Job DescriptionJob Description

We are currently seeking a Technical Program Manager (TPM). This is a long term contracting position located in Vienna, VA. Candidates will work a hybrid schedule, onsite 2-3 days a week. LOCAL CANDIDATES are . This role is for candidates with 5-10 years of experience. We are able to work with W2 and established 1099 candidates (no c2c).

The TPM serves as the bridge between Marketing Data Science, Marketing business teams, and Enterprise Technology organizations. The position is responsible for leading the delivery and operationalization of data, analytics, AI, and machine learning initiatives that support marketing effectiveness, customer targeting, personalization, experimentation, and measurement. The TPM oversees complex, cross-functional programs involving data platforms, data pipelines, analytics models, and AI-enabled capabilities, ensuring they move from concept or proof-of-concept into scalable, compliant, and production-ready solutions. The role requires strong collaboration with data scientists, data engineers, architects, security, governance, and business stakeholders while managing risks, dependencies, timelines, and executive communications. Unlike a traditional TPM focused on software feature delivery, this role emphasizes analytics enablement, data governance, model activation, measurement frameworks, and the operational deployment of data science solutions within a regulated enterprise environment.

The Technical Program Manager (TPM) supports the Marketing Data Science organization by leading the delivery, integration, and operationalization of data-driven and analytics-enabled marketing capabilities. This role ensures that data platforms, pipelines, models, and AI-enabled use cases are delivered in a compliant, scalable, and production-ready manner—bridging Data Science innovation with enterprise execution. The TPM partners closely with Marketing Data Science, Marketing stakeholders, and Enterprise Technology teams to translate analytic concepts into actionable capabilities that enable targeting, measurement, experimentation, and member-centric decisioning at scale.
