## About the role

As the Cloud Software TPM for Equipment Monitoring, you will own the end-to-end delivery of EM programs across cloud software (backend, frontend, and mobile), from quarterly planning and sprint execution through customer launch and adoption. Most EM projects combine embedded, IoT, backend, and frontend work, and you will make sure those pieces come together into one cohesive plan with clear owners, milestones, and dependencies.

## What they're looking for

- Proven track record leading large, ambiguous, multi-team cloud software programs (backend, web, mobile) with significant cross-team dependencies and measurable customer or business impact
- Bias for action and root-cause problem solving over administrative tracking
- Strong organization and communication, ability to lead and coach without authority across distributed teams and to translate technical detail into clear updates for leadership
- Ability to define and track quality and delivery metrics (for example, escaped defects, reliability, predictability, customer feedback) and turn data into an action plan
- Comfort in a fast-paced, changing environment, building process where little exists
- Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar tools, strong knowledge of agile methods, and experience using automation (including AI tools) to keep programs visible without manual overhead for engineers
