Lead sprint planning, delivery throughput, dependencies, timelines, prioritization, and resource allocation across a portfolio of generative AI products. Coordinate cross-site teams, manage technology-provider support requests, remove blockers, and produce recurring reports for technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role requires strong execution, communication, and program management discipline across concurrent initiatives.
OVERVIEW:
The D. E. Shaw group seeks a program manager to join its Generative AI Tech Services team. This team develops and operates a wide-ranging suite of generative-AI products and workstreams, serving as a centralized platform to drive innovation and efficiency across the firm. This role provides an opportunity to bring structure and delivery discipline to a rapidly expanding, cross-site team in an engaging and collegial environment.
WHAT YOU’LL DO DAY-TO-DAY:
- Lead sprint planning and manage delivery throughput across a portfolio of generative-AI products and workstreams.
- Map and oversee cross-functional dependencies, set timelines, and drive accountability to ensure progress across the team.
- Support prioritization and resource allocation in a dynamic environment with multiple stakeholders and competing initiatives.
- Coordinate closely with the firm's India-based team and maintain strong partnership with a program manager counterpart to align cross-site operations.
- Handle tactical and operational requests, such as managing support tickets with technology providers, and own recurring stakeholder reporting for both technical and non-technical audiences.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
- A bachelor’s degree or higher; and five to twelve years of program or project management experience, including managing a portfolio of concurrent initiatives (as opposed to owning only one or two large projects).
- Demonstrated track record of execution, with a focus on delivering results and driving initiatives to completion.
- Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear reports for mixed technical and non-technical audiences.
- Ability to introduce and promote effective program management practices and operate with minimal ramp-up time.
- Comfort coordinating across sites and time zones, defining goals, opening communication channels, and removing blockers; technical fluency or a degree in a related discipline is a plus but not required
- The expected annual base salary for this position is $150,000 to $220,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
