Ethos is a life insurance technology company transforming how life insurance is bought, sold, and underwritten. The platform serves consumers, agents, and carriers, turning a process that used to take weeks into one that takes minutes.
As a Senior Technical Program Manager, you will lead cross-team programs that move the business forward, from carrier integrations and partner launches to internal tooling and platform improvements. You'll bring structure to ambiguity, keep many teams aligned, and ensure what ships is what was intended.
Key responsibilities include:
- Own end-to-end delivery of cross-functional programs, from scoping and planning through launch and follow-up
- Lead high-impact programs with minimal oversight, owning outcomes rather than just plans
- Partner with Engineering, Product, Data, Operations, and external partners to translate goals into clear plans, milestones, and owners
- Identify risks and dependencies early, communicate them plainly, and drive decisions rather than waiting for consensus
- Maintain program health visibility through crisp written updates so leaders and teams always know status
- Engage with technical details (architecture, integrations, data flows) deeply enough to ask the right questions and make sound tradeoffs
- Run retrospectives after every launch and feed learnings back into planning and execution processes
Requirements:
- 5+ years of technical program management or similar experience at a technology company
- Track record of delivering complex programs spanning multiple engineering teams
- Technical depth sufficient to engage with engineers on system design, APIs, and integrations
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including with senior stakeholders
- Comfort with ambiguity and judgment to prioritize and adjust quickly
- Data-driven approach: define success metrics upfront and measure against them
Nice to have:
- Experience in insurance, fintech, or other regulated industries
- Experience with partner or third-party integrations
- Experience using AI tools to speed up planning, reporting, and execution
