Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cohere is a company focused on scaling intelligence to serve humanity through AI systems. They are seeking a Technical Program Manager to coordinate cross-team programs, track progress and risks, and build program infrastructure for their evolving AI-powered product experiences.

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

• An open and inclusive culture and work environment
• Work closely with a team on the cutting edge of AI research
• Weekly lunch stipend, in-office lunches & snacks
• Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget to take care of your mental health
• 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months
• Personal enrichment benefits towards arts and culture, fitness and well-being, quality time, and workspace improvement
• Remote-flexible, offices in Toronto, New York, San Francisco, London and Paris, as well as a co-working stipend
• 6 weeks of vacation (30 working days!)
