Role Summary

We're hiring a Technical Program Manager to own the execution engine behind Mistral's release system - the layer that turns research milestones into product-ready launches. You'll work within the frameworks that define how we plan, track, and communicate model releases, evolving them through real-world execution.

This is not a coordination role - it's operational ownership. You'll run the core machinery that keeps releases on track, well-documented, and transparent across teams. From managing dependencies and retrospectives to ensuring provenance and launch comms, you'll make sure every release feels disciplined, visible, and reliable.

It's a fast-moving, high-context role at the intersection of science, engineering, and product - ideal for someone who thrives on structure, clarity, and iteration.

What you will do

• Release Systems & Execution : Design, operate, and evolve the systems that power Mistral's model releases - from pretraining to deployment. Ensure that dependencies, documentation, and communications flow seamlessly, transforming launches into a structured, high-velocity operational rhythm.
• Process Design & Continuous Improvement : Own and refine the frameworks and tools that support release operations - from readiness checks to coordination templates. Run retrospectives after major launches and translate insights into system-level improvements that strengthen discipline and efficiency over time.
• Operational Alignment & Momentum : Keep the release machine moving - anticipate and clear blockers, align stakeholders across science, engineering, and product, and ensure every launch stays coordinated, timely, and well-supported.
• Model Provenance & Governance : Guarantee each model has a complete, auditable trail - from training lineage to deployment details. Maintain transparent documentation standards that enable trust, reproducibility, and accountability across teams.
• Visibility & Communication Cadence : Own the release comms layer - driving structured updates that surface progress, trade-offs, and risks in real time, enabling clear and confident decision-making across the organization.

About you

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience in technical program management, operations, or research coordination.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience in structuring ambiguous projects into clear deliverables.
• Proven ability to drive cross-functional initiatives and manage complex stakeholder landscapes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to synthesize technical detail into clear, strategic updates.

Nice to have :

• Experience in research-heavy or ML / AI organizations.
• Familiarity with model development pipelines (pretraining, posttraining, release readiness).
• Experience managing infrastructure workflows (API keys, quota, access).
• Track record of building systemic processes from the ground up.
• Comfort working in fast-paced, high-ambiguity environments where priorities shift quickly.

Benefits

France

• Competitive cash salary and equity
• Daily lunch vouchers
• Monthly contribution to a Gympass subscription
• Monthly contribution to a mobility pass
• Full health insurance for you and your family
• Generous parental leave policy
