Full Job Description

Forcepoint is seeking an IT AI Technical Program Manager to join our Enterprise AI team within the Enterprise Systems and Technologies organization. This team builds and operates the Forcepoint Intelligence Platform, the internal AI platform delivering a portfolio of programs that automate revenue, finance, customer success, and IT workflows across the company. This role owns delivery of that portfolio and will be strategically important and highly visible with senior leadership.

The Technical Program Manager will run the delivery framework that carries each AI program through defined milestones, from requirements and architecture through development, staging, production deployment, and measured production adoption. You will coordinate engineers, platform administrators, and business stakeholders across multiple concurrent programs, keep milestone status accurate in Jira, surface risks and slips early, and produce the weekly and executive-level reporting that leadership uses to steer the portfolio. You will also maintain visibility into AI infrastructure spend so program value can be weighed against cost, and you will own launch enablement so business teams are trained and ready when each program reaches production. A successful candidate brings structure and pace to a fast-moving portfolio without slowing the builders down.
