Program Manager

The Program Manager will own the program management of product development activities – from ideation through go-to-market – for an assigned portfolio, partnering closely with portfolio product leaders within the CTO's organization. This is a build role focused on designing, implementing, and iterating program management processes for a spec-driven and AI-first product development organization.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate the spec-driven product launch process end-to-end – from ideation to delivery – for a product portfolio area.
• Build and continuously surface efficiencies to the process itself as you run it.
• Manage multiple concurrent workstreams across different stakeholders and stages simultaneously, keeping each moving without waiting for perfect alignment.
• Set timelines, hold cross-functional partners accountable, and communicate product readiness to leadership, including pushing back on scope creep or slipping deadlines.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (subject matter experts, UX, Engineering, Enablement, Legal, and Marketing) to drive decisions rather than just coordinate meetings.
• Develop first-draft materials for product enablement and marketing using directional input.
• Act as a proxy for Product Managers, representing their priorities and making decisions in their absence.

Requirements

• BA or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years in program or project management, ideally having built or significantly matured a process rather than only operating within an existing one.
• Demonstrated ability to manage several concurrent, cross-stage workstreams without losing precision.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity – able to make reasonable calls with incomplete information and produce concrete outputs for feedback.
• Track record of driving timelines and holding stakeholders accountable.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with aptitude for leveraging cutting-edge technologies (including AI tools) to drive efficiencies.
• Outstanding oral and written communication skills, including comfort presenting to executive audiences.
• Exceptional attention to detail and ability to identify and correct errors.
• Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively in a hybrid work environment.
