Requirements 8+ years of technical program or project management on teams that ship physical products or complex software, including several years at a senior level.

Exacting attention to detail. You catch the inconsistency in the tracker, the date that quietly moved, and the acceptance criterion nobody wrote down.

Daily fluency with current AI tools in your own work, and a concrete vision for how program management should be rebuilt around them. Be ready to show us something you built or automated, not just describe it.

Enough technical depth to follow engineering discussions on software architecture, hardware design, and manufacturing, and to push back when an estimate or a plan does not hold together.

Clear, concise writing and verbal communication.

Nice to haves (zero or more) Program management experience at more than one company, including at least one large company and at least one startup.

Worked as a software or hardware engineer before moving into program management.

Ran programs that span hardware and software with a manufacturing dependency: engineering builds, engineering change orders, field retrofits.

Robotics, industrial automation, or industrial equipment background.

Wrote the automation yourself: scripts, agents, or integrations against the Linear, Jira, GitHub, or Slack APIs.

Comfortable on a factory or warehouse floor, and willing to travel occasionally to customer sites and manufacturing partners.
