Job Title

Staff Technical Program Manager

Role Summary

Operational and program lead within Arm's Solutions Engineering Group supporting SoC development programs and two engineering functions (Technology IPs; Compute, Methodology and Automations). Acts as the central operational anchor to enable planning, coordination, tracking and cross-functional execution for distributed engineering and operations partners.

Primary focus: run operational cadences, maintain program schedules and trackers, surface risks, and drive resolution to ensure on-time delivery across multiple teams and geographies.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Role requires significant program, operations, or project management experience; no specific years of experience stated.

Responsibilities

The role is responsible for organizing operational cadences, maintaining program artifacts, tracking execution and ensuring follow-through across verification, validation and delivery activities.

• Own and run key operational cadences (staff meetings, quarterly operational reviews); set agendas, track actions, and ensure closure.
• Manage resourcing artifacts: headcount planning, hiring status and alignment with finance/workforce processes.
• Track decisions, commitments, dependencies, risks and open issues across cross-functional discussions to prevent items being lost.
• Act as an operational partner to leadership: anticipate needs, surface risks, and drive cross-team resolution.
• Maintain and update program schedules, trackers and execution dashboards (e.g., Microsoft Project and shared trackers).
• Drive execution hygiene: action tracking, follow-up, escalation of critical issues and closure.
• Organize and maintain clear program documentation and repositories.
• Support follow-up and closure of open actions, risks and issues across verification and validation activities.

Requirements

• General knowledge of design-to-product flows, EDA tools and automation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to synthesize information and communicate clearly at all levels.
• Ability to operate independently, manage competing priorities and adapt in a fast-moving environment.

Nice-to-have

• AI tooling experience.
• Prior ASIC design or SoC integration experience (bus protocols, memory controllers, clocks, I/O, debug, security).
