The Technical Program Manager (TPM), Mobile Features is responsible for driving execution, delivery, and delivery confidence for mobile feature teams across iOS and Android. This role sits within PTD (Product, Technology, Design) and serves as the program lead for multiple mobile feature teams aligned to a mission or goal area.

This role owns what ships and why on mobile, translating product goals into coordinated, cross-platform execution. They may work with multiple pods to coordinate dependencies across mobile pods, or with teams outside of the mobile team (e.g. Stellar, PSDK, platforms) It does not own mobile platform infrastructure or long-term technical strategy.

• iOS and Android feature development
• Cross-functional collaboration with Product and Design

• Own the mobile platform roadmap or infrastructure
