About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Manager, Technical Program Management to join our R&D Organization and stand up the Technical Program Management function at Supabase. You'll report to the Head of Product, Engineering, and Design and partner directly with the heads of Customer Success, Support, GTM, and PMM. You'll manage a small team of senior IC TPMs (starting with one), and you'll personally own the cross-functional interface fabric between Engineering, Product, Design, and the rest of the value delivery chain.

This is a founding role for the function. The shape, standards, and operating model are yours to define, against a clear position: TPM is not PMO. Engineering Managers are accountable for delivery on their teams. TPMs own the connective tissue between teams and between functions, the dependency graph of our largest programs, and the company standard for how we run projects in Linear.

This role is ideal for an experienced operator who has built TPM functions before, has strong technical fluency, and wants to define the operating fabric of a fast-moving, distributed software company without falling into the failure modes of centralized status-collection.

What You'll Be Responsible for

• Stand up the TPM function at Supabase. Define the operating model, the engagement model within product, eng and design, the standards we hold ourselves to, and the bar for the role. Hire and grow the team over time.

• Manage the senior IC TPM and grow the team as the function proves out. Coach, set direction, hold the standard, and protect the team from drift into status-collection or hygiene-on-behalf-of-teams.

• Own the cross-functional interface fabric between EPD and the rest of the company — named seams between Engineering and Customer Success, Support, GTM, PMM, with DRIs on each side, hand-off contracts, SLAs, and escalation paths. This is the unowned gap in the company today and your highest-leverage area in the first year.

• Author the company standard for project management in Linear, and pair synchronously with EMs and program leads on key cross-functional projects to make sure they get
