Technical Program Manager - Algorithmic Energy Trading

Intro

Are you excited about bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to a fast-growing tech organization? Join us at suena energy as Technical Program Manager (f/m/x) and become the key connector between Product, Tech Leads, and stakeholders across the company. Take ownership of execution and delivery, help translate priorities into realistic plans, and make sure critical work moves forward with the right focus and alignment.

suena energy is a green tech startup specializing in algorithmic energy trading for energy storage systems and renewable energies.

Our vision: a world where clean energy powers society reliably, economically, and intelligently. With our AI-based optimization and trading software, we maximize the revenues of operators of large-scale energy storage and renewable assets on short-term electricity and balancing markets – while simultaneously minimizing their risks.

Your team: You’ll join our Tech org and work closely with Product and Tech Leads across the company. You’ll be a central partner in coordinating execution, aligning priorities, and reducing overhead for the teams delivering our product.

We’re a 50+ person team that’s fast-paced by nature, but the kind of place where people actually look out for each other. Following our successful Series A, we’re investing in strengthening our Tech organization – and we’re excited to bring in someone who can help us scale delivery and collaboration as we continue growing.

• You act as the central coordination layer between Product, Tech, and Quant Trading, - establishing clear alignment and making sure technical requests, dependencies, and deliveries run smoothly without getting lost in the shuffle.
• You translate Product, Commercial, and Trading requirements into actionable technical delivery plans, breaking down complex scope alongside Tech Leads.
• You own project timelines, proactively flag risks, and communicate transparently with stakeholders to maintain steady execution momentum across engineering.
• You serve as a strong counterpart to Product, asking the right questions, helping prioritize work effectively, and pushing back constructively when requests or timelines are unrealistic.
• You spot technical blockers and cross-team dependencies early, bringing the right engineers and teams together at the right time to resolve issues fast.
• You reduce organizational overhead for technical leadership, stepping in to optimize cross-team workflows, track delivery progress, and foster clear ownership.

• 5-7 years of experience in Technical Program Management, Technical Project Management, or a closely related role in a software or tech environment
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate complex, multi-team delivery with clarity and accountability
• Strong stakeholder management skills – comfortable working across engineering, product, and commercial contexts
• The confidence to say no, escalate early, and challenge timelines constructively
• Enough technical literacy to understand software development complexity and spot unrealistic assumptions – you don't need to code, but you need to know what hard looks like
• Proficiency in agile frameworks & tools (ideally Scrum & JIRA)
• A genuine drive to learn: our domain (energy markets, algorithmic trading, power systems) is complex, and you'll need to build fluency over time
• Highly organised, structured, and calm under pressure
• Fluent in English; German is a plus
• Experience in the energy sector or a related technical domain is a significant advantage
