AI Program Manager

Town And Country, MO

The Program Manager (PM) is the person who manages the studio. Not a single product — a continuous innovation framework. They own intake, sprint cycles, stakeholder coordination, delivery cadence, scheduling, resource management, and onboarding/offboarding. They are the person who sees what the rest of the teamcan’t because they operate at a higher altitude than any individual engagement. What makes this role different from a traditional project manager or scrum master isscope and judgment. The PM isn’t managing a Gantt chart or running standup rituals for their own sake. They’re managing a portfolio of concurrent experiments, each ona 4-6 week cycle, with shifting stakeholder priorities, variable team capacity, andconstant intake of new ideas. The work is inherently unpredictable — the PM createsthe structure that lets the team operate within that unpredictability instead of beingconsumed by it.In a traditional consulting model, coordination gets distributed across engagementmanagers, resource managers, PMO staff, and delivery leads. In the AI Studio pod, it’s one person — because the team is small enough that one person can hold the full context, and splitting it would create more handoff friction than it eliminates.Core ResponsibilitiesIdea Intake and Pipeline Management -Own the intake process for new ideas, requests, and problem statements from stakeholders. -Triage and prioritize incoming requests against current capacity and strategicalignment -Maintain a visible pipeline of what’s been proposed, what’s been accepted, what’s in progress, and what’s been delivered or shelved-Ensure nothing falls through the cracks — every idea gets a response, even if the response is “not now”Delivery Rhythm and Sprint Coordination-Own the sprint cadence: planning, execution, review, retrospective-Manage the backlog — not just maintaining a list, but actively grooming it with thevStrategist and Forward Deployed Engineers to ensure work items are welldefined and sequenced-Track progress against sprint commitments and surface risks early when things are going off track-Coordinate handoffs between FDS (problem framing) and FDEs (solution building) to ensure nothing gets lost in translation-Stakeholder Coordination and CommunicationServe as the primary operational point of contact for stakeholders — status updates, schedule coordination, escalation management- Produce regular status visibility: what the team is working on, what’s beendelivered, what’s coming next, where the risks are-Coordinate demo scheduling and stakeholder review sessions-Manage expectations proactively — if a timeline is slipping or scope needs to change, stakeholders hear it from the PM before they have to askTeam Operations-Own scheduling and resource management — who’s working on what, when, and for how long-Manage onboarding for new team members joining an engagement-Manage offboarding and knowledge transfer when team members rotate off-Coordinate across multiple concurrent engagements when managing more than one pod-Handle the operational logistics that FDEs shouldn’t have to think about — tool access, environment setup, meeting logistics, documentation standardsOperational Visibility and Risk Surfacing-Maintain a clear, always-current picture of what’s happening across the pods-Surface risks, blockers, and dependencies before they become problems — don’t wait for someone to ask-Track metrics that matter: cycle time, throughput, stakeholder satisfaction, idea to-delivery velocityProvide the data and context that leadership needs to make decisions about capacity, investment, and scalingWe are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day.
