Job Description This role will be based in Mountain View, CA.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

We are seeking a Manager, Technical Program Management to join our Product Services Marketplace (PSM) TPM organization. In this role, you will lead and develop a team of Technical Program Managers while partnering closely with senior R&D leaders to define, prioritize, and drive complex portfolios. You will establish and evolve program management governance, execution frameworks, and operating rhythms that enable successful delivery across large, cross-functional teams.

Our Products and Services Marketplace (PSM) vision is to become the definitive B2B commerce platform for all organizations worldwide, empowering marketers, sellers, buyers, users and customers to drive better outcomes for themselves and their businesses. The PSM strategy recognizes that we will continue to deliver value to our LMS (LinkedIn Marketing Solutions) and LSS (LinkedIn Sales Solution) businesses, and that the lion’s share of our investment will be going to directly drive growth in these two areas.

At this level, the ideal candidate can clearly articulate complex tradeoffs, dependencies, and interactions that influence program outcomes and coach the team to do the same. You bring a strong balance of people leadership, organizational rigor, and technical depth, and you are effective in driving alignment and execution in highly matrixed environments where authority is not assumed.

• Partner closely with Director+ Product and Engineering leaders to influence strategy, priorities, and trade‑offs, and to improve execution efficiency at scale.
• Act as the execution DRI for the portfolio by managing dependencies, risks, conflicts, and escalations to ensure sustained forward momentum.
• Champion modern, pragmatic execution practices including Agile operating rhythms and AI‑enabled workflows, applying the right level of process to maximize speed and impact.
• Create a culture of autonomy, transparency, and continuous learning where teams are empowered to think big, move fast, and raise the bar.
• Represent the business area with credibility and conviction, providing crisp portfolio health updates and influencing stakeholders through data, judgment, and leadership presence.

Qualifications Basic Qualifications:

• B.S./B.A. in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 2+ years of people management experience managing technical and/or technical program management teams.
• 3+ years of full-time program management experience within an Engineering department.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience leading large‑scale consumer and enterprise initiatives, taking products and platforms from concept through execution and launch in cross‑functional environments.
• Strong foundation in program and project lifecycle management, with the ability to plan, execute, and deliver multi‑team initiatives with clear ownership and accountability.
• Demonstrated ability to keep complex efforts moving while maintaining the big picture, making sound prioritization and trade‑off decisions.
• Proven experience in cross‑functional collaboration, partnering closely with Engineering, Product, and business stakeholders to deliver outcomes.
• Solid command of Agile practices (Scrum and Kanban) across multiple teams, with judgment to apply the right level of process for the situation.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, able to drive alignment, surface risks early, and communicate clearly at both team and leadership levels.
• Hands‑on familiarity with AI‑assisted workflows or tools, using AI to improve execution, productivity, decision‑making, or signal quality in day‑to‑day work.
• Strong technical curiosity and learning mindset, including experience partnering with Engineering and Product on AI‑driven initiatives amid ambiguity, fast iteration, and evolving requirements.

Suggested Skills:

• People Management
• Program+Product Management
