Sony Interactive Entertainment is hiring a Staff Technical Program Manager to lead strategic technical programs across PlayStation engineering organizations. The role translates business and technical objectives into executable plans, manages dependencies and risks, and improves program governance and execution practices at scale.
Responsibilities
- Lead large, strategic technical programs spanning multiple engineering teams, organizations, technologies, or geographies, with accountability for end-to-end outcomes
- Build integrated program plans and roadmaps that connect technical requirements, architecture, dependencies, milestones, resources, risks, and decision points
- Develop sufficient understanding of system architecture and technical constraints to identify cross-system impacts, challenge assumptions constructively, and improve planning and decision quality
- Partner closely with engineering leaders, architects, product partners, and other technical stakeholders to translate objectives into clear execution strategies and drive resolution of complex issues
- Anticipate and actively manage technical and organizational dependencies, surfacing tradeoffs early and driving decisions before they become delivery blockers
- Establish clear program health measures and provide decision-quality visibility into progress, risk, scope, and outcomes for senior stakeholders
- Operate as a trusted partner to senior leaders, using technical context, program data, and organizational knowledge to shape recommendations and execution strategy
- Use independent judgment to determine the right program methodology, governance, and operating model for the work rather than applying process mechanically
- Analyze complex problems across organizations and technologies, identify patterns and root causes, and drive practical solutions that balance technical, business, schedule, and resource considerations
- Strengthen requirements and major program decisions by connecting business objectives with technical realities, long-term implications, and customer or organizational value
- Create clear narratives and recommendations that enable senior leaders to understand options, tradeoffs, risks, and required decisions
- Design and improve scalable program practices, governance, planning cadences, OKRs/KPIs, and decision mechanisms that increase clarity and execution effectiveness across multiple teams
- Identify where existing processes or methodologies create unnecessary friction and adapt or simplify them while preserving appropriate rigor and accountability
- Lead change and standardization efforts where needed, building adoption through stakeholder engagement, practical implementation, and measurable outcomes
- Mentor TPMs and cross-functional partners, share reusable practices, and contribute to stronger technical program management capability across the organization
Skills
- 8+ years of relevant technical program or project management experience, including ownership of complex software or technology initiatives spanning multiple teams or organizations
- Demonstrated technical fluency across software systems, platforms, architecture, integrations, and engineering practices; able to understand system interactions, ask informed technical questions, and translate technical complexity into program decisions
- Proven ability to lead large strategic programs end to end, from problem definition and planning through execution, delivery, and measurable outcomes
- Strong independent judgment and problem-solving skills, with experience operating effectively in ambiguous environments where the path forward is not predefined
- Experience managing cross-team dependencies, technical risks, roadmaps, milestones, requirements, decision points, and delivery tradeoffs across the software development lifecycle
- Ability to influence senior technical and business leaders, build alignment across competing priorities, and drive decisions without direct authority
- Experience designing or improving program operating models, governance, planning cadences, metrics, or ways of working that scale beyond a single initiative
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to create concise executive narratives while maintaining sufficient technical depth for engineering audiences
- Demonstrated ability to mentor, coach, or raise the effectiveness of other TPMs and cross-functional partners through reusable practices and knowledge sharing
- Prior hands-on experience in software engineering, systems engineering, QA, architecture, or another technical discipline
- Experience supporting platform, infrastructure, developer tooling, cloud, distributed systems, or other complex engineering environments
- Experience leading standardization, transformation, or organizational change initiatives across multiple technical teams
- Background in the games or interactive entertainment industry
