DESCRIPTION

Whole Foods Market (WFM) Infrastructure Engineering organization is looking for an innovative Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our Engineering Services team. This team will be deployed against some of our most complex and challenging projects and will deliver innovative technical solutions. We have an opportunity to revolutionize online shopping and set new standards for accessing the highest quality organic, and natural groceries online.

As the TPM II, you will be a key member of tech leadership and will need to drive forward the technology across Whole Foods Market to create a best in class online grocery shopping experience.

We are looking for an individual with strong business and technical skills, great communication abilities, and a passion to use cutting edge science and technologies to help WFM.

In the TPM role, you will be responsible for delivering large projects end-to-end that span multiple technology and operational teams. These projects will include initiatives such as rolling out new technology to new geographies as we expand, creating new technology to support new businesses and use cases and building great technology platforms that can scale.

The leader will have a proven track record in taking on end-to-end ownership and successfully delivering results in a fast-paced and dynamic business environment. As a TPM, you will anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, and balance the business needs versus technical constraints. An ability to take large, complex projects and break them down into manageable pieces, develop functional specifications, then deliver them in a successful and timely manner is expected. Maturity, high judgment, negotiation skills, ability to influence, analytical talent and leadership are essential to success in this role.
