Key job responsibilities
Own people management for the DSE TPM team, including hiring, performance, growth, and promotion, and hold team-level accountability for the delivery of every program the team runs.
Define and own the team's charter, operating model, and goal portfolio, so each program carries a named owner, a metric, and skip-level visibility.
Own AI program delivery end to end, including OTS MCP, OTS-A, and OTS-KG, and coordinate agentic-workspace delivery with product partners.
Act as single-threaded owner at the portfolio level for ambiguous, cross-functional programs that span Product, Engineering, and Operations.
Govern the dependency interface. Where a program depends on a product feature or an engineering deliverable, manage that interface with logged needed-by dates.
Partner with product and engineering leaders across DSE and ANCHOR to resolve service overlap, drive build-versus-reuse decisions, and align competing priorities without direct authority.
Own the portfolio's review and reporting standards, and set adoption, cost-avoidance, and efficiency metrics that make program impact measurable.
Contribute to annual planning (OP1/OP2) with clear investment and headcount proposals, and run a mechanism to capture voice of the customer from internal OTS employees and operational customers.
A day in the life
Your day moves between people leadership and portfolio delivery. You run 1:1s and coaching conversations with your TPMs, unblock a stalled program, and step into a red program to drive a decision with the owning TPM and their engineering counterparts. You review portfolio status and dependency risk, then join an architecture or prioritization discussion with Product and Engineering to set where service boundaries sit. In the afternoon you make trade-offs across competing priorities, prepare the monthly Kingpin review or the ServiceNow MPR for senior leadership, and draft the strategy and investment narratives that keep the portfolio funded. You build the mechanisms, the RACI, risk registers, dashboards, and review cadences, so the team can scale without you in every meeting.
About the team
OTS Delivery Software Engineering (DSE) is a product-engineering partnership responsible for every technology platform OTS field technicians and operations associates use daily. The team defines what to build, and a 50-plus person engineering org of AppDev, SysDev, and SDEs delivers it. DSE owns ServiceNow as its enterprise platform, builds AI agents on AWS Bedrock, and runs the technology behind a 24/7 Service Desk. The TPM team is the coordination layer between product vision and engineering execution across ESC, SPM, ITSM, the Idea Portal, routing, and release management on one platform. It partners with ANCHOR, Global Workforce Management (GWM), and the OTS and RME program teams.
