Full Job Description
About the Role

We are looking for a Senior TPM who thrives in ambiguity, builds the plan rather than inherits one, and understands that data programs are not just delivery work - they are the foundation that makes AI possible. You will own the roadmap across our AI / Data Platform and integration programs, and you will expand your scope as the org scales.

You have operated in environments where the process did not exist yet - and you built it. You do not wait for a fully-defined charter. You are energized by a flat org, a direct reporting line to leadership, and the expectation that you own outcomes end-to-end.
What You Will Own
Program Ownership & Delivery
  • Own and drive the roadmap across AI / Data Platform and Finance integration programs; expand scope as the business grows.
  • Take programs from zero to shipped - scoping, sequencing, dependency management, risk visibility, and retrospective.
  • Translate ambiguous business problems into structured, time-bound programs with clear milestones and decision points.
  • Run delivery end-to-end without needing a playbook handed to you. You write the playbook.
  • Hold engineering, product, and business teams accountable to commitments - without relying on hierarchy to do it.
AI-First Thinking
  • Understand how Data Platform programs create upstream capability for AI and ML - design with that lens from day one.
  • Own AI-specific program tracks: NLQ rollout, Bedrock integrations, model deployment pipelines, and data readiness for AI.
  • Partner with Data Engineering, Product, and Science teams to ensure programs are not just delivered but compound into AI readiness.
  • Push teams to think end-to-end: what does this program unlock downstream, and are we building toward that?
  • Represent the AI program portfolio to senior leadership with clarity on status, risks, and strategic trajectory.
Finance & Application Integrations
  • Own delivery of modernized integration programs - ensuring cross-application flows (ERP, CRM, supply chain) work reliably on a modern tech stack.
  • Drive the retirement of fragile legacy middleware and the adoption of event-driven, scalable integration patterns.
  • Partner with Finance, Operations, and Engineering to translate business process requirements into well-architected integration programs.
  • Ensure tax, order management, procurement, and revenue-impacting workflows have zero-tolerance reliability standards.
  • Define the integration roadmap in partnership with architects and engineering leads - own it, defend it, and ship it.
Leadership & Communication
  • Operate effectively in a flat org: influence without hierarchy, build alignment without bureaucracy.
  • Be the connective tissue across Engineering, Product, Finance, and Operations - translate technical complexity into business impact.
  • Identify cross-program risks before they become incidents. Escalate with a proposed solution, not just a flag.
Minimum Requirements
  • 5+ years of TPM experience with demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder programs.
  • Meaningful time at a mid-stage startup (Series A-D), or equivalent experience as a founder or early employee - you know what it means to build without a safety net.
  • Hands-on delivery across data infrastructure or data platform programs: pipelines, warehousing, ELT, real-time data flows.
  • Fluency in modern integration patterns - you can hold a substantive conversation with engineers about event-driven architecture, API design, and middleware retirement without needing a glossary.
  • Proven ability to build the roadmap, not inherit one. You have done this before and have the scars to show it.
  • Strong written and verbal communication - you can write a crisp exec update and a detailed program brief and know when each is appropriate.
Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Experience driving AI or ML programs: NLQ, model deployment pipelines, feature stores, or GenAI product integrations.
  • Familiarity with the 10x stack or equivalent: Snowflake, Airflow, Kafka, dbt, AWS, Oracle Fusion.
  • Background in life sciences, genomics, or regulated data environments.
  • Worked cross-functionally across Engineering, Product, Finance, and Operations simultaneously - not sequentially.
