Responsibilities

Who We Are:

SiriusXM and its brands (Pandora, SiriusXM Media, AdsWizz, Simplecast, and SiriusXM Connected Vehicle Services) are leading a new era of audio entertainment and services by delivering the most compelling subscription and ad-supported audio entertainment experience for listeners -- in the car, at home, and anywhere on the go with connected devices. Our vision is to shape the future of audio, where everyone can be effortlessly connected to the voices, stories and music they love wherever they are.

We are proud to have launched a new state-of-the-art technology facility in Dublin, Ireland. The Dublin-based team plays a critical role in our continued digital transformation, and functions as a center of excellence for SiriusXM’s global Product and Technology organization.

SiriusXM’s new Dublin facility comprises a workforce focused on software development, automotive technology and engineering, adtech, data science, and analytics. Talent based in Dublin will be charged with developing and implementing best-in-class standards for high-quality, scalable software deliveries for SiriusXM’s streaming and in-vehicle audio entertainment platforms.

How you’ll make an impact:

The Principal Technical Program Manager will lead large, complex cross-organizational initiatives across SiriusXM’s digital listening experiences, with a primary focus on the Experience Engineering organization. This role spans Playback Services, Content Services, and client-facing teams across mobile, 10-foot, web, and speaker platforms, driving alignment across service and application layers to deliver cohesive consumer experiences.

You will operate as a hybrid Principal individual contributor, combining domain technical program management, program leadership, and workstream ownership for the organization’s highest-priority initiatives. You will shape how complex programs are defined, sequenced, communicated, and executed, partnering closely with product and engineering leadership to manage dependencies, surface risks early, and drive decision-making from discovery through launch.

This role is ideal for a senior technical program leader who can create clarity in ambiguous environments, connect platform and client execution, and influence outcomes across multiple teams without direct authority.

What you’ll do:

Lead the delivery of large, org-wide initiatives that involve significant technical implementations, span across multiple engineering and product domain areas, and provide overarching commercial values that require orchestration across multiple, dependent components on our business, product and technical platforms.
Define program structure, operating rhythms, and execution models for complex initiatives with multiple teams, dependencies, and stakeholders
Build strong working partnerships across engineering, product, design, TPM, and business leadership to align scope, sequencing, and execution.
Drive clear communication and decision-making across cross-functional stakeholders, escalating issues at the right level and time
Build and maintain integrated program plans, milestones, and dependency maps that connect technical delivery to product and launch outcomes.
Manage overarching risks by leading both tactical, cross-functional discussions that lead to mitigations, as well as up leveled leadership discussions to enable appropriate decision making in order to activate mitigation plans.
Drive executive communication through concise, decision-ready updates on program health, risks, trade-offs, and delivery confidence.
Lead large forums of cross-functional technical team leads to continuously provide clarity and communications of strategic, tactical, and process changes, and generally facilitate continuous alignment in a fast paced environment.
Shape and improve execution frameworks, governance models, and ways of working that increase predictability and transparency across the organization
Work closely with engineering teams to ensure clarification of work priorities, backlog and schedule management.
Cultivate a culture that rewards aggressive pursuit of innovative solutions to problems
Create feature-specific engineering teams when required to ensure priority initiatives are completed.
Drive cross-team release readiness and launch orchestration, ensuring alignment on dependencies, operational readiness, and go-live criteria

What you’ll need:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent practical experience
10+ years leading complex, cross-organizational technical programs across backend services and consumer-facing applications
Proven experience driving delivery across distributed systems and multiple client platforms, ideally including mobile, 10-foot / connected TV, web, and voice or speaker experiences
Strong architectural literacy and ability to engage credibly in technical trade-off, sequencing, and dependency discussions
Demonstrated success leading high-visibility, ambiguous initiatives and influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority
Experience defining operating rhythms, governance models, and execution frameworks at organizational scale
Excellent communication skills, including executive-level storytelling, risk framing, and decision support
Ability to operate as a senior individual contributor who leads through influence, structure, and strong cross-functional relationships
Experience working across Agile and other software delivery methodologies
