[Remote] Technical Program Manager - AI & Data Systems

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Abnormal AI is hiring a Technical Program Manager to lead delivery of high-impact programs across their AI Platform and Data Systems teams. The role involves owning strategic initiatives, defining processes, and ensuring stakeholder alignment while managing complex technical projects.

Responsibilities

• Own program delivery for high-impact AI Platform and Data Systems initiatives, from initiation through completion — including scope definition, milestone planning, dependency and escalation management, and stakeholder alignment
• Translate ambiguous mandates from IT leadership into structured, trackable programs with clear owners and success criteria
• Serve as the coordination layer for high-impact, cross-functional programs — working in lockstep with engineering leaders and teams, ensuring dependencies are visible and delivery stays on track
• Maintain executive-ready status reporting for AI Data Systems leadership and C-level stakeholders, ensuring no surprises and consistent confidence in program and portfolio health
• Identify, escalate, and mitigate risks across programs before they impact delivery timelines or stakeholder trust
• Partner with technical team-leads to understand delivery capacity, technical dependencies, and sequencing trade-offs
• Use AI tools in your own program execution — and build lightweight workflows, skills, or automations that make status reporting, risk tracking, and stakeholder updates faster and more reliable
• Support roadmap planning and resource forecasting at the program and portfolio level
• Drive retrospectives and continuous improvement practices, and contribute to building a high-performing, AI-native program management function within the CIO organization

Skills

• 3-4 years of program or project management experience leading complex, cross-functional technical initiatives — ideally in a high-growth SaaS or enterprise tech environment
• Demonstrated ability to take an early-stage idea — where the goal is clear but the path isn't — and build it into structured delivery with measurable outcomes
• Proven ability to move fast and drive velocity — keeping programs progressing through ambiguity and unknowns
• Track record of managing executive-level stakeholder relationships, including C-level communication, with poise and precision
• Strong experience working alongside technical team leads in AI, engineering, data, or platform contexts — you can follow the technical conversation, ask the right questions, and push back when sequencing or assumptions need challenging
• Familiarity with AI tools and an automation instinct — you naturally ask 'how can I use AI to do this?' and have applied it to improve how you work, whether personally or professionally
• Excellent command of project tracking and program management tools (Linear, Jira, ServiceNow, Asana, or equivalent)
• Exceptional communicator across technical and non-technical audiences — written updates, verbal alignment, and executive readouts are all in your wheelhouse
• Demonstrated ability to drive accountability and alignment across teams without formal authority
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Information Technology, Business Administration, Information Security or a related field
• Hands-on experience using agentic AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cowork, or similar) to build skills, automations, or multi-step workflows — not just to use AI passively
• Familiarity with AI/ML platform delivery, data engineering workflows, data warehousing, or MLOps practices
• PMP, CSM, or SAFe certification
• Experience at a high-growth cybersecurity or SaaS company
• Experience in a remote-first, distributed team environment
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and how it intersects with data and AI platform programs
• Experience with Agile/Scrum ceremonies and sprint-level delivery in addition to program-level ownership

Benefits

• Bonus or incentive compensation
• Equity
• A comprehensive benefits package
