About the role

Lead AI software delivery at Senior or Staff level, with clear scope, visible dependencies, and accountable release decisions.

The opportunity

Help multidisciplinary teams turn agreed product goals into dependable delivery. Keep execution practical and transparent while making room for evaluation, security review, and the operational work required to support a release.

Senior & Staff scope

This opening considers candidates at Senior or Staff level. Senior Project Managers independently lead complex multidisciplinary delivery, manage dependencies and risks, and guide release readiness. Staff Project Managers coordinate delivery across multiple teams or programs, improve shared delivery practices, and mentor delivery colleagues. Experience minimums apply to the level under consideration; demonstrated delivery leadership, scope, and impact also determine level.

What you will do

• Build delivery plans with owners, dependencies, milestones, and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate engineering, design, data, and business stakeholders; resolve blockers and communicate risks early.
• Track evaluation, testing, security review, and operational readiness alongside feature implementation.
• Manage scope changes and maintain concise records of decisions, assumptions, and outstanding issues.
• Support release coordination, handoffs, and retrospectives that improve predictability and delivery quality.

What you bring

• Senior level: at least 6 years of relevant professional software project management, delivery management, or program management experience.
• Staff level: at least 8 years of relevant professional software project management, delivery management, or program management experience.
• Prior professional experience working at an AI-forward company is required.
• A record of coordinating complex software delivery across multiple disciplines.
• Enough technical fluency to discuss APIs, data dependencies, cloud delivery, and AI evaluation with engineers.
• Strong planning, written communication, facilitation, and risk-management skills.
• Experience using issue tracking and delivery metrics to clarify progress and surface problems.
• Ability to adapt plans when experiments change what the team knows, while protecting agreed priorities.

Helpful experience

• AI software projects, enterprise integrations, or delivery in regulated settings.
• Experience coordinating staged rollouts, incident follow-up, or cross-team operational readiness.

Location & working arrangement

This is a full-time position based in our Burlingame, California office and requires working on-site five days a week.

AI & ML knowledge

Strong working knowledge of the AI and ML delivery lifecycle, including data preparation, experimentation, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and the uncertainty these stages introduce to delivery plans.

Every team member should be able to discuss the capabilities and limitations of AI relevant to their work, verify AI-generated output, protect sensitive information, and keep their knowledge current as the technology evolves.
