Technical Program Manager

San Francisco, US Full-time

You’ll support our engineering, design, and operations teams by driving clear prioritization, writing crisp product specs, and ensuring we maintain a high bar for product quality. This is a role for someone who is smart, organized, analytical, and excited to help ship product at a fast-moving Series A startup.

What You’ll Do

Product Execution & Documentation

  • Create clear, structured PRDs, feature specs, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
  • Maintain accurate product documentation across Notion, Linear, and internal workflows.
  • Translate business needs into well-defined requirements with rationale and tradeoffs.

Prioritization & Roadmapping

  • Help maintain the product roadmap by sequencing work based on impact, complexity, and dependencies.
  • Partner with senior PMs and leadership to run lightweight prioritization processes.
  • Manage sprint planning inputs and ensure teams have what they need to execute.

Quality & Delivery

  • Hold engineering to a high standard of product quality — functional, visual, and experiential.
  • Review builds before release; validate functionality against requirements.
  • Coordinate QA efforts, run checklists, and ensure defects are addressed quickly.

Analytics & Insight Gathering

  • Use SQL queries and our BI tooling to ask questions to understand performance and user behavior.
  • Track success metrics for features (adoption, usage, retention, quality).
  • Synthesize insights from data, user feedback, and coach conversations.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work closely with engineering, design, operations, and coach-facing teams.
  • Drive alignment through clear communication, structured updates, and fast follow-ups.
  • Support discovery work through research, light user interviews, and competitive scans.

What You Bring

  • 1–3 years of product management or product-adjacent experience (product ops, business operations, data/analytics, associate PM, etc.).
  • Ability to produce crisp documentation and structure ambiguous problems.
  • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and follow-through.
  • Comfort digging into data — SQL basics, dashboards, pulling reports.
  • Experience working with engineering teams and understanding basic technical concepts.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to build trust across functions.
  • A high personal bar for product quality, polish, and user experience.

Bonus Skills

  • Previous experience in consumer apps, wellness, fitness, or creator products.
  • Experience in a startup environment with rapid iteration cycles.
  • Light design literacy (Figma) or technical literacy (APIs, architecture basics).

Salary range is dependent on geographic location, prior experience, seniority, and demonstrated role related ability during the interview process.
