Tarek A.
Fractional Technical Program Manager | Ex-Nike Director, Program Mgmt
I help product and engineering teams ship complex, cross-team work on time, without adding process for its own sake. I was Director of Program Management at Nike, and most recently led delivery of a couple of programs at Stand Together, coordinating product, engineering and operations with no shared process in place. What I bring: - Delivery leadership: roadmaps, dependencies, risks and launch plans that teams actually follow - Setting up the operating rhythm: meeting cadence, Jira/Confluence structure and clear owners for new or messy initiatives - AI-assisted program work: I built a Confluence workflow that product leads now use for planning and documentation Good fit if you: - have a launch or initiative slipping across several teams - need a senior TPM or program lead for a few months, part-time - are a SaaS company between 20 and 500 people without a PMO I work remotely from Spain, with overlap for US mornings. Send me a message with what’s stuck, and I’ll tell you how I’d approach it.
