Description
Looking to switch careers into program management at a big tech company? Or perhaps you're looking to start interviewing soon for a program manager role.
Program managers have become ubiquitous at many tech companies and are quickly growing in more conventional industries and verticals as well. They drive progress across organizations, operate cross-functionally with different teams, and pivot on a dime to adapt to quickly changing market conditions and customer-centric needs. They also transcend beyond your typical project manager and come with domain expertise, design, and product sense.
Their responsibilities include:
Running strategic and operational projects and programs
Project/program execution, status reporting, maintenance, and process optimization
Using their extensive interpersonal skills to build consensus among cross-functional teams
Wielding influence to drive decision making
