You will define how programs run at scale-introducing modern, technology-based (agentic) workflows, improving visibility and decision-making, and enabling teams to move faster with clarity and accountability. This is a high-impact role with influence across both Physical AI and Generative AI domains.

What you'll be doing:
  • Lead, mentor, and scale a high-performing TPM team; set expectations for ownership, velocity, and proactive execution.
  • Define and lead the implementation approach across a large engineering organization spanning multiple products and platforms.
  • Partner closely with engineering, product, and collaborators to align priorities and ensure successful delivery.
  • Build deep domain understanding of technologies and products; influence both technical direction and business outcomes.
  • Establish real-time, automated program visibility through dashboards powered by agentic workflows; ensure clear communication of status, risks, and dependencies.
  • Redefine TPM practices for the AI era: shift from manual tracking to automation, from reporting to decision enablement, and from coordination to execution leverage.
  • Develop and implement scalable program management frameworks that support rapid growth and growing technical complexity.
  • Define and track metrics and benchmarks to continuously improve execution quality, predictability, and efficiency.
  • Drive a culture of urgency, ownership, and continuous improvement across teams.


What we need to see:
  • 12+ overall years of experience, including 8+ years in technical leadership or TPM roles.
  • Bachelor's or higher degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
  • Verified experience in forming and advancing TPM organizations across broad, matrixed frameworks.
  • Strong understanding of software development processes and the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously.
  • Ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels, aligning collaborators and driving execution.
  • Demonstrated strength in risk management, problem-solving, and decision-making under ambiguity.
  • Excellent communication skills with a focus on transparency and clarity across complex organizations.
  • Experience leading Agile practices in large-scale software environments.
  • Hands-on experience with AI-powered developer tools or coding agents.


Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Background in AI/ML systems, deep learning, or large-scale data-driven products.
  • Familiarity with the AI model lifecycle, including training, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
  • Ability to contribute technically when needed, especially in Generative or Physical AI domains.
  • Experience transforming program management through automation or technology-enhanced workflows.
  • History of delivering large, complex programs with measurable business impact.
