We are seeking a Senior Customer Program Manager to support the planning and execution of technical and operational programs for key partners and maintain strong customer relationships.

  • Provide horizontal leadership to drive cross-functional program execution, managing high priority issues/concerns, and coordinating globally dispersed teams to ensure clear alignment on objectives.

  • Act as the primary customer interface, facilitating program kick-offs, technical discussions, design reviews, issues/bug tracking and resolution, customer qualification/validation efforts, and status updates throughout the product lifecycle.

  • Drive program execution from design through production deployment, ensuring on-time delivery, quality, and customer acceptance.

  • Provide ongoing post-deployment sustaining support, serving as case manager for high-priority concerns

  • Proactively communicate program health, risks, and key issues to both customers, internal partners, and leadership (Hardware, Software, Operations, Business, Quality, Sales, and Product Teams), ensuring transparency and alignment.

  • Define the strategy and execution plans for successfully integrating complex AI model tech stacks in customer environments, from evaluation/proof-of-concept to design, development, qualification, and validation to production launch

What We Need to See:

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • 12+ years of program/project management experience in Cloud providers, Automotive, Robotics or Physical AI industries

  • Strong technical background in hardware and/or software product development with experience working closely with cloud and AI solution providers

  • Experience driving AI Systems Orchestration.  Aligning engineering teams to scale large generative architectures while managing massive compute resources, infrastructure bottlenecks, and model release timelines

  • Consistent track record of leading complex, global programs through full development lifecycles into deployment and production

  • Excellent program management, communication, and organizational skills with the ability to prioritize issues and drive cross-functional alignment.

  • Consistent track record to coordinate with global teams and navigate multi-cultural, multinational business environments.

  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to distill complex technical concepts for diverse technical and non-technical audiences, from engineers to executives.

  • Willingness to travel as required (up to 10%), and thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments

Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd:

  • Experience working with Synthetic data generation pipelines and/or World Foundation Models

  • Experience managing data Lifecycle Management: Overseeing large-scale data curation pipelines, defining automated quality metrics for training data, and mitigating legal, privacy, and bias risks

  • Strong leadership in matrixed collaboration, conflict resolution, and consensus-building.

  • Strong background thriving in dynamic, high-growth environments, with proven adaptability to obscurity, rapid change, and matrixed team structures.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, we are widely considered to be one of the world’s most desirable employers! We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us and, due to outstanding growth, our best-in-class engineering teams are rapidly growing.
