Operating at executive scope, you will partner with senior leaders across product engineering, infrastructure, and client platforms to translate performance strategy into durable execution frameworks. The environment is highly technical, data-driven, and deeply collaborative, requiring both strategic vision and hands-on technical depth. You will define operating models that prevent regressions, improve user experience, and ensure long-term system health.

- Define and operationalize the performance strategy, including measurement frameworks, success metrics, and regression prevention mechanisms.
- Partner with engineering, infrastructure, data science, and product leaders to translate performance goals into executable cross-functional programs.
- Build and evolve operating models that embed performance into engineering culture, prioritization, and delivery workflows.

- Design measurement systems that connect technical performance improvements to real user experience and business outcomes.
- Identify systemic risks and tradeoffs across client platforms, release systems, and production environments using deep technical judgment.
- Drive organizational change that shifts teams from reactive performance work to proactive, scalable, and durable practices.
- 14+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, engineering, infrastructure, or performance/reliability-focused technical roles.
- Proven experience leading large-scale, multi-organization technical programs with executive-level visibility.
- Strong technical fluency in performance and reliability domains, including mobile/web systems, observability, release health, and user journey metrics.
- Deep understanding of system-level tradeoffs affecting scalability, latency, user experience, and platform stability.
- Strong data-driven mindset with the ability to design meaningful performance and success measurement frameworks.
- Exceptional cross-functional communication and stakeholder management skills across engineering and executive teams.
- Demonstrated experience driving organizational change and embedding new engineering practices at scale.
- Ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on technical engagement in complex systems.
- Experience in experimentation systems, platform reliability, or large-scale infrastructure programs is highly valued.
- Competitive base salary range of $260,800 to $365,100 USD depending on experience and location.
