Job Description

Overview

David Yurman is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to drive execution, alignment, and delivery across the Data Management & Analytics organization. This role operates at the intersection of business and technology, owning the operational rigor of agile processes while ensuring business needs are translated into clear, actionable data solutions.

The Senior TPM will act as a Scrum Master for data teams and a connector across business stakeholders and data sub teams including Data Engineering, Data Science, and Operational Reporting. This individual will bring structure to how work is defined, prioritized, and delivered, ensuring speed, clarity, and accountability across a complex and evolving data environment.

This role requires someone who can engage meaningfully with engineers, challenge assumptions, and understand tradeoffs, while not being responsible for hands-on development. The ideal candidate knows when to push, when to escalate, and how to unblock teams by navigating the right technical and organizational paths.

Key Responsibilities
  • Act as the primary interface between business stakeholders and data teams
  • Gather and translate business needs into clear, structured user stories with acceptance criteria
  • Ensure alignment on business outcomes, success metrics, and priorities
  • Partner with technical leads to ensure work is appropriately scoped, prioritized, and sequenced
  • Serve as Scrum Master across data workstreams, leading sprint ceremonies including planning, grooming, standups, and retrospectives
  • Establish and enforce best practices for backlog management, story writing, estimation, and sprint planning
  • Track progress against sprint goals and proactively manage risks, blockers, and dependencies
  • Facilitate working sessions and UAT support to ensure delivered solutions meet expectations
  • Oversee end-to-end delivery of data initiatives from intake through deployment and validation
  • Manage cross-functional dependencies across systems such as Snowflake, Sigma, Oracle EBS, PLM, Middleware, etc.
  • Maintain clear program-level visibility through status reporting, dashboards, and stakeholder updates
  • Drive alignment across multiple concurrent initiatives, balancing strategic priorities and ad hoc requests
  • Optimize use of tools such as Jira for backlog management, sprint tracking, and reporting
  • Maintain structure around intake, prioritization, and governance of requests
  • Continuously improve team efficiency, communication, and delivery predictability
  • Establish and lead incident management processes, including defining SLAs, severity levels, and response protocols to ensure timely triage and resolution of data issues
  • Drive clear stakeholder communication during incidents and lead postmortems to identify root cause, implement corrective actions, and improve overall data reliability and monitoring
Qualifications
  • 7+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Scrum Master, or Project Management roles within data or technology organizations
  • Strong understanding of data ecosystems including data engineering, analytics, BI/reporting, and data science workflows
  • Proven experience running agile delivery at scale, including backlog grooming, sprint planning, and estimation practices
  • Strong ability to translate business requirements into technical deliverables
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders
  • Strong communication skills required for stakeholder as well as technical communication
  • Experience in retail, eCommerce, or luxury goods is a plus
  • Working understanding of cloud environment (AWS, GCP) and cloud databases (Snowflake, Databricks, PostgreSQL) is a nice to have
What Success Looks Like
  • Visibility into data teams' work for stakeholders and Tech leadership alike
  • Data team operates with clear, consistent agile processes and well-defined backlogs
  • Business stakeholders have confidence in delivery timelines and outputs
  • Requirements are clearly defined upfront, reducing rework and ambiguity
  • Cross-team dependencies are proactively managed
  • The data organization delivers with speed, predictability, and transparency
