Wing is looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to join our Technical Program Management  team. This role is hybrid based in Palo Alto. We are looking for a high-leverage, outcome-oriented Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our Technical Program Management organization. You will lead some of our most critical zero-to-one pilot programs from early technical architecture through full-scale production launch. Additionally, you will serve as the steward of the Product Development Process, driving adoption, standardizing operational rigor across engineering teams, and continuously evolving the framework to scale with our business.
Drive process compliance, alignment, and adoption across all engineering teams, ensuring consistent quality, traceability, and execution rigor.
Continuously inspect, refine, and modernize the PDP lifecycle (phase gates, design reviews, launch readiness, post-mortems) to eliminate friction and ensure processes stay lean and effective.
Define and track key operational metrics (e.g., cycle times, release velocity, defect escape rates) to measure PDP health and drive continuous improvements.

Experience: 12+ years of technical program management experience, with a proven track record operating at executive level visibility in high-growth, technically complex environments.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
Experience operating in regulated, mission-critical, or hardware-software integrated product environments.
Ability to establish operational standards and drive compliance through partnership and trust rather than bureaucratic mandates.
Background in developing internal tooling, dashboards, and automated workflows to track governance and engineering velocity.
0-to-1 Delivery: Demonstrated success leading mission-critical technical initiatives from initial prototype/pilot phase through to commercial-scale production.
Process Leadership: Proven experience designing, rolling out, and governing a formal Product Development Process (PDP) or Stage-Gate framework across multi-disciplinary engineering organizations.
Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to distill deep technical trade-offs into actionable insights for VP and C-suite stakeholders.
