Lead high-impact, cross-functional programs across Splunk Cloud Platform and the Security and Observability portfolio, partnering with engineering, product, and security leadership to execute complex, multi-quarter roadmaps and deliver measurable customer outcomes. Architect integration strategies for initiatives like integrating Splunk's data platform with Cisco capabilities and enabling AI-driven security workflows.
Responsibilities
- Lead large, cross-functional programs (often 10+ engineering teams) from early concept and technical requirements through global launch, adoption, and post-launch optimization
- Partner with executive leadership to translate business objectives into clear technical execution plans; ensure tradeoffs align with Splunk’s long-term product vision
- Establish program operating cadence (reviews, exec updates, decision logs, launch readiness) and drive timely, well-documented decisions
- Drive technical deep-dives with architects and engineering leaders to identify systemic bottlenecks across distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and data ingest/processing pipelines
- Proactively identify, track, and mitigate complex technical and organizational risks; lead stakeholders to resolution, not just reporting
- Act as a leader within the TPM community—mentoring Staff/Senior TPMs and raising the bar for execution excellence
- Define milestone acceptance criteria and “Definition of Done” standards that bake in reliability, security, performance, and operability
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, engineering leadership, or software architecture in a SaaS/cloud environment
- Proven track record leading multi-quarter, cross-org programs delivering significant business value (e.g., major platform migrations, large-scale product initiatives)
- Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to executive and non-technical audiences
- Strong influencing skills across multiple levels and functions
- Demonstrated strength in dependency management, risk mitigation, scope/priority tradeoffs, and driving accountability to outcomes
Qualifications
- B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, engineering leadership, or software architecture in a SaaS/cloud environment
Nice to Have
- Experience delivering agentic experiences and supporting the migration from traditional workflows to agent-driven execution models
