Senior Technical Program Manager

What You'll Do

• Lead end-to-end program management for large-scale ML and personalization initiatives, bringing together engineering, data science, product, and design.

• Drive the delivery of recommendation systems and personalization models used by listeners around the world, with clear accountability for outcomes.

• Own program roadmaps, milestones, dependency maps, and risk plans, identifying risks early and working with teams to resolve them before they become blockers.

• Orchestrate ML development workflows, including model training pipelines, experimentation, data infrastructure, and production deployment.

• Partner with engineering leaders on capacity planning, resourcing, and technical trade-off decisions.

• Drive alignment across ML engineering, data science, product, platform, and UX teams so everyone is working toward the same goals.

• Set up program metrics, reporting rhythms, and dashboards that give leadership clear visibility into progress, risks, and decisions.

• Keep leadership well-informed with no surprises through clear, data-informed communication, and help improve how teams work across the ML lifecycle.

Who You Are

• You have 8+ years of experience in technical program management, including meaningful time on ML, AI, data platforms, or similarly complex technical work.

• You have a track record of delivering multi-team technical programs from early planning through production launch, and you hold yourself accountable for results.

• You understand ML development workflows such as model training, experimentation, feature engineering, data pipelines, and production inference. You don't need to be an ML engineer yourself.

• You build trusted relationships with engineering and product leaders, especially in distributed, cross-functional organizations.

• You communicate clearly and can turn technical work into stories that make sense to everyone from engineers to executives.

• You're comfortable with ambiguity and create clarity that helps teams with different priorities and timelines find a shared path forward.

• You lead through influence rather than authority, and you care about the people and teams you work with.

• You enjoy helping others grow and bring curiosity and openness to how programs can run better.
