## Description

We're looking for a Technical Program Manager in the greater San Diego area (relocation offered) to own and drive complex programs for our maritime customers. You'll work side by side with Applied Intuition's subject matter experts and our defense customers to turn real operational pain points into shipped solutions. This is a high-ownership seat with direct customer exposure from day one, and you'll be backed by senior leaders who invest in your growth, sharing their experience in program strategy, customer engagement, and defense acquisition. If you are early in your career, with relevant TPM experience, you are urged to apply!

At Applied Intuition, you will:

 * Own programs end to end as the single point of contact, driving milestones, metrics, and final deliverables to successful completion
 * Build trusted relationships with customers, uncovering new pain points and opportunities for follow-on engagements
 * Be the voice of the customer internally, surfacing use cases and workflows our current products don't yet address
 * Scope timelines with customers and align resourcing to their needs and feedback
 * Lead pursuits from RFQ release through a detailed technical proposal, rallying experts across the company
 * Grow your scope and influence over time with mentorship from senior program and technical leaders
