• Align on scope, sequencing dependencies, managing risk, and ensuring no one is caught off-guard at handoffs or milestones
• Drive internal cross-functional programs — model lifecycle management, security and compliance buildouts, external certifications — from kickoff through completion, aligning stakeholders and holding workstreams accountable without direct authority over executing teams

Requirements

• 4-6+ years of experience as a technical program manager or in product/engineering operations, with direct ownership of either complex enterprise deployments or large-scale internal cross-functional initiatives
• Track record running high-stakes customer implementations or feature builds at the design-partner or strategic-deal tier, where scope is ambiguous, requirements evolve mid-build, and the customer's success is tied directly to yours
• Demonstrated ability to drive programs without authority — an outcome-oriented but collaborative approach that unites teams around shared milestones and holds the work accountable end-to-end with influence
• Structured, rigorous approach to ambiguity — able to define program scope, sequence dependencies, surface blockers early, and keep multiple concurrent workstreams moving without losing resolution
• Enough technical fluency to engage credibly with engineering teams — able to ask the right questions, pressure-test tradeoffs, and translate between technical and business contexts without going deep on implementation
• Exceptional written and verbal communicator — able to calibrate depth, format, and framing for customers, engineering leads, executive sponsors, and external partners alike

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with LLMs or conversational AI — you've shipped something with these systems, whether in a professional or personal context
• A track record of moving programs through legal, security, engineering, and customer approval gates — able to anticipate friction points and keep timelines intact

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to manage dependencies across parallel workstreams
