Overview The Data & Analytics program is seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead cross-functional delivery of Transaction Lookup Services (TLS). The platform provides scalable, high-performance access to transaction data for disputes, chargebacks, analytics, customer servicing, and payment ecosystem partners across global markets. In this role, you’ll coordinate complex technical initiatives across Engineering, Architecture, Data, Operations, Security, regional teams, and business stakeholders. You’ll bring structure to ambiguity, manage dependencies and risks, and help teams deliver reliable, secure, compliant transaction-data capabilities on time. The ideal candidate combines strong program leadership with a practical understanding of APIs, distributed systems, cloud platforms, and end-to-end data flows. Role: • Lead planning and delivery of complex, cross-functional TLS initiatives from definition through launch and operational readiness. • Develop integrated program plans, milestones, success measures, and delivery governance aligned with business objectives and product roadmaps. • Coordinate Engineering, Data, Architecture, Operations, Security, and regional teams to align scope, sequencing, ownership, and delivery commitments. • Identify and manage dependencies across upstream transaction sources, data transformations, storage, APIs, and downstream consumers. • Track risks, issues, assumptions, and decisions; drive timely resolution and escalate blockers with clear options and impact assessments. • Facilitate technical and business discussions to clarify requirements, surface tradeoffs, and maintain alignment as scope or priorities change. • Partners with technical leads to plan for performance, availability, resiliency, security, compliance, data quality, and regionalization. • Monitor progress against milestones and outcomes, using delivery metrics and operational data to identify gaps and recommend corrective actions. • Coordinate testing, release readiness, launch communications, operational handoff, and post-launch follow-up. • Communicate program status, risks, dependencies, and business impact to senior leaders and cross-functional partners. • Use SQL and analytical tools, where appropriate, to investigate transaction-data patterns and issues, validate program outcomes, and support root-cause analysis. • Apply AI-assisted tools and emerging technologies to improve program planning, requirements analysis, reporting, and operational efficiency. • Evaluate opportunities
