Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Renew Home is on a mission to change how we power the world by making it easier for customers to save energy and money at home. They are seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to lead the planning and execution of complex programs across their VPP platform and consumer energy products, ensuring reliable delivery and effective communication across cross-functional teams.
Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end delivery of complex, multi-team programs spanning Engineering, Product, and Design, from scoping through launch and operational handoff
- Define and maintain the planning frameworks, milestone structures, and risk models that enable predictable delivery across your programs -- not just track against plans others set
- Identify, escalate, and drive resolution of cross-functional dependencies, blockers, and tradeoffs with clear recommendations, not just status updates
- Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to set and pressure-test roadmap sequencing, resource assumptions, and launch readiness criteria
- Drive programs through the full product lifecycle, with particular focus on launch readiness, post-launch metric validation, operational handoff to sustaining teams, and ensuring downstream stakeholders -- including Business Development, Customer Success, Grid Operations, and partner-facing functions -- are informed, equipped, and ready to operate before a program is formally closed
- Develop and share operational practices and retrospective learnings that raise the execution standard across the broader TPM team
- Serve as a decision-support resource for your stakeholders -- synthesizing technical and schedule complexity into clear options and tradeoffs for leadership
- Maintain cross-functional situational awareness across interdependent programs, surfacing risks and misalignments before they become escalations
Skills
- 7+ years of Technical Program Management or Engineering Program Management experience, with at least 3 years managing programs that span multiple engineering teams
- Demonstrated ability to build or substantially improve program management systems and frameworks, not just operate within existing ones
- Strong technical (software and/or hardware) foundation -- sufficient to pressure-test engineering estimates, understand architectural tradeoffs, and engage credibly with senior engineers
- Track record of driving alignment across functions without formal authority, particularly in environments where priorities compete and stakeholders span technical and non-technical functions
- Clear, direct communicator who can translate program complexity into executive-level narratives and decision points
- Experience with consumer-facing software products
- Experience in energy, grid services, IoT, or related infrastructure-adjacent domains
- Familiarity with VPP, demand response, or utility partner integration programs
- Experience managing programs that involve external partners, device fleets, or regulated operational environments
Benefits
- Target annual bonus of 15% of base salary
- Participation in long-term incentive programs tied to company growth and performance
- Fully remote work environment with home office set-up allowance
- No pre-set vacation limits (with a top-down culture of taking meaningful PTO every year!)
- Parental leave benefits
- Competitive benefits package that includes numerous health and wellness benefits
- 401(k) plan, with employer contributions to the same
