Key responsibilities include managing product documentation, conducting phase gate reviews, collecting user feedback, and communicating project status to stakeholders and senior management. As Technical Program Manager, you will focus on optimizing processes, tools, and organizational structures to drive efficient, predictable, and scalable delivery performance.
