Join Our Flash Team as a Lead, Technical Product Manager (OS)!

We’re seeking a Lead Technical Product Manager (TPM) to own the end-to-end delivery and execution of initiatives across our Operational Systems (OS) and platform domain—driving execution from ideation through the full software development lifecycle (SDLC) to ensure high-quality, predictable delivery.

This is a hands-on, execution-first role where you will translate product vision into clear, actionable engineering plans, lead Agile execution, and take full ownership of delivery outcomes across complex, cross-functional initiatives. You will operate at the center of Product and Engineering, bringing structure to ambiguity, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring teams are set up to deliver with consistency and precision across internal systems and platform capabilities.

Success in this role means platform and internal product initiatives move from concept to release with minimal ambiguity, strong technical alignment, and predictable outcomes. Engineering teams are enabled to execute efficiently, dependencies are managed proactively, and delivery metrics improve over time through disciplined execution and continuous improvement.

The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation, a proactive and ownership-driven mindset, and a proven track record of delivering complex software systems with high quality and operational rigor. You are comfortable navigating system complexity, influencing across stakeholders, and driving clarity across interconnected workstreams.

This is a high-impact opportunity to shape how internal platforms and systems scale, with meaningful ownership, high visibility, and the ability to influence how the TPM function evolves—while partnering closely with Engineering to improve delivery health, system reliability, and long-term platform scalability.
