Supabase is designed to be highly portable, extendable, and user-friendly, making it a powerful choice for startups and enterprises looking to innovate quickly and efficiently.

📋 Description

• Stand up the TPM function at Supabase. Define the operating model, the engagement model within product, eng and design, the standards we hold ourselves to, and the bar for the role. Hire and grow the team over time. • Manage the senior IC TPM and grow the team as the function proves out. Coach, set direction, hold the standard, and protect the team from drift into status-collection or hygiene-on-behalf-of-teams. • Own the cross-functional interface fabric between EPD and the rest of the company — named seams between Engineering and Customer Success, Support, GTM, PMM, with DRIs on each side, hand-off contracts, SLAs, and escalation paths. This is the unowned gap in the company today and your highest-leverage area in the first year. • Author the company standard for project management in Linear, and pair synchronously with EMs and program leads on key cross-functional projects to make sure they get broken down against the standard. The standard covers project structure, tagging and labeling, milestone conventions, issue breakdown patterns, and the leadership views we use to read program state. You are accountable for the outcome of that standard in Linear at the company level. • Hold the line on accountability. EMs are accountable for delivery and for the project management discipline on their teams. Your team authors the standard and supports synchronously. You do not let the TPM function drift into doing hygiene work on behalf of teams; that failure mode is the explicit antipattern we're hiring against. • Own the dependency graph and launch readiness for our largest cross-functional programs — multi-team launches, major customer migrations, and platform initiatives that span 3+ engineering teams and downstream functions. • Operate the program-level rollup infrastructure that makes program state legible to leadership without adding load on teams. Status is written by EMs. Your function builds the connective infrastructure. • Partner across EPD with the heads of Engineering, Product, and Design on a single shared system for how we run work end-to-end, and reinforce the artifact discipline of our delivery operating model.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 10+ years of experience in technical program management, including experience standing up or scaling a TPM function in a high-growth software company • Have managed a team of senior IC TPMs and held the bar for the function • Have strong technical fluency: you read code well enough to find the real risk in a plan, and you hold your own with senior engineers on architecture and dependencies • Have built cross-functional interfaces between engineering and the field (Customer Success, Support, GTM, PMM) that held under launch pressure • Have operated Linear, Jira, or equivalent at scale, including defining the standard that many teams run on • Have a clear point of view on the difference between TPM and PMO, and on why hygiene-on-behalf-of-teams is a failure mode • Are comfortable working with Engineering Managers as the accountable owners on each team • Communicate with precision in writing and async, in a globally distributed team • Have high judgment and can hold a position without positional authority.
