  • You will work across APM, Engineering, Product, Research, Security, Legal, and Go-to-Market to translate requirements into executable programs, manage dependencies across parallel workstreams, and surface issues before they become blockers.
  • this includes design partnerships and strategic accounts where requirements are still taking shape
  • Decagon is the leading conversational AI platform empowering every brand to deliver concierge customer experiences.
  • We're building a future where customer experiences are being redefined from support tickets and hold music to faster resolutions, richer conversations, and deeper relationships.

Requirements

  • 4-6+ years of experience as a technical program manager or in product/engineering operations, with direct ownership of either complex enterprise deployments or large-scale internal cross-functional initiatives
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs or conversational AI - you've shipped something with these systems, whether in a professional or personal context
