Role

Who you are

Experience: 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or Engineering Leadership, specifically within a product development environment
Domain Expertise: Proven track record in one or more of the following: Physical Security (VMS/ACS), IoT, Embedded Systems, Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/Azure), or AI/Video Analytics
Strategic Thinking: Experience working directly with executive-level leadership (VP/AVP level) to align engineering output with business goals
Execution Focus: Expert-level knowledge of SDLC and hardware development cycles. You know how to get things done in a fast-paced, global organization
Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa

What the job involves

We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our Video Security & Access Control (VS&A) Engineering organization
This is a high-impact role where you will drive the execution of complex, cross-functional programs that define the future of physical security—from AI-powered cameras to cloud-based access management systems
In this role, you will report directly to the AVP of Engineering, Video & Access Control, serving as a strategic partner to engineering leadership and a primary driver of technical delivery
As a Senior TPM, you are more than a project manager; you are a technical leader who understands the "how" as much as the "when."
You will navigate the intersection of hardware, firmware, cloud software, and AI analytics
You will be responsible for orchestrating the entire product development lifecycle, ensuring that our roadmap is translated into high-quality, scalable solutions that protect people and property worldwide
Program Lifecycle Management: Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex programs, managing dependencies across hardware, embedded software, cloud, and mobile teams
Strategic Alignment: Work closely with the AVP of Engineering and Product Management to translate business strategy into actionable technical milestones and execution plans
Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify technical bottlenecks, resource constraints, and cross-functional dependencies. Develop mitigation strategies to keep programs on track
Technical Problem Solving: Dive deep into architectural discussions and technical hurdles. Use your engineering background to help teams make trade-offs between scope, schedule, and technical debt
Stakeholder Communication: Provide transparent, data-driven updates to executive leadership. You will be the "single source of truth" for program health, budget, and timelines
Process Excellence: Continuously improve the VS&A engineering execution model, implementing best practices for Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid methodologies as needed

Our take

Motorola Solutions is a leading provider of communication and software solutions tailored for public safety and enterprise sectors. Its extensive portfolio includes mission-critical radios, command center software and video security systems designed to enhance operational efficiency and safety.

The company's focus extends beyond mere hardware, as it emphasises integrated software solutions that facilitate communication and data management. This integration of hardware and software ensures clients can respond promptly and effectively to challenges.

Looking ahead, the company is focusing on integrating AI into its platforms, as well as developing its partnership with FIFA for the 2026 World Cup.
