Tell us about your role at AuditBoard!

Holly: As a Senior Technical Program Manager, I help drive alignment and execution across teams to deliver on high-impact initiatives. A recent key focus area that has been a lot of fun has been establishing and scaling a release management process that streamlines how teams plan, coordinate, and communicate the release of new products and functionality, resulting in increased customer satisfaction! I am super proud to be part of our PED Operations team, where we work to connect and align teams across the organization. Through process improvements, strategic planning, and cross-team coordination, we provide the support needed to deliver high-quality products at scale.

What is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned at AuditBoard?

Holly: I’ve had the opportunity to technical program manage AuditBoard’s accessibility program, where I’ve learned that compliance with WCAG (web content accessibility guidelines) standards is just the starting point, and that there is no finish line when it comes to ensuring that our products are accessible to ALL of our users. Digital accessibility is a journey that includes designing and building with empathy, always keeping user needs and expectations at the heart of everything we do.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

Holly: The most rewarding part of my role at AuditBoard is getting to work with incredibly talented, top-notch colleagues! Collaborating with people who bring a vast amount of expertise, lots of customer empathy, and are always passionate about the work they do is exciting and rewarding. I love being part of a team that consistently pushes and supports each other.

How has AuditBoard helped you in your career development?

Holly: Working at AuditBoard has been a big driver of my career growth, largely because of the cross-team collaboration. Partnering with people across product, engineering, and design, as well as across the organization, has exposed me to new perspectives, tools, and ways of working. AuditBoard provides a culture of continuous learning that not only supports my career development but also makes me a better person overall.

What advice would you give someone interested in a career in your field?

Holly: My advice to someone interested in TPM work is to always be curious and adaptable and to learn where your passion lies. Connect with people doing the work you are interested in learning, ask questions, and get comfortable with ambiguity. Being a TPM at AuditBoard has been one of the more challenging, yet most rewarding, experiences I’ve had throughout my career journey to date.
