Full Job Posting
Role overview
- As AI71 continues to grow and our Engineering and Product teams expand, Technical Program Management has become critical to ensuring we deliver on our product roadmap.
- This role sits inside the TPM team supporting ASK, our agentic platform that helps enterprises and governments search across their data, generate content, and orchestrate multi agent workflows across the tools their teams already use.
- The TPM team is intentionally lean and goes deep where it matters most. Every TPM carries two things at once: one or more teams they are embedded in, and one or more cross team initiatives they own end to end.
What you will do
- Execute: You make a difference every day inside the team you sit with, enhancing clarity, direction, and scope, and keeping all the parts together with the other roles around you: Product Managers, Tech Leads, Designers, Software Engineers, ML Engineers and DevOps.
- Influence: You own and drive at least one complex cross functional program end to end: the kind of initiative that touches multiple teams, spans Engineering, Product, and leadership, and would not happen without someone holding it together.
- Cultivate: You contribute to building the TPM function itself: facilitating retrospectives, shaping ways of working rituals, and bringing new ideas for how we operate as a team and how we represent what we do internally and externally.
Who you are
- You bring 5+ years of experience in Technical Program Management, Program Management, or an adjacent role where you have coordinated technical delivery in a fast paced environment.
- Engineering management, technical product management, or production related roles are also typical paths in, and we are open to a diversity of backgrounds.
- A background in engineering is highly valued. The position does not require coding yourself, but you should be able to read code and challenge a technical design.
- Resourcefulness: you like being dropped into a new context and figuring out your own way forward.
- Technical curiosity: you can dive into AI concepts and hold substantive discussions with engineers: critiquing designs, surfacing risks, asking the question that makes a tech lead pause.
- Ownership: you have a keen sense of ownership and can point to complex programs that would not have shipped without you.
- Soft power: you influence without authority, push back without making it personal, and stay credible with engineers, PMs, and leadership at the same time.
- Clarity: you connect the dots in ways others do not, especially around cross team dependencies and organizational bottlenecks.
The team
- As a team, we maintain a shared mission and a roadmap that evolves with the organization.
- We are open to different styles, and we rotate responsibilities and initiatives between us so everyone gets to stretch.
- We regularly discuss our challenges, sound new ideas off each other, and learn out loud.
- You will grow as an individual through a culture of ongoing feedback and the variety of contexts the role exposes you to.
