Opportunity
We are looking for a passionate and talented Principal Technical Program Manager who loves to work across (a) product management, (b) project management, and (c) software development! We’re looking for someone who innovates, loves solving hard problems, and never takes no for an answer. Our engineers are some of the best in the industry, who work hard, have fun and make history.

As a Principal TPM, you will be defining the product vision and roadmap for consumer privacy across ASCS. You will take on interesting challenges everyday.

You will also take the roadmap forward into incremental implementation phases, bring teams across organizations together, anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, make trade-offs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. You will need to be comfortable pushing back and challenging the status-quo.
