Salary
💰 $121,000 - $189,000 per year
About the role
- Own the day-to-day execution of high-visibility, executive-sponsored programs that span multiple functional organizations.
- Design and maintain program structure: define workstreams, clarify ownership, establish meeting cadence, and keep the program operating with consistency and clarity.
- Run effective cross-functional meetings with senior and executive stakeholders. Prepare agendas, facilitate discussion, capture decisions, and ensure the right conversations happen at the right time.
- Chase down action items and commitments between meetings. Hold owners accountable without friction and keep work moving between formal touchpoints.
- Track and communicate program progress clearly. Maintain status reports, surface risks early, and give leadership an accurate picture of where things stand.
- Identify when programs are drifting, decisions are stalling, or dependencies are at risk. Escalate with context and a point of view, not just a flag.
- Translate complex, multi-team work into clear milestones and progress narratives that resonate with both working teams and executive audiences.
- Partner with functional leads across operations, hardware, software, and commercial teams to align on priorities, resolve blockers, and maintain shared accountability.
- Build and improve the program infrastructure over time, including templates, tracking tools, and communication frameworks that make the work more scalable.
- Other duties as assigned.
Requirements
- You are a structured, disciplined PM who knows how to bring order to complex, multi-team work without slowing it down.
- You run great meetings. You prepare thoroughly, facilitate with confidence, and leave every session with clear decisions and owners.
- You are relentless about follow-through. You don’t wait for updates to come to you, and you know how to hold people accountable without creating friction.
- You are comfortable working across all levels of the organization — from leaders setting direction to the functional teams doing the work. You earn trust quickly regardless of who is in the room.
- You define progress concretely. You know the difference between activity and momentum and you build the tracking systems to show the difference.
- You thrive when the work is ambiguous and the stakes are high. You create structure where it’s missing and stay focused when priorities shift.
- You are curious about the work your stakeholders do, even when it’s outside your domain, and that curiosity makes you a better partner and a more effective PM.
