    Job Description

    Overview:

    The Technical Program Manager (TPM) is the single accountable owner for delivering Kastle’s enterprise-platform programs and the complex, cross-functional technology work that runs alongside them. Reporting to the CIO, the TPM drives one unified plan, sequence, and cadence across every functional owner and implementation partner touching a program — from the ERP, CRM, CPQ, and HRIS rollouts through client integration deliveries.

    Kastle’s Enterprise Technology Team is entering a concentrated window of platform work: a net-new ERP implementation, a CRM moving from selection into build, a live CPQ migration, and an HRIS improvement program. These programs have overlapping timelines, external implementation partners, and shared dependencies. The TPM is engaged at kickoff on any program that clears a defined complexity bar and stays accountable through go-live and into steady-state updates.

    Responsibilities:

    Platform

    Scope of the work

    ERP

    Net-new implementation with an external partner; migration off legacy financial systems; phased rollout across finance and operations.

    CRM

    Selection in final stages, moving directly into a net-new build and rollout; feeds downstream systems including CPQ.

    CPQ

    Live migration off the legacy platform (Expert Logic to Logik); parity work, experience enhancements, and Sales acceptance.

    HRIS

    Deployment of improvements and ongoing configuration and release management on the existing platform.

     

     

     

    Qualifications:

    These programs already intersect. For example, CPQ enhancement items are on hold pending CRM field definitions that the CRM program has not yet finalized. The TPM is the person who sequences dependencies like this deliberately, so they are planned rather than discovered late.

    Key Responsibilities

    Enterprise platform delivery

    • Own deployment, configuration, and ongoing updates across the enterprise platforms: ERP, CRM, CPQ, and HRIS, from kickoff through go-live and into steady-state release management.
    • Maintain a unified cross-program plan and manage dependencies between platforms (for example, CPQ enhancements that depend on CRM field definitions) so they are sequenced deliberately.
    • Coordinate external implementation partners and internal functional owners to a single plan, status, and risk view per program.
    • Run recurring cross-functional status reviews across every owner on a given program, including vendors and partners.

    Client integration delivery

    • Own an end-to-end plan across client integration delivery — install, integration, hardware, onboarding, and access — with a single point of accountability across workstreams.
    • Validate access as its own workstream and confirm delivery-method and migration assumptions (for example, full export versus incremental) before they become execution risk.
    • Ensure source data and credential requirements are gathered before kickoff, working from the scoping and requirements handed off by the paired Solutions Engineer function.

    Governance and risk

    • Operationalize governance once adopted: run RACI, rollback runbooks, and the Integration Review Board gate as live delivery mechanisms rather than paper artifacts.
    • Provide executive-ready reporting: one authoritative status, risk, and dependency view per owned program, communicated directly to executive stakeholders and the CIO.
    Other Eligibility Requirements:

    Required Qualifications

    • 5+ years of technical program or project management delivering complex, cross-functional technology programs with multiple functional owners and external partners.
    • Demonstrated experience owning enterprise software implementations end to end — one or more of ERP, CRM, HRIS, or CPQ — including partner management, configuration, data migration, and phased rollout.
    • Track record as a single accountable owner sequencing dependencies across concurrent programs.
    • Fluency with integration and identity/access concepts (provisioning, SCIM/Entra, data reconciliation) sufficient to challenge delivery-method, migration, and access assumptions early.
    • Experience standing up and running delivery governance: RACI, status cadences, review/gate mechanisms, and rollback planning.
    • Strong written and verbal communication; comfortable driving reviews and reporting status directly to executive stakeholders.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program-management credential.
    • Direct experience implementing one or more of the platform categories on Kastle’s roadmap (ERP, CRM, CPQ, HRIS).
    • Experience in physical security, IoT, hardware-plus-software, or managed-services delivery environments.
    • Prior experience coordinating platform migrations and large data migrations across vendors.

     

     

    First-90-Day Success Measures

    • A named TPM is engaged on each in-flight enterprise-platform program that meets the complexity bar.
    • A single cross-program plan exists, with dependencies between ERP, CRM, CPQ, and HRIS made explicit and sequenced.
    • One authoritative status, risk, and dependency view exists for each owned program.
    • RACI, rollback runbooks, and the Integration Review Board gate are operating on active programs where they have been adopted.

    Scope Boundaries

    The TPM coordinates and operationalizes across enterprise rollouts and client delivery. The following sit outside this role:

    • Source-system data quality, whether the source is a client system or an internal one.
    • Creating governance frameworks from nothing; these require organizational sign-off first.
    • Vendor selection decisions themselves (for example, the CRM platform choice).
    • Pre-kickoff scoping and requirements gathering, which belongs to the paired Solutions Engineer function.

    Key Working Relationships

    • Chief Information Officer: direct manager; primary executive sponsor and escalation point.
    • Enterprise Technology Team: director and engineers supporting the platforms and integrations.
    • Functional owners: Finance, Operations, Sales, Service, and HR leaders for each platform program.
    • External partners: software vendors and implementation partners for ERP, CRM, CPQ, and HRIS.
    • Solutions Engineer function: upstream scoping and requirements counterpart on client deliveries.
