Technical Program Manager, Monetization
Snap, Santa Monica - 3100 Ocean Park Blvd +3
The role
At Snap, the Technical Program Manager (TPM) is not a traditional project coordinator—this is a strategic, high-leverage leadership role designed for deep technical operators who thrive at the intersection of software engineering, data analytics, and program execution. TPMs at Snap are single-threaded owners of large-scale, high-stakes, and often ambiguous programs. They combine engineering depth with execution precision, earning visibility and trust across the company by driving outcomes that power the core of our products and infrastructure.
Unlike industry-standard TPM roles, Snap TPMs are hands-on contributors who write Python notebooks, build dashboards and automation tools, and partner closely with engineering leaders to shape technical roadmaps, make architectural trade-offs, and drive the operating rhythm of the business. The most successful TPMs possess the ability to grasp new concepts quickly, navigate technical complexity, and adapt in fast-moving environments. This role is ideal for former engineers or data scientists who have evolved into program leaders without leaving their technical roots behind.
