Technical Program Manager, Strategy & Ops

About The Role

As a Technical Program Manager, Strategy & Ops, you'll be responsible to deliver technical, business, and organizational programs that shape how Brain Co. builds, operates, and scales. Your scope will span multiple programs and evolve with our priorities, giving you the opportunity to influence operations at the company level.

What You'll Work On

• Define and deliver high-impact programs: Establish the business outcome, goals, scope, success criteria, and metrics for engineering and operational initiatives. Own execution from problem definition through delivery and handoff.
• Drive cross-functional execution: Partner with Engineering, Product, Design, Finance, GTM, and other teams to align priorities, clarify ownership, resolve dependencies, and make decisions that unblock delivery.
• Improve company-wide execution: Give leadership a clear view of progress, risks, and resource needs. Use that information to address recurring bottlenecks and improve delivery through better tools and lightweight processes.
• Help build the TPM function: Partner with TPM and engineering leadership to define where TPMs engage, how programs are run, and when work is ready for handoff. Contribute to shared practices, hiring, and onboarding as the team grows.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in technical program management or a related engineering or operations role.
• BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• A track record of delivering complex technical programs from problem definition through execution and handoff.
• Experience aligning multidisciplinary teams and partners across time zones, influencing senior leadership, and building data-driven program health mechanisms that leaders use to make decisions.
• High agency, ownership, and a bias for action.
• Comfort with ambiguity and competing priorities.
• Cross-functional leadership: build productive partnerships, influence without authority, resolve unclear ownership, establish trust, and drive decisions that unblock delivery.
• Strong analytical and program management judgment.
• Sustainable improvements: leave teams with tools, processes, and clear ownership they can maintain after handoff.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• AI fluency and curiosity: regularly use AI tools to plan, track, and communicate programs.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a high-growth technology company with evolving priorities and operating models.
• Experience with AI/ML operations, including data labeling workflows and coordination with downstream teams and external partners.
