Technical Program Manager - Hawkins Design System

Netflix is a leading entertainment company on a mission to entertain the world through innovative storytelling and technology. They are seeking a Technical Program Manager to drive large, cross-team programs across the Hawkins design system, ensuring effective collaboration between design and engineering teams for consumer-facing UI development.

Responsibilities:

• Drive large, cross-team programs across Hawkins ecosystem end-to-end: define scope, milestones, and sequencing; keep us honest on commitments; and adjust quickly as we learn
• Navigate technical and organizational complexity across design, client, and server engineering, ensuring the right people are in the room and decisions are pragmatic, not perfect
• Coordinate platform adoption across multiple client surfaces (TV, mobile, web)
• Bring clarity to ambiguity: create lightweight structure, clear communication, and simple mechanisms without over-engineering process or slowing teams down
• Build alignment and strong relationships with partners across Design Platform, Engineering, Experience Design, and Product Management
• Establish and manage the intake process from XFN partners?
• Surface and manage dependencies and risks so issues are addressed early and delivery stays on track

Requirements:

• 6-8+ years of technical program leadership, driving multi-team programs in large, complex engineering organizations, including significant experience on platform, framework, or client/UI engineering programs
• Able to engage on technical trade-offs without writing code, and communicate naturally across audiences from ICs to senior leadership in Engineering, Design and Product
• Experience with client/UI engineering, design systems, or platform/framework development, and a strong feel for developer and designer experience
• Equally comfortable getting into technical details and setting direction within your area; clear-eyed about what the moment calls for, and skilled at driving accountability through clarity and relationships rather than process or reporting structure
• Takes full ownership of outcomes and relentlessly drives execution, even when faced with ambiguity or cross-functional friction
• Experience leveraging GenAI tools to scale your impact, and a genuine curiosity about how these tools are reshaping the way technical programs run
• Familiarity with cross-platform delivery (TV, mobile, web) and design-to-code workflows
