TL;DR · Senior Engineering Program Manager, AI Strategy & Adoption, Business Operations, Engagement and Strategy

The Sr Engineering Program Manger (AI Strategy & Adoption) joins the Business Operations, Engagement and Strategy team to lead complex cross-functional programs focused on agentic AI and MCP server delivery. This role serves as the connective tissue between various engineering teams to define requirements, manage interdependencies, and ensure high-quality releases of generative AI solutions. The manager will identify emerging capabilities, establish shared standards for safe adoption, and translate broad strategies into actionable roadmaps with clear KPIs. Key responsibilities include distilling technical program complexities into narratives for senior leadership and building internal communities to foster discovery. The role requires expertise in GenAI, LLM-based workflows, agentic systems, and the Model Context Protocol. Candidates must navigate high-ambiguity environments to solve the challenge of transforming scattered experiments into a cohesive enterprise-wide strategy for generative AI tools and infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Deliver MCP servers and agentic AI solutions by managing requirements, interdependencies, and cross-functional engineering partnerships.
  • Define a common GenAI adoption strategy and translate it into a roadmap with clear KPIs for leadership.
  • Scan and identify high-signal opportunities in emerging GenAI developments to inform company-wide investments.
  • Establish shared standards for GenAI solutions to ensure safe and effective use across the organization.
  • Reduce friction for employees by providing access to best-in-class tools, plugins, and workflows.
  • Act as a connector between disparate GenAI communities to ensure balanced representation in product direction.
  • Create centralized discovery and learning experiences for GenAI through feedback loops and user groups.
  • Distill complex technical programs into clear narratives and progress reports for senior leadership.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience leading large transformational programs or technical initiatives.
  • Proven track record of driving complex, cross-functional programs at enterprise scale.
  • Demonstrated experience with GenAI, LLM-based workflows, or agentic systems in an enterprise context.
  • BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Information Management, a technical field, or equivalent experience.
  • Hands-on familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP), agent frameworks, or GenAI developer tooling.
  • Experience with portfolio management and managing interdependencies across multiple engineering tracks.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to tailor technical concepts for various audiences.
  • Experience leading cross-organizational initiatives using diplomacy and coalition-building rather than direct authority.
