Job description

Technical Program Manager

Department Overview : The Solution Engineering department enables the business through technology by building custom software, automations, and tools. Our in-house annuity administration system supports the full lifecycle of annuity policies and continues to evolve through new projects and improvements. The department is made up of architects, engineers, test engineers, automation specialists, and technical program managers who collaborate to deliver reliable, scalable solutions.

Solution Engineering teams work across two primary workflows :

  • Project Workflows – building new features, enhancements, and long-term system improvements.
  • Sustained Engineering Workflow – managing the operational side, including bugs, security vulnerabilities, business and technical requests, and overall system stability.

This role is dedicated to leading the Sustained Engineering workflow .

Job Overview : As a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) – Sustained Engineering, you will manage the operational workflow that keeps SILAC's annuity systems stable, secure, and responsive to business needs. You will oversee intake and prioritization of tickets, coordinate with technical and business stakeholders, and ensure timely, high-quality resolutions.

Success in this role requires balancing business priorities with technical realities, keeping a steady focus on operational stability. Metrics and reporting will support your decisions and provide visibility into progress and team health, but your role also depends on context, collaboration, and sound judgment.
