Program Manager

As a Project Manager, you will lead a Balanced Product Team, collaborating with designers and engineers to deliver end-to-end solutions.

• PDO Leadership: Drive the delivery lifecycle, ensuring strategic alignment and unblocking technical teams.
• Technical Delivery: Actively participate in architectural design, technical requirement breakdowns, and system troubleshooting (GCP, Angular, Java/Python).
• Jira Management: Maintain rigorous oversight of complex project workstreams, agile ceremonies, and backlogs using Jira.
• Cloud & AI Integration: Drive the execution of Applied AI projects, integrating LLMs and Agentic AI workflows into enterprise applications.

• Act as the core Project Manager within a Balanced Product Team, driving the end-to-end delivery lifecycle from ideation to deployment.
• Maintain rigorous and meticulous oversight of project workstreams, epics, and the product backlog using Jira.
• Engage hands-on with the tech stack to support the engineering team—understanding API payloads, querying data (BigQuery/SQL), and navigating CI/CD pipelines (Terraform) & compliance.
• Translate complex business needs into actionable user stories and technical acceptance criteria.
• Develop and manage project schedules, resources, and timelines based on technical feasibility and business value.
• Proactively identify, assess, and mitigate technical risks, dependencies, and blockers across release trains.
