It suits a seasoned Scrum Lead who has managed complex, multi-team software initiatives and knows how to keep delivery pipelines moving without losing sight of quality or scope.

About the Role

The Senior Technical Program Manager works within Disney’s Advertising Platforms group, a technical department responsible for the software systems that underpin ad delivery across episodic television and streaming distribution. Day to day, this person runs Agile ceremonies, tracks initiative health, and coordinates across engineering, product, and operations teams to move features from kickoff to release. The work directly affects how Disney’s media platforms scale and maintain reliability across a high-volume production and distribution environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end software delivery across advertising platform initiatives, managing scope, schedule, and risk from initiation through closure.
• Lead Scrum ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and backlog grooming across cross-functional engineering teams.
• Identify delivery risks early, resolve blockers at the team level, and escalate issues to leadership when the production workflow requires it.
• Monitor and report delivery metrics to executives and stakeholders, keeping initiative health transparent across the ad tech pipeline.
• Facilitate cross-group alignment meetings that produce clear decisions, not just status updates, across Disney’s distributed technology teams.
• Influence stakeholders toward process improvements and technical solutions that improve velocity and reliability on the platform.

What You Bring

• Five or more years of hands-on experience as a Scrum Lead managing software development projects end to end.
• Deep working knowledge of Agile frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, and Scaled Agile methods applied to large engineering organizations.
• Extensive experience with the full software development lifecycle on formal application development programs.
• Proficiency with standard project management tools used in enterprise technology environments.
• Proven ability to manage multiple technical stakeholders across teams the size and complexity found at a major media studio.
