Director, Technical Program Management

Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet—and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, San Antonio, Spokane, and remote locations. We’ve got a reputation for being a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington’s Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies. 

At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we’re committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people—and that starts with our employees.

Rover is looking for a Director of Technical Program Management to guide how complex technical work is planned, sequenced, and delivered as the company continues to evolve and invest across both existing and new product initiatives. As Rover’s systems and initiatives become more interconnected, this role focuses on building additional leverage—helping teams stay aligned, execution remain predictable, and outcomes remain strong.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who brings strong technical judgment, execution discipline, and systems thinking, combined with a player-coach mindset. The Director of TPM operates close to the work to influence decisions and outcomes, while also shaping how initiatives are structured, owned, and driven across the organization.

The role carries responsibility for leading and developing the TPM function at Rover—managing and coaching a small team of TPMs, setting clear expectations for effective program leadership, and establishing shared patterns and practices that strengthen execution consistency. Through a combination of hands-on engagement and organizational leadership, this role helps ensure complex initiatives are driven effectively and supported by durable execution practices.

Qualified candidates are comfortable operating in ambiguous, cross-functional environments, trusted by senior engineering and product leaders, and motivated by strengthening how complex technology organizations plan and execute work.

At Rover, we’re driven by seeing our people succeed and grow, while doing our jobs better than ever before. We believe the best business outcomes come from a diverse set of perspectives and we’re committed to promoting an inclusive, inventive, and fun environment with amazing employees. We welcome and encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply.
