Key job responsibilities
As a Principal Technical Program Manager, you will independently lead broad cross-organization efforts from the early stages through release.

You will manage cross-functional and cross-organization communication to ensure all stakeholders are informed, and needs are aligned.

A day in the life
You will focus on identifying opportunities to scale and automate working with multiple identity teams across the globe.

They will work with business and product stakeholders, software, QA, training, and operations teams to drive changes to optimize complex systems designed for traditional authentication and authorization. The optimal candidate can articulate when a new service, integration or interface is needed (and when it is not). They write high level technical and functional documentation to clearly articulate implementation plans.
