Job details
About this role
Role overview
Lead complex technical programs and operating changes across engineering, product, and other functions. This senior individual contributor role helps teams deliver more predictably by coordinating execution, measuring how work flows, and using evidence—including the effects of AI-assisted development—to recommend improvements. It influences outcomes through partnership and analysis rather than direct people management or ownership of engineering commitments.
Responsibilities
- Plan and guide cross-functional programs, aligning stakeholders on goals, dependencies, execution plans, and success measures. - Establish governance, operating rhythms, escalation paths, and accountability practices that improve delivery visibility and predictability. - Identify delivery bottlenecks, risks, and dependencies; make recovery plans visible and escalate unresolved issues. - Partner with engineering leaders to define delivery measures and build or improve dashboards covering areas such as cycle time, throughput, quality, rework, predictability, and operational effectiveness. - Assess how AI-assisted development affects speed, quality, and rework, then turn findings into practical leadership recommendations. - Improve engineering practices and operating models, and coach program managers and delivery leaders.
Requirements
- Experience leading operational improvement, process optimization, standardization, and organizational change across multiple teams. - Experience evaluating and rolling out AI-assisted development tools and measuring their effects. - Experience using AI or automation to support program tracking and reporting. - Ability to mentor program managers and coach delivery leaders. - Familiarity with tools such as Aha, Azure DevOps, Jira, Databricks or SQL, and AI coding assistants.
Benefits and work setup
- The listing identifies the role as remote and limits it to people residing and authorized to work in the United States. - Benefits include healthcare, time off, retirement and well-being programs, professional development, tuition reimbursement, and incentive programs.
