We built them by understanding the world of music and podcasts better than anyone else. Lead end-to-end program management for large-scale ML and personalization initiatives, bringing together engineering, data science, product, and design. Own program roadmaps, milestones, dependency maps, and risk plans, identifying risks early and working with teams to resolve them before they become blockers.

Orchestrate ML development workflows, including model training pipelines, experimentation, data infrastructure, and production deployment. Partner with engineering leaders on capacity planning, resourcing, and technical trade-off decisions. Drive alignment across ML engineering, data science, product, platform, and UX teams so everyone is working toward the same goals.

Set up program metrics, reporting rhythms, and dashboards that give leadership transparent visibility into progress, risks, and decisions. Keep leadership well-informed with no surprises through clear, data-informed communication, and help improve how teams work across the ML lifecycle. You have 8+ years of experience in technical program management, including meaningful time on ML, AI, data platforms, or similarly complex technical work.

You have a track record of delivering multi-team technical programs from early planning through production launch, and you hold yourself accountable for results. You understand ML development workflows such as model training, experimentation, feature engineering, data pipelines, and production inference. You don't need to be an ML engineer yourself.





You communicate clearly and can turn technical work into stories that make sense to everyone from engineers to executives. You're comfortable with ambiguity and create clarity that helps teams with different priorities and timelines find a shared path forward. You enjoy helping others grow and bring curiosity and openness to how programs can run better.

There will be some in person meetings, but still allows for flexibility to work from home.
