Job Description

Twitch enables content creators to live-stream content to their communities across the globe. Partnerships is a core part of Twitch which acquires new content, retains strategic partner talent, and manages relationships with our top creators. Partnerships takes pride in developing an industry leading reputation for acquiring and growing creators’ careers.

As a Technical Program Manager, you will work with a talented team to create innovative ways to maintain high operational excellence by delivery of features from our Product/Salesforce roadmap.

In this role, you are comfortable interacting with all dimensions of the company, ranging from individual contributors to Senior VPs. You can quickly get up to speed on a technical challenge, bring the right pieces together, and make and execute a plan to defeat that challenge even if some of the people involved are outside of your own team or even outside the company. You own everything without doing all the work and know the danger in making assumptions. Your communication is accurate, efficient and concise. You understand and value the charter of our team, and strive to ensure all aspects of the team are running smoothly with consistent improvement to our KPIs.
