A day in the life

As the Sr. Technical Program Manager for the Shopping Design Tech team, your days are focused on managing the lifecycle of complex cross-functional initiatives that have significant impact on the customer shopping experience.

You start your morning reviewing the latest sprint planning and exception requests with your product and design partners. You dive into technical document reviews, predicting and triaging any defects that could impact the team's projects. Throughout the day, you monitor the health and reliability of your team's systems, designing hands-free auditing mechanisms that maintain operational excellence.

In the afternoon, you shift your focus outward, working across teams and systems owners to influence roadmap priorities, product feature decisions, and engineering processes. You negotiate resources and priorities, unblocking teams and finding paths forward through difficult situations. As a subject matter expert, you communicate progress and strategic decisions to a diverse set of stakeholders.

As the day winds down, you look for opportunities to streamline processes, sketching approaches to simplify and cohere technology strategies. You step into the shoes of a designer, adopting a customer-centric mindset to reflect on how to build programs and processes that help your teams build magical shopping experiences for customer everywhere.
