Technical Program Manager

About the role

As Technical Program Manage r, you are the single-threaded owner of execution for complex, cross-functional technical programs at AirAsia MOVE. You are the connective tissue between Engineering, Product, Design, Business, and Analytics - bringing structure, discipline, and visibility to the programs that matter most. You are not a coordinator. You are a technically fluent execution leader who understands how systems are built, where dependencies break down, and how to keep high-stakes programs moving with clarity and accountability. You thrive in complexity, operate with a bias for outcomes, and give leadership the confidence that what was committed will be delivered.

Responsibilities

• Technical Program Execution: Own end-to-end execution for assigned technical programs - maintaining a leadership-ready view of status, risks, dependencies, and timelines at all times. Ensure scope, milestones, and delivery commitments are clearly understood across all contributing teams.
• Complex Program Ownership: Lead programs with broad technical dependencies spanning multiple teams or functions. Own and maintain the program plan - including sequencing, critical paths, and dependency mapping. Run execution cadences including standups, syncs, and cross-team dependency reviews.
• Change & Priority Management: Own the change management system for all assigned programs. Clearly articulate the downstream impact of scope or priority changes on architecture, capacity, dependencies, and outcomes - enabling leadership to make informed, timely decisions.
• What You Need
• Experience: +7 years of driving execution across multi-team, cross-functional technology programs in a fast-paced digital or technology environment.
• Strong experience driving execution across multi-team, cross-functional technology programs.
• Deep understanding and experience with the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) best practices.
• Comfortable working with senior engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
• Ability to understand and guide teams on technical solutions and systems.
• Structured thinker with a bias for clarity, ownership, and outcomes.
• Able to balance rigor with pragmatism in fast-moving environments.
• Why Join AirAsia MOVE?
• Drive the core systems that power one of ASEAN's most ambitious travel platforms.
• Be part of a high-impact, engineering-led transformation with regional scale.
• Collaborate with top engineering leaders across backend, product, and DevOps.
• Enjoy high ownership, fast iteration cycles, and visibility across the org.
• Regional travel perks and access to diverse verticals within Capital A.
