Requirements

• 6+ years of technical program management
• 3+ years of experience leading technical programs within the Search and/or ML space
• Strong communication and influencing skills
• A team player mentality with the ability to work collaboratively across all levels of the organization
• Proactive and curious by nature. You are creative and enjoy taking unique approaches to solve problems
• Pragmatic; you take an iterative approach to developing processes and systems
• Technical depth and judgment

Responsibilities

• Get Things Done . More than just displaying activity, counting sprint points, or delivering regular updates. You actually bring projects to completion, deliver real accomplishments for the business, and help your teams understand the difference
• Dive into Details . You understand the details of their projects and help guide them with and in active partnership with their teams. You don’t just stay in the stratosphere or in an abstract process. You have the technical judgment to act as a partner with your teams in planning and decision-making
• Make Work Repeatable . You create and improve processes that smooth the path for others and prevent and remove recurring organizational toil (and the lower quality bar that often allows). You reuse processes developed elsewhere, and aid in the adoption of standards where relevant
• Mentor & Lead . You are good at, and enjoy, informally aiding others in developing key organizational and project skills. You’re a leader within your projects and support people in the process
• Bring Order out of Chaos. You are known for leaving a program and the teams you support in a position of stronger organization than where they started, and those teams continue to succeed even when you are no longer specifically engaged in the project
