As a Technical Program Manager , you will partner with our Frontier Agent Engineering teams on enterprise customer engagements — owning operational execution and delivery of our technical work by managing timelines, milestones, risks, and dependencies across technical deliverables. You will drive the strategic alignment and end-to-end execution of our most critical Enterprise initiatives. This is a high-leverage, technical leadership role where you will own program delivery from initial scoping to measurable, enterprise-wide adoption. You will serve as the core communication backbone and connective tissue between engineering, product, and executive leadership.
