Roughly half the role is release management across upcoming infotainment software releases, owning the metrics and the daily drumbeat that keep a release on schedule and escalating what needs a decision. The other half is hands-on technical program management for the cloud-gateway service on the vehicle software team, driving sprint execution and owning the roadmap and the interface agreements that connect the vehicle to the cloud.</p> <p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt;">This is a role for a TPM who is comfortable moving between executive-level reporting and day-to-day ticket-level execution in the same week.
