience:

• 37+ years in Technical Program Management, or similar execution focused roles
• Experience working closely with Engineering teams in a SaaS or enterprise software environment
• Exposure to cross functional initiatives involving Product, DevOps, and Support
• Experience supporting release management or delivery coordination

Technical Fluency:

You do not need to code daily, but you should understand:

• Software development lifecycle (SDLC)
• CI/CD and DevOps concepts
• Release and versioning strategies
• Cloud architecture fundamentals
• Basic observability and incident management concepts

Working Style & Traits:

• Structured and detail oriented
• Comfortable operating with defined goals and learning into broader ownership
• Bias toward clarity, follow through, and accountability
• Calm and effective in ambiguous or fast-moving situations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Azure DevOps
• Familiarity with delivery metrics tools (LinearB, SquaredUp, etc.)
• Exposure to incident management or operational processes
• Background in enterprise IT, endpoint management, or platform teams

Why Join Recast:

• At Recast, youll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while learning from experienced leaders. This role offers hands on mentorship, real ownership, and a clear path for growth, while helping the organization strengthen how it plans, delivers, and releases software at scale.
• We value ownership, curiosity, collaboration, adaptability, and empathy and we invest in people who want to grow alongside the company.
