About the team
Zillow’s People Technology organization builds and operates the platforms that power how Zillow employees work: Workday, ServiceNow, and the agentic AI layer connecting these systems to the surfaces employees use every day - Slack, Google Workspace, Zoom, and AI tools. The India engineering team owns this platform stack end to end: production access, change ownership, on-call rotation, and direct relationships with the business teams we support.
Zillow Group is a strategic, mission-driven organization focused on delivering exceptional experiences and measurable outcomes. Our work spans cross-functional partnership, scalable programs and operational excellence in support of Zillow’s mission. We bring deep experience working across diverse teams in a dynamic, high-growth environment, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution to drive meaningful business impact. We are seeking an experienced professional to support our workforce expansion in India.

About the role
As Sr. Technical Program Manager, you are the connective tissue of the PeopleTech delivery model. You own the sprint cadence, the handoff quality gate between Product and Engineering, and the cross-team coordination that keeps India-based engineering and US-based product and business partners in sync. You are a single, senior individual contributor - not a team of TPMs - which means you need to be decisive, organized, and confident operating across time zones without a lot of structural backup.
You will work directly with the Product Managers (US-based) and the India Engineering team, and will be a key voice in how the model matures over time. This is a high-visibility role in a new operating model that is still being built; you will help define how it works, not just execute inside it.
Responsibilities
Responsibilities
•
Own sprint execution end to end: create and close sprints in Jira, run grooming and planning, lead standup, track capacity and velocity, and ensure all stories are estimated and complete before each sprint closes.
•
Serve as the handoff quality gate between Product and Engineering: review stories for build readiness before sprint commitment, flag ambiguity or missing technical context, and resolve open requirements questions in partnership with PM and Engineering before work begins.
•
Own the US-India coordination bridge: run a daily touchpoint with the PM to carry blocker and handoff status, facilitate the overlap-window ceremonies (grooming, sprint planning, sprint demo) where PM and Engineering both need to be present, and maintain async-first practices that keep live meeting load low.
•
Manage cross-team dependencies and risks: identify sequencing issues and resource constraints early, route blockers to the right owner (Engineering or PM), and escalate to leadership when something threatens delivery.
•
Coordinate Unit Test logistics: manage test resources, defect tracking, and the communication between Engineering and the PM during unit testing cycles.
•
Document the team’s operational model: post-launch on-call and support structure, escalation paths, and the handoff from project delivery into business-as-usual operations.
•
Drive continuous improvement: use retrospective findings to sharpen handoff processes, story quality, and sprint predictability over time; build and share repeatable practices that improve how the team works.
•
Apply AI tools to program work: status synthesis, risk and dependency tracking, meeting notes and follow-ups, draft communications - and help the broader team build that fluency.
This role has been categorized as an Office position. “Office” employees regularly work at the Zillow India office for approximately 80 to 100 percent of their time each month. Employees must live within a reasonable commuting distance of the office. Zillow has not defined a reasonable distance, and expects employees will use judgment in determining this for themselves and understand the implications re: time commitment and cost of daily commute.
