Job Summary

Trusted by 200000 organizations Sentry is todays application monitoring standard and our team is building its AI-native future.
About the Role
Shipping great software is only half the battle. Getting it to the right customers at the right time in the right way is where the real complexity lives.
Were looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own the end of the EPD pipeline: the moment a feature is built to the moment its successfully in customers hands. This person will define what good looks like for product launches at Sentry building the frameworks playbooks and operating rhythms that make every release more intentional more coordinated and more confident than the last.
The foundation is there. Features ship. But the connective tissue between Engineering Product Legal Marketing go-to-market (GTM) and Sales needs someone who can see the whole system diagnose whats broken and build something durable. Thats this role.
If youre energized by ambiguity love designing operating models and want real ownership over a function that touches every team in the company this is a rare opportunity to define the craft at a company that takes software quality seriously.
What Youll Do
Define the Launch Standard: Establish what a great product launch looks like at Sentry: the gates the playbooks the decision rights and the rituals. Youre not inheriting a fixed process; youre authoring it.
Own Feature Flag & Cohort Strategy: Bring intentionality to how Sentry uses early access programs beta cohorts and staged rollouts. Make sure the right customers get the right features at the right time and that were learning from every rollout.
Orchestrate Cross-Functional Readiness: Be the central coordinator who ensures Engineering Product Legal Marketing GTM and Sales are all aligned and ready before anything ships. Surface dependencies early drive decisions and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Keep Everyone Informed and Confident: Build the visibility layer (dashboards launch briefs status updates) that keeps stakeholders informed without overwhelming them. High-signal low-noise.
Improve with Every Launch: Instrument the release process itself. Track friction run retrospectives and lead the org through continuous improvements so each launch is smoother than the last.
Youll Love This Role If You...

What Were Looking For
58 years of Technical Program Management experience in a high-growth SaaS company with meaningful exposure to product launches release operations or GTM coordination
A genuine builder mindset: you have examples of processes or frameworks you created from scratch (or close to it) that stuck
Strong data and analytics instincts: you use metrics to understand release health customer adoption and process quality not just to report status
Proven ability to drive alignment and decisions across Engineering Product Legal Marketing GTM and Sales without direct authority
