Senior Technical Program Manager - Knotch

About Knotch

We're a growth-stage technology company helping brands optimize content performance and apply AI to modern marketing. Our culture is fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and highly adaptable—we move quickly, test ideas, and evolve with our customers.

Through the Knotch platform, brands can measure the impact of their content, identify what drives results, and continuously improve performance across channels. By combining performance data, strategic insights, and AI-driven capabilities, we help marketing teams make smarter decisions and get more impact from every piece of content they produce.

About the Role Knotch is at an inflection point. We're running three parallel tracks: our core analytics platform serving enterprise clients, a next generation AI-powered product in active pilots, and a next-generation cloud-native architecture that unifies them. These aren't sequential phases — they're live, simultaneous, and all moving fast.

As a Senior Technical Program Manager , you'll own the execution layer across all three tracks — so engineering leadership can stay focused on architecture and strategy. This isn't a traditional delivery management role. The scope spans day-to-day sprint operations, contractor workstream coordination, platform stability, and a major cloud-native migration program running in parallel.

You'll sit at the center of the engineering org — the connective tissue between architecture decisions and squad-level execution. You'll push back on unrealistic timelines, keep dependencies visible before they become blockers, and own the K1 transition as a formal program. If you want to build structure and watch it directly accelerate a company at a pivotal moment — this is that role. If you've made it this far, please kindly input this code with your application: PROG-MGR-2026.

Responsibilities

• Own release planning and sprint coordination across internal engineering squads and external contractor teams.
• Track cross-team dependencies across a shared engineering pool model — one missed handshake can stall multiple work streams simultaneously.
• Own the current Knotch One platform delivery program — weekly release cadence, maintenance-mode sequencing, and CS-facing incident coordination.
• Manage and Track product and architectural milestones as a formal program: what gets supported, what gets ported, what gets rebuilt, and in what order.
• Bridge the gap between architecture decisions made at the SVP level and what engineering squads are building day-to-day.
• Push back on estimates with technical fluency — not rubber-stamping timelines that don’t hold up.
• Manage contractor coordination channels and workstream intake so external teams stay unblocked without escalating upward.

Qualifications You have 6-10+ years in technical program or delivery management, with meaningful hands-on experience owning multi-track engineering programs in
