We're hiring in Program Management too!

  • Artigo

In my earlier post on hiring, I mentioned that there were a couple of job positions that hadn't made it to the external job site yet.

Well, the position on Program Management has made it now!  [Link to apply (Job code: 211115)]

And the description:

Did you know that 32% of all software projects are cancelled, 60% are considered failures by the organizations that initiated them, and nine out of ten come in late? On March 17th 2006, Microsoft set out to fix this when it released Team Foundation Server (TFS) - the hub of the Visual Studio Team System.

With TFS, customers can manage all the artifacts of a software development project including the work items (bugs, features & scenarios), source code, automated builds, test cases & results, documents and reports in a fully integrated way. “Having better information is leading to better decisions. It is just a far more productive development environment”, noted one customer.

We are looking for a senior Program Manager who enjoys thinking broadly and will look across all the roles (Business Analyst, Architect, Developer, Tester and Project Manager) and various technologies (Office, Project Server, SQL Server, SharePoint and Microsoft Research) to build integrated solutions on top of the TFS platform.

In this role, you will be responsible for solving problems end-to-end, including the customer scenarios, the high-level architecture, the functional design and leading your feature crew to deliver software that addresses the customer need. We are looking to build solutions for:
· A project manager to plan and schedule an Agile project
· a team lead to understand what has changed in a project, perform an impact analysis and take the appropriate action
· A team member with a way to visualize the context of his or her work
· A business analyst to enter, manage requirements and trace requirements to tests
· A program manager to manage resources and work across multiple projects

If you like having a large sphere of influence and have a passion for building solutions that will bring teams together to deliver great software -- then this is an ideal role for you. A great performance in this role is a solid stepping stone to a Group Program Manager position.

You should have an established track record in customer-focused design that delivers a complete, easy-to-use solution for our customers. A minimum of 5 years of experience in program management is required.

Thanks,

-Siddharth
