Technical Program Manager, Science Operations

About This Opportunity

Our talent team is representing a confidential AI organization seeking a Technical Program Manager to build and drive the execution engine of their science operations. This is a rare opportunity to design the systems and workflows that transform research goals into coordinated, measurable outcomes at a cutting-edge technology company.

In this role, you'll sit at the intersection of program management, technical operations, and research—bringing structure and visibility to complex initiatives while ensuring teams maintain focus on advancing frontier AI capabilities. You'll partner closely with scientists and engineers to streamline delivery, surface dependencies early, and maintain momentum across distributed teams.

Please note: our client is hiring across a range of Technical Program Manager roles varying in scope and seniority. Candidates will be evaluated and matched to the position that best aligns with their experience and strengths.

Responsibilities

• Execution & Release Operations: Design and own systems for tracking ongoing model training and releases, providing real-time visibility into readiness, trade-offs, and impact. Evolve efforts into systematic release operations that enable disciplined, high-velocity execution.
• Strategic Planning & Roadmapping: Partner with science leads to translate research goals into actionable, company-aligned roadmaps. Frame scientific capabilities in business-relevant terms and ensure priorities are consistently communicated across teams.
• Operational Coordination: Anticipate and clear roadblocks, streamline cross-functional coordination, and maintain momentum. Own GPU allocation and quota management to ensure compute resources are scaled and accessible when needed.
• Visibility & Communication: Drive structured communication loops including bi-weekly science updates, all-hands meetings, and company-wide digests. Synthesize inputs into clear, high-signal narratives that inform leadership and align the organization.
• Continuous Improvement: Run retrospectives after major sprints and releases, distilling insights into repeatable systems. Refine processes, templates, and feedback loops to strengthen organizational learning and operational excellence.
