GE Aerospace is seeking a Senior Staff Technical Program Manager to lead infrastructure and platform program execution for a new AI enablement team in its defense systems business. The role owns the platform backlog, coordinates stakeholders and dependencies, drives adoption of a shared delivery pipeline, and maintains standard work and delivery metrics to support enterprise-grade AI solutions.
Responsibilities
- Own the platform product backlog and intake: how platform work is requested, prioritized, sequenced, and released
- Translate the Director's roadmap into a resourced plan with physical dates and one named owner per action
- Run the daily management, WOR, and MOR cadence for the platform team — managing the plan to Green rather than reporting status
- Drive adoption of the single golden-path delivery pipeline across the four product-development teams, tracking adoption and removing friction
- Coordinate the onboarding of teams onto shared services and the paved road, with clear entry criteria and support
- Manage dependencies between the platform team and the product and architecture teams without formal authority, using transparent intake and prioritization criteria
- Broker trade-offs and surface conflicts early, escalating with options attached rather than letting dates slip silently
- Define and maintain the standard work for platform intake, change, and release
- Instrument platform adoption, reliability, and delivery metrics (including DORA) and report them into the operating rhythm
Skills
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college with a minimum of 5 years of professional experience OR Associate's degree with a minimum of 8 years of professional experience OR High School Diploma with a minimum of 10 years of professional experience
- Minimum 5 years of professional experience in Technical Program Management or IT

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field
- Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), SAFe Agilist or Product Owner, or PMP certification
- Experience managing an infrastructure, platform, or DevOps program as a product, including backlog and roadmap ownership
- Working knowledge of CI/CD, cloud environments, and the mechanics of a golden-path delivery pipeline
- Demonstrated ability to drive adoption of a shared standard across teams that do not report to you
- Fluency instrumenting and reporting delivery metrics, including DORA (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, time-to-restore)
- FLIGHT DECK, Lean, or a comparable operating-cadence discipline
- Defense, aerospace, or other regulated-industry background
