Technical Program Manager, Product Engineering

About the Role

The role is based in the United States and offers a chance to work with a talented team of professionals who are passionate about AI and its applications. You will report into the Product Engineering function and will be responsible for building the structure, rhythms, and visibility mechanisms that enable multiple product teams and their cross-functional partners to execute with clarity.

What You Will Do

• Own end-to-end release coordination for North, including managing release trains, defining cadences, and ensuring smooth execution across engineering and product teams
• Drive cherry pick and hotfix approval workflows, triaging urgency, aligning stakeholders, and shepherding changes through to deployment with appropriate guardrails
• Author and manage customer-facing release communications, translating technical changes into clear, accurate updates for enterprise customers and internal stakeholders
• Establish and scale release processes that allow North's teams to ship faster and with greater confidence as our platform grows
• Map cross-team dependencies and risks across the release pipeline, surfacing blockers early and coordinating resolution across engineering, product, and customer success
• Partner directly with North Leadership and Members of Technical Staff on efforts to improve release quality, velocity, and operational rigor
• Manage project tracking tools (Linear, GitHub workflows) and facilitate release planning sessions across cross-functional teams
• Respond quickly to program-level changes: clarifying scope, adjusting timelines, and marshalling the right resources when customer or market priorities shift
• Collaborate with GTM and Adjust teams to ensure seamless integration of their expertise into the product development process

What We Are Looking For

• 4+ years of experience as an Engineering or Technical Program Manager, with at least some of that time spent at a startup or high-growth company where you built programs rather than inherited them
• Demonstrated experience running multiple simultaneous workstreams and holding a complex picture in your head
• Strong executive communication skills, with the ability to distil messy, multi-team status into crisp, decision-ready updates for senior leadership
• Fluency with AI/ML product development and experience working with or alongside technical leads
• A builder's instinct, with the ability to create process and ship imperfect products rather than waiting for perfect ones
• Cross-functional influence without authority, with experience working with Finance, GTM, and engineering leads who have different priorities
• Experience working with project tracking tools such as Linear and GitHub workflows

Nice to Have

• Experience building OKR
• Familiarity with customer-facing release communications and the ability to translate technical changes into clear updates
• Experience working in a remote or distributed team environment

Benefits and Perks

• Competitive compensation package
• Opportunity to work with a talented team of professionals who are passionate about AI and its applications
• Chance to shape the future of AI and contribute to the development of innovative products
• Flexible working hours and remote work options
• Access to cutting-edge technologies and tools
• Professional development opportunities and support for ongoing learning and growth

• Tip: To stand out in your application, be sure to highlight your experience with GTM and Adjust, as well as your ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Tip: When preparing for your interview, make sure to review Cohere's products and services, and be prepared to discuss your experience with AI-powered product development.
• Tip: Consider creating a portfolio that showcases your technical program management skills, including examples of your work with cross-functional teams and your experience with project tracking tools.
• Tip: Be prepared to discuss your experience with customer-facing release communications and your ability to translate technical changes into clear updates.
• Tip: Don't be afraid to ask questions during your interview, such as what a typical day looks like in the role, or what opportunities there are for professional development and growth.
