Senior Product Technical Program Managers (TPMs) at CarMax drive the delivery of large-scale and high-priority Product initiatives, bridging the gap between product strategy and technical execution. This role is positioned to manage and maintain complex multi-team initiatives that span organizational boundaries through the product delivery lifecycle, from idea generation through to release. You will be responsible for defining and guiding high-level goals and roadmaps, monitoring and communicating progress, and driving clarity through multiple levels of the organization. The person successful in this role has a high degree of results focus accompanied with a desire to win together. It requires a strong technical background, an understanding of system architecture, and the experience to effectively collaborate across all levels of product, design, and technology to deliver impact. The Senior Technical Program Manager will develop and manage end-to-end roadmaps in service of product priorities, manage cross-functional programs and projects in a matrixed organization, and communicate progress while escalating impediments to enable smooth delivery. This position also involves establishing shared goals and objectives to build alignment across multiple cross-functional teams, providing ongoing communication of planning, project status, issues, and risks promptly to stakeholders. The successful candidate will proactively identify process improvement opportunities or gaps in the product development cycle for owned and others' products and propose solutions. Additionally, they will test, implement, and iterate on potential improvements in planning and development processes, while mentoring and developing peers to be high-performing members of the broader product organization.
