THE POSITION
LendingTree is hiring a Senior Manager, Engineering Operations & PMO to lead the team of agile project managers/delivery leads who support our engineering organization and own the operating rhythm that keeps the organization aligned and delivering predictably.
This highly cross-functional role blends people leadership, program management, and organizational operations.

You’ll also help drive organizational engagement, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement across Technology.
Success in this role requires strong relationship-building, sound judgment, and the ability to turn complex or scattered inputs into clear priorities, decisions, and actions.

- Own the engineering organization’s delivery planning and governance rhythm, including monthly goal-setting, delivery reviews, predictability tracking, and stakeholder communication.
- Lead recurring prioritization processes with senior technology and business leaders, maintaining clear organizational priorities and surfacing capacity constraints, dependencies, and trade-offs.
- Synthesize delivery performance, team-health insights, and feedback into clear actions and escalations, partnering with technical leaders to address risks and improve team effectiveness.
- Identify gaps and recurring pain points in engineering delivery and operating processes, and lead cross-functional improvements that make the organization more effective and easier to work within.
- Build strong relationships across Technology, Product, Program Management, Analytics, Finance, and other business functions to improve alignment, prioritization, and execution.
- Manage relationships with staffing and contracting partners, maintaining visibility into contractor capacity, allocation, and contributions across the organization.
- Drive technology-wide engagement and knowledge-sharing programs, including technical deep dives, AI-enablement sessions, and quarterly technology showcases.
- Support long-term initiative planning and prioritization, including advocating for technology investments that improve efficiency, automation, and engineering capacity.
- Partner with Finance on technology budget management and provide support for software capitalization processes.
- Maintain a strong understanding of how engineering operating processes work day to day and how they impact partner teams, using those insights to continuously improve how the organization operates.
QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering operations, or a related role, including experience leading project managers, delivery leads, or similar teams.
- Proven experience building and leading delivery governance, planning, and prioritization processes for a multi-team engineering organization.
- Strong people leadership skills with a track record of coaching, developing, and enabling high-performing teams.
- Exceptional facilitation and cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to drive alignment and decisions among senior engineering, product, business, and finance stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to use delivery data, team feedback, and organizational signals to identify risks, surface trade-offs, and make actionable recommendations to leadership.
- Track record of identifying and driving organization-wide process improvements in a fast-moving technology environment.
- Experience managing external vendors, contractors, or staffing partners.
- Experience with agile/scrum delivery frameworks and program management tools such as Jira or Asana preferred.
- Familiarity with technology budgeting, software capitalization, or similar financial planning processes preferred.
- Experience in fintech, lending, insurance, or another regulated financial services environment preferred.
