What is The Role The Practice Development team is the engineering engine behind Elastic Services. We build the mechanisms, technical assets, packaged offerings, and tools that empower our sellers & consultants to deliver consistent, high-value outcomes for customers worldwide. We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to serve as the operational heartbeat of our Practice Development function. You will not just track tasks; you will drive the adoption ecosystem. In this role, you will manage the lifecycle of our intellectual property—from the moment a consultant requests a new asset (Intake), through its creation (Prioritization & Development), to its rollout to the field (Communications & Change Management). Your ultimate goal is to ensure that our global team is using the best, most current standards to solve customer problems. We are not looking for a traditional project manager who primarily manages schedules and tickets. We are looking for a technical operator who can run our Practice Development engine like a software product team. What You Will Be Doing Program Management & Intake Optimization - Manage the Backlog: Own the intake process for new asset requests (e.g., migration scripts, architecture templates, delivery guides) coming from the field. - Prioritization: Facilitate prioritization frameworks (e.g., RICE, WSJF) to ensure the Practice Development engineers are working on the highest-impact initiatives. Use usage data (e.g., from GitHub traffic, internal portal downloads, or telemetry) to guide future investment. You will tell the story of where we should double down and what we should deprecate. - Technical Literacy: You don’t need to be a Principal Architect, but you must be fluent in the stack. You will be the first line of defense in evaluating "Field Intake" proposals—distinguishing between niche "one-off" ideas and scalable global assets. Change Management & Adoption - From "Built" to "Used": It is not enough to ship a tool; you must drive its usage. Design internal marketing and enablement campaigns to ensure our global teams are aware of and using new assets. - Feedback Loops: Create structural mechanisms to gather feedback from consultants on existing assets to drive continuous improvement. Community Building & Knowledge Sharing - Community Driver: Organize and energize our specialization Guilds (e.g., Observability, Security, Search, AI, Migration, Sales, Delivery). You will facilitate technical deep dives, ensure meetings have deep value (not just status checks), and drive Guild leaders to produce tangible outcomes. - Knowledge Harvesting: Identify "pockets of brilliance" in the field—custom solutions built by consultants—and program manage the process of turning them into official, supported global assets. - Silo-Busting: Facilitate collaboration and integration between the Services teams, Solutions Architects (Pre-sales), Customer Architects (Post-sales), and Product Engineering. Ensure that Practice Development is not building in a vacuum. Outbound Communications - The "Voice" of the Practice: Manage internal communications to the Global Services organization. This includes drafting newsletters, release notes for new assets, and hosting enablement calls. - Unified Standards: Work with Field Engineering leadership to ensure the assets we build are applicable and used across the entire field teams, not just for services team members. - Executive Reporting: Prepare and present in Business Reviews (QBRs/MBRs/WBRs) and executive dashboards that visualize the value of the Practice Development function to leadership Program Governance & Accountability - Define Success: Move beyond "vanity metrics" (e.g., "we built 5 tools"). You will define and track important metrics that prove business value, such as Time Saved per Engagement, Asset Utilization Rates, and Contribution to Margin. - Rigorous Execution: strict ownership of the project plan. You will run sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives with an engineering approach. You have the mandate to hold the team accountable for their deliverables. You will track action items and dependencies for everyone involved—including senior leadership—ensuring that critical initiatives do not stall due to lack of focus. What You Bring - Experience: 5+ years of experience as a Program Manager, Technical Project Manager, or Delivery Lead, ideally within a Professional Services, Consulting, or SaaS Customer Success environment. - The "Why" over the "What": You understand that processes are meant to serve people, not the other way around. You are skilled at Change Management (ADKAR or similar frameworks). - Communication Skills: You are an exceptional writer and presenter. You can distill complex technical updates into exciting, digestible communications that drive action. - Organization: Mastery of project management tools (Jira, Asana, Monday.com, GitHub Projects) and documentation platforms (Confluence, Google Workspace). - Technical Aptitude: While you don't need to be a developer, you must be comfortable working with highly technical engineers and understanding the lifecycle of software/script development. Bonus Points - Experience with the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch, Kibana, etc.). - PMP, CSM, or Change Management certifications. - Experience managing "InnerSource" or open-source community contributions.
