Technical Program Manager, Mergers and Acquisitions

• Produce a cohesive vision for the technical integration of newly acquired businesses.  Based on feedback and direction from business stakeholders, the TPM will cast a compelling vision that describes the desired journey and outcomes for a new company that’s been acquired by Netflix so that these expectations are clearly understood by the people doing the technical integration work as well as by the people being introduced to the Netflix platform and application ecosystem. 
• Manage the intake of new projects and their prioritization.  The TPM will also provide a central point of contact for business partners to discuss and initiate new M&A projects that will require integration with Netflix technology services.  The TPM will also enable the subsequent rationalization and prioritization.  This would include project backlog management.
• Facilitate resource planning and coordinate project work.  Once a project is scoped and its goals well defined, the TPM will consult cross-functional partners (in and outside of TMS) to determine resources and assess the level of effort required for the project's success. This will include identifying technology leads and facilitating connections between acquired companies & technology leads.
• Mitigate delivery risks.  The TPM will monitor all technology integration work to ensure that roadblocks and interdependencies are resolved to achieve successful delivery.  
• Manage communication with internal and external partners.  Integral to the program's success will be maintaining constant communication and a healthy feedback loop between all partners and collaborators.  The TPM will also provide tailored context and communication to ensure the success of projects and the program at large.
• Templatize technical integration plans. As our teams build experience and capture learnings from M&A projects, the TPM will help develop systems and workflow templates to help standardize future planning and execution for these types of projects.
