Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cohere is the leading security-first enterprise AI company. They are seeking a Technical Program Manager to coordinate cross-team programs and build infrastructure for multiple AI-powered product experiences. The role involves managing progress, risks, and dependencies while influencing stakeholders across various functions.
Responsibilities
- Own cross-team program coordination, tracking progress, dependencies, and risks across all workstreams and their functional components (Product, Design, Engineering, Finance, Revenue) simultaneously
- Drive the executive operating cadence, synthesising status into clear signal and surfacing risks before they become blockers
- Build the program infrastructure from scratch: roadmapping templates, status reporting, milestone tracking, and cross-team dependency mapping, across a program that is nascent and evolving
- Coordinate shared resources (particularly MLE and PD capacity) across teams, identifying scheduling conflicts and driving prioritisation decisions with the relevant leads
- Support each team lead in standing up their weekly team cadence and holding the standard for how progress is communicated upward
- Operate across function and build credibility and influence with stakeholders who don't report into your org
Skills
- 4+ years 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. You can hold a complex picture in your head, spot cascading risks early, and keep several parallel programs moving without losing the thread
- Strong executive communication: you know how to distil messy, multi-team status into crisp, decision-ready updates for senior leadership, and you know when to escalate versus resolve
- Fluency with AI/ML product development
- A builder's instinct: comfortable in ambiguous, low-structure environments where you're creating the process, not following it, and pragmatic enough to ship something imperfect rather than wait for perfect
- Cross-functional influence without authority: you've worked in roles where you had to align Finance, GTM, and engineering leads who all had different priorities, and you know how to move people without a mandate
- Experience working with or alongside technical leads: you can have a credible conversation about technical dependencies and constraints without needing things translated
- Building OKR or roadmapping systems from scratch in a scaling org
- Prior work inside an AI or LLM product company
Benefits
- A weekly lunch stipend of $75/£75 or equivalent in your local currency for lunch.
- Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health.
- RRSP matching, 401K, Pension Scheme.
- 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months, for either parent.

- 6 weeks of paid vacation (30 working days!)
- Budget for traveling to other offices if you are remote, plus an annual company offsite.
- Cohere is remote-friendly.
- For those in the office: a daily lunch program, plenty of snacks, and regular community and social events.
- For those not near an office: a co-working benefit so you can work alongside others in your city.
- Everyone receives a $500 home office stipend to set up your workspace properly.
