As a Program Manager on the PDLC team, you will be one of the people who makes it real.\r\nThis is not a coordination role. You will not be tracking status and scheduling syncs. You will be embedded across engineering and product management teams as a practitioner, coach, and change agent helping teams not just follow the PDLC, but understand it, trust it, and work inside it naturally.\r\nYou will split your time between two things: operating the PDLC across active programs day-to-day, and helping build and improve the framework itself.
