About the role

  • We are seeking a Technical Program Manager to serve as a cross-functional operational leader across a portfolio of technical programs.
  • If you thrive managing complex programs with cross-org dependencies, real ambiguity instead of a defined spec, technical risk, competing senior stakeholders, and serious downside if deliverables slip, this is a great opportunity for you.
  • You will work closely with senior leaders across science, product, engineering, business development, and operations to keep priorities aligned and programs moving.

Responsibilities

  • Own the cross-vertical source of truth for milestones, dependencies, risks, and decisions across the several programmatic areas; surface variance early and drive corrective action with the GM and Vertical Leads.
  • Coordinate cross-functional execution across Vertical Leads, Platform Engineering, Product, BD, Recruiting, Finance, and Legal/Compliance to unblock teams and protect program timelines.
  • Design and operationalize the program management toolkit for Chemical Simulation, including dashboards, decision logs, resourcing models, and reporting templates that scale across verticals and survive leadership transitions.
  • Exceptional executive-level communication; able to translate technical detail for non-technical government and executive audiences and to drive trade-off conversations when scope, time, or budget are at risk.
  • Because this position supports specific U.S. Government contractual requirements, we can only consider US Persons (Permanent Residents or Citizens) at this time.
