About the Role

We’re hiring the first Technical Program Manager to join a newly formed Technical Program Management function, reporting to the Head of TPM. This is a founding role, you’ll help design and build how strategic, cross-functional work gets delivered across a global organization. TPMs at Supabase own the connective tissue between teams and between functions, managing the dependencies of our largest programs, and author and maintain/improve the standard of using Linear. This role is a strong fit for someone who has a genuine curiosity about ambiguous, complex problems, is self-directed and has conviction in their craft.

What You'll Be Responsible for
  • Parter with Engineering, Product, Design (EPD) and other stakeholder to structure and drive complex, cross-team initiatives; clarifying scope and value, securing commitment across a distributed organization, setting timelines, and leading activities from design through launch.

  • Design systems by building the tracking, reporting, and escalation mechanisms that surface risk and progress.

  • Build process to ensure launch readiness is predictable, consistent and coordinated across all cross-functional participants.

  • Ask the questions that clarify priority and scope, giving async teams the context to keep building and unblocking.

  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders and maintain transparency into program goals, commitments, risk and delivery quality, primarily through clear written communication.

  • Identify bottlenecks before they become blockers, develop options to resolve them, and clearly communicate the trade-offs that each option carries.

  • Map dependencies and relationships across projects and teams, coordinating delivery across groups that don’t share reporting lines.

  • Keep Engineering, Product, and Design accountable for their own delivery outcomes while you track, surface risk, and unblock.

  • Develop technical and domain fluency to be an active and credible member of the delivery team and triad.

You Might Be a Good Fit If You
  • Have 7+ years of experience in technical program management for software, SaaS or systems development environments

  • A track record of leading large-scale, cross-team software delivery programs to successful completion.

  • Comfort operating in a fully remote, async-first environment

  • The ability to communicate clearly and quickly build credibility with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executive leadership.

  • The ability to influence and drive outcomes through others where no direct reporting relationship exists.

  • Strong attention to detail and a bias toward execution, grounded in data rather than opinion

  • Have strong technical fluency to self-identify risk in a plan and hold your own with senior engineers on architecture and dependencies.

  • Experience with Linear, Jira, or equivalent tooling at scale.

What We Offer
  • Fully Remote
