Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Mirantis is the Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure company, enabling organizations to build and operate scalable, secure, and sovereign infrastructure for modern AI, machine learning, and data-intensive applications. They are looking for a Senior Program Manager to drive important initiatives through the full lifecycle, focusing on k0rdent AI, and ensuring alignment across various teams to deliver successful outcomes.
Responsibilities
- Drive strategic programs through the Concept, Commit, and Execution process: shaping and pressure-testing initiatives at the concept stage, securing cross-functional commitment on scope, resourcing, and timelines, and running execution through delivery
- Keep programs aligned across R&D, Engineering, Product Management, and Sales, connecting technical delivery to commercial outcomes and making sure each function knows what it owes and when
- Coordinate closely with other program managers across the organization, gathering their inputs, resolving overlaps and dependencies between programs, and rolling status up into a coherent picture of where the portfolio stands
- Present program status, risks, and decision points to executive leadership with clarity and candor, framing options and recommendations rather than surprises
- Run the operating cadence for your programs: milestone tracking, risk and dependency management, decision logs, and reporting that surfaces problems early enough to fix them
- Improve how Mirantis runs programs, refining the Concept, Commit, and Execution process itself and contributing templates, standards, and practices that other program managers adopt
Skills
- 8+ years in program management or technical program management for enterprise infrastructure software, with a record of carrying complex initiatives from concept through delivery
- Technical background sufficient for a highly technical domain: you can follow architecture discussions, ask credible questions of engineers, engage credibly on the technical content of your programs, ideally across Kubernetes, GPU infrastructure, cloud platforms, or adjacent systems
- Demonstrated success driving results through influence in matrixed organizations, aligning stakeholders who do not report to you across engineering, product, and go-to-market functions
- Experience working within and improving structured program lifecycles, such as concept-to-commit-to-execution, stage-gate, or similar frameworks
- Strong collaboration instincts paired with accountability for outcomes: you bring teams along, and programs you run finish
- Exceptional written and verbal communication across audiences, from engineering deep dives to executive presentations, framing tradeoffs and representing program health with candor
- Prior hands-on technical role (engineering, solutions architecture, or similar) before moving into program management
- PMP, PgMP, or equivalent certification, or a track record that makes certification irrelevant
Benefits
- Operate some of the most advanced AI infrastructure environments in production today.
- Work with the latest NVIDIA GPU technologies, Kubernetes platforms, and high-performance networking environments.
- Help define operational standards and reliability practices for next-generation AI infrastructure services.
- Influence the adoption of AI-powered operational capabilities through k0rdent AI.
- Work alongside highly skilled engineers solving complex infrastructure and platform challenges at scale.
- Join a growing organisation investing heavily in AI infrastructure, platform services, and operational innovation.
