Senior Technical Program Manager, AI Execution Architecture

In this role, you will:

• Own program delivery end-to-end - Serve as a TPM for cross-functional programs, partnering closely with engineers, product managers, and leadership to drive day-to-day execution, ensuring release readiness through consistent application of milestones, dependency management, risk mitigation, and quality checkpoints as products and requirements evolve.

• Drive technical execution at scale - Operate across engineering and product teams to maintain integrated program plans, manage dependencies and resource tradeoffs, drive execution against milestones, and communicate progress, risks, and decisions to stakeholders and leadership. Establish and track success metrics for program health and efficiency, and ensure technical discussions result in clear actions, owners, and follow-through.

• AI-Augmenting - Apply AI to accelerate execution to use tools such as GitHub, GitHub Copilot, AI assistants, and low-code platforms to prototype solutions, automate workflows, and improve delivery outcomes. Operate with technical depth to understand system architecture, APIs, data flows, and integration patterns well enough to drive informed decisions and shape technical direction without owning production engineering.

• Build the playbook - This is an evolving discipline. You'll define processes, create frameworks, and establish program management infrastructure for AI-augmented delivery. Much of what you build will be first-of-its-kind.
