Job Description

Technical Program Manager leading AI and Data Systems programs at Abnormal AI. Driving project delivery and stakeholder alignment in a high-tech environment with complex initiatives.

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.

Requirements:

  • 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

Benefits:

  • Actual compensation will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location.
  • In addition to base salary, this role may be eligible for bonus or incentive compensation, equity, and a comprehensive benefits package.
