Title: Technical Program Manager (Data Platform)

Location: Gurugram, India (Remote/Hybrid)

Salary up to 20LPA

Experience: 9+ Years

Role Type: Full-Time | Urgent Requirement: Immediate Joiners Preferred

Role Overview

We are looking for a high-octane Technical Program Manager to steer our Data Engineering and Platform initiatives. This is a role for an owner, not a reporter. You will be responsible for driving the strategic direction of our Azure-based data ecosystem, managing complex dependencies, and translating technical milestones into executive-ready narratives.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Delivery: Take full accountability for the Data Platform roadmap. Drive direction across engineering teams to ensure high-quality, scalable data solutions.

Executive Presence: Craft high-impact PowerPoint decks and written Narratives. You must be comfortable briefing C-suite executives on progress, budgets, and pivots.

Rigorous Governance: Maintain a bulletproof RAID log. You don't just track risks; you mitigate them before they impact the sprint.

Agile at Scale: Lead ceremonies within a SAFe Agile framework. Manage backlogs, PI planning, and cross-team dependencies using Jira and Azure DevOps.

Data Metrics: Define and monitor platform KPIs (latency, throughput, cost-to-serve). Use stats and metrics to justify technical debt vs. feature delivery.

Required Technical Profile

Cloud/Data Expertise: Deep experience in Azure environments (Data Factory, Synapse, Databricks, or Snowflake).

Tooling: Expert-level mastery of Jira for tracking and PowerPoint for storytelling.

Frameworks: Proven track record in SAFe Agile environments at an enterprise scale.

Governance: Expert in formal project management artifacts, specifically RAID logs and dependency mapping.

Candidate Attributes

The Owner Mindset: You take 100% accountability for outcomes. When a project slips, you provide the solution, not an excuse.
