Senior Program Manager

Gogoro
Full-time
Aug 2021 - Present
As a senior program manager, I help turn ideas into products by analyzing complex business requirements, prioritizing tasks, designing wireframes and system flows, and coordinating internal sources. By collaborating with other teams, including engineering, UI designers, Sales, and Customer Services, I actively look for the best solution and drive the product roadmap to accomplish our business goals while communicating progress to all stakeholders, ensuring everybody is kept up to date with the latest status of the development. I also arrange interviews with business units to study their requirements and collect key statistics and relevant information to help directors make the right business decisions. I also break down complicated problems into actionable tasks and ensure that they are completed on schedule. Accomplishments include: - Managed the partner engagement platform which allows all Gogoro’s partners to create purchase orders, file warranty claims, open support tickets, etc. - Collaborated with other teams to build a FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air) platform that enables the operation team to better manage firmware upgrades of Gogoro scooters, battery exchange stations and batteries. - Managed Gogoro’s billing system which handles the monthly bills and payments of all Gogoro scooter subscribers as well as enterprise customers.
