About this job
About Wing:
Wing offers drone delivery as a safe, fast, and sustainable solution for last mile logistics. Consumer appetites for on-demand services are increasing, but current delivery methods are inefficient, costly, and contribute to road accidents and air pollution. Wing’s fleet of highly automated delivery drones can transport small packages directly from businesses to homes on-demand, in minutes. We design, build, and operate our aircraft, and offer drone delivery services on two continents. Our technology is designed to be easy to integrate into existing delivery and logistics networks, offering a scalable drone delivery solution for a broad range of businesses. Wing is a part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, and our mission is to create the preferred means of delivery for the planet. If you're ready to do the greatest work of your life, come join us.
About the Role:
Wing is looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager to join our Technical Program Management team. This role is hybrid based in Palo Alto. We are looking for a high-leverage, outcome-oriented Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our Technical Program Management organization. You will lead some of our most critical zero-to-one pilot programs from early technical architecture through full-scale production launch. Additionally, you will serve as the steward of the Product Development Process, driving adoption, standardizing operational rigor across engineering teams, and continuously evolving the framework to scale with our business.
What You’ll Do:
- Drive end-to-end execution of strategic pilot initiatives, transforming ambiguous, early-stage concepts into validated, scalable production systems.
- Partner with Engineering, Architecture, Product Management, QA, and Operations to define technical requirements, milestones, success metrics, and delivery roadmaps.
- Identify, track, and aggressively de-risk complex technical dependencies, architectural bottlenecks, and cross-functional blockers.
- Drive Product Development Process(PDP) compliance, alignment, and adoption across all engineering teams, ensuring consistent quality, traceability, and execution rigor.
- Continuously inspect, refine, and modernize the PDP lifecycle to stay lean and effective while cross functionally ensuring phase gates are executed.
What You’ll Need:
- 12+ years of technical program management experience, with a proven track record operating at executive level visibility in high-growth, technically complex environments.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
- 0-to-1 Delivery: Demonstrated success leading mission-critical technical initiatives from initial prototype/pilot phase through to commercial-scale production.
- Process Leadership: Proven experience designing, rolling out, and governing a formal Product Development Process (PDP) or Stage-Gate framework across multi-disciplinary engineering organizations.
- Experience operating in regulated, mission-critical, or hardware-software integrated product environments.
