Program Manager II
Remote or Onsite
Summary:
There are two programs that require the support by the capacity of one (1) program manager.
Program 1: Privacy Waves (expecting 30-35% of bandwidth)
Privacy Waves is a program that allows privacy works to be federated across our company. It is an essential tool to facilitate the action of many privacy-related goals, especially those that require identification, audit, verification, validation, and deletion of various assets.
Because the program is heavily federated, it requires dexterous program management for it to run well to achieve our goal.
Prior to having a CW PgM onboard, we had a much lower action rate of privacy waves.
Program 2: Monetization (expecting 65-70% of bandwidth)
Because the pace of Mon is extremely fast and there are a lot of moving pieces, we again need a program manager to coordinate the program, facilitate meetings and takeaways, and manage discussion cadences. Prior to having a CW PgM on this, these were managed directly by senior TPMs or sometimes the senior leads themselves, which was not a good use of their time.
Job Expectations:
Program 1: Privacy Waves
Privacy Waves is a federation program that receives, prioritizes, and distributes privacy-related work across our product and business engineering teams. Waves operate in monthly sprints, distributing tasks that range from critical compliance requirements to improve the privacy capability of our infra, data, and code.
Within Monetization, when Wave tasks are aligned between Central Privacy and Monetization PPG, we aim to achieve a 90% task action rate of wave tasks.
Responsibilities:
At the beginning of each wave:
During each wave, week over week:
At the end of each wave:
Program 2: Monetization Pilot
Responsibilities:
Requirements:
Pay range is $53 - $58 per hour with full benefits available, including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401K, parental leave, and more. Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. Pay is based on several factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
THE PROMISES WE MAKE:
At Crystal Equation, we empower people and advance technology initiatives by building trust. Your recruiter will prep you for the interview, obtain feedback, guide you through any necessary paperwork and provide everything you need for a successful start. We will serve to empower you along the way and provide the path for your professional journey.
