Technical Program Manager – AI & Data Systems

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take charge of program delivery for significant AI Platform and Data Systems projects, overseeing everything from initiation to completion — encompassing scope definition, milestone planning, dependency management, escalation handling, and stakeholder alignment.

• Convert vague directives from IT leadership into organized, trackable programs with defined owners and success criteria.

• Act as the coordination hub for impactful, cross-functional programs — collaborating closely with engineering leaders and teams to ensure visibility of dependencies and maintain delivery timelines.

• Prepare executive-level status reports for AI Data Systems leadership and C-suite stakeholders, guaranteeing transparency and ongoing confidence in program and portfolio health.

• Recognize, escalate, and mitigate risks across programs proactively before they affect delivery schedules or stakeholder trust.

• Collaborate with technical team leads to grasp delivery capacity, technical dependencies, and sequencing trade-offs.

• Leverage AI tools in your program execution — creating streamlined workflows, skills, or automations that enhance the speed and reliability of status reporting, risk tracking, and stakeholder communications.

• Assist in roadmap planning and resource forecasting at both the program and portfolio levels.

• Facilitate retrospectives and continuous improvement initiatives, playing a key role in developing a high-performing, AI-native program management function within the CIO organization.

⛳️ Requirements

• 3-4 years of experience in program or project management, leading complex, cross-functional technical projects — preferably within a high-growth SaaS or enterprise technology environment.

• Proven ability to transform an early-stage concept — where objectives are clear but the pathway is not — into structured delivery with measurable results.

• Demonstrated capacity to maintain momentum and drive progress — ensuring programs advance amidst ambiguity and uncertainty.

• Established history of managing relationships with executive-level stakeholders, including C-suite communication, with professionalism and accuracy.

• Solid experience collaborating with technical team leads in AI, engineering, data, or platform environments — able to engage in technical discussions, ask pertinent questions, and challenge sequencing or assumptions as necessary.

• Familiarity with AI tools and a penchant for automation — you instinctively inquire, "how can I utilize AI for this?" and have implemented it to enhance your work, both personally and professionally.

• Proficient in project tracking and program management tools (Linear, Jira, ServiceNow, Asana, or similar).

• Outstanding communicator for both technical and non-technical audiences — adept at written updates, verbal alignment, and executive presentations.

• Proven track record of fostering accountability and alignment across teams without formal authority.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Business Administration, Information Security, or a related field.

🏝️ Benefits

• Actual compensation will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location.

• In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for bonus or incentive compensation, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package.
