Wayfair is looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to organize and drive the technology initiatives that support our Financial Systems 2.0 program.

In this role, you will manage the full lifecycle of a massive, complex, cross-functional program which requires anticipating (and de-risking) bottlenecks, managing escalations, ensuring involved teams make smart (data informed) tradeoff decisions, and balancing the customer and business needs within our technical constraints. As a technology program owner, you’re accountable for the technology strategy’s development and responsible for its execution.

An ideal candidate will be entrepreneurial, innovative (both with technology and in getting things done), and highly influential. They will love using technology to solve complex problems in a high-growth environment with a passionate and engaged team and advocating for the needs of our 21 million customers and 11,000 global suppliers.

Who We Are:

Wayfair believes everyone should live in a home they love. Through technology and innovation, we make it possible for 21 million shoppers to quickly and easily find exactly what they want from a selection of more than 14 million items across home furnishings, décor, home improvement, housewares and more. Partnering with Engineering, Experience Design, Analytics and business leaders across Wayfair, our teams ensure that we’re building technology that solves important customer problems in elegant, scalable, and measurable ways.

In This Role, You Will:

• Collaborate to define the mission, vision, and guiding principles for your program (and team); setting the objectives, analyzing the data to inform decisions, driving outcomes, and influencing the resourcing of your key initiatives.
• Drive the creation of scalable, cross-cutting, solutions from concept to delivery with your cross-functional technology partners; you’ll be able to zoom into the weeds of a solution or back out to the SVP-level to communicate constraints and outcomes.
• Create plans that have clear, measurable success criteria, and clearly communicate progress and outcomes.
• Create roadmaps and plans that have a clear series of milestones, measurable success criteria, and clearly communicate progress and outcomes.
• Simplify complexity for the team, drive smart tradeoff decisions, and deliver incremental value.
• Force multiply the efforts of many teams to deliver impact by removing bottlenecks before they become roadblocks, optimizing working models, and instrumenting repeatable processes.
• Own the prevention of traditional failures: bad understanding of the customer/business problem, weak collaboration, interdependencies not being mapped, weak technical solutioning (debt), gaps in testing, or unclear success measurement.
• Communicate and align with senior leadership. You will effectively paint with context and drive high quality decisions.
• Provide clear business communication to stakeholders across all levels, departments, and skill sets and represent the program team across the business.

What You’ll Need:

• A track-record of shipping complicated software solutions (products, systems, features) in an agile environment.
• A deep understanding of of distributed systems and scalable solutions; you’ll be expected to help contribute to the design and development of new platforms and capabilities with your software engineering peers
• An entrepreneurial mindset, with a bias for customer focused innovation.
• Excellent analytical skills with demonstrated experience turning data into actionable insights.
• Ability to liaise with business and technical stakeholders and tailor communications appropriately.
• A BS in computer science, electrical engineering, a related technical discipline or significant experience in large scale platform initiatives.
• 5-7 years of experience in software engineering, software product management, software development management, or technical program management.
• PMP certification or extensive program management experience.
• Familiarity with change management
