Our Company:

At Teradata, we believe that people thrive when empowered with better information. Teradata Autonomous Knowledge Platform activates enterprise intelligence by unifying data, knowledge and business context to achieve tangible outcomes. With Teradata, organizations can provide agents with full context for impact when it matters. Our solution lets businesses connect and scale on premises, in the cloud, or through a hybrid approach. Teradata delivers real business value with AI.

In this role, you will be responsible for leading and planning strategic programs that accelerate Teradata's AI Studio product capabilities from concept through customer delivery. You will orchestrate execution across 10+ cross-functional teams, driving delivery of customer-facing AI features, platform capabilities, and product initiatives at the pace and quality the market demands.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include leading complex programs, managing interdependencies, and collaborating with senior leadership across Product, Engineering, TPM, Infrastructure, Field/GTM/Sales, and Data Science/AI teams to ensure successful outcomes.

What success looks like:

• Shape and execute program strategy by translating AI Studio product goals into measurable customer and business outcomes
• Adopt and adapt project management processes, practices, and tools to balance agility, speed, risk, and compliance; bring a mindset of iterative and incremental delivery to seek rapid feedback from the field and customers; create an environment of continuous improvement
• Lead complex, multi-workstream programs, managing scope, milestones, risks, and dependencies across 10+ teams spanning Product, Engineering, Data Science, and GTM
• Build and maintain integrated program plans across Product, Engineering, TPM, GTM, and AI/ML platform organizations
• Proactively identify and resolve cross-team dependencies and risks, ensuring smooth and predictable execution
• Provide clear, concise executive-level communications, including status updates, business reviews, and program summaries
• Act as a central integrator and trusted advisor across internal teams, translating AI Studio strategy into coordinated, executable delivery plans
• Deliver high-quality launches of customer-facing AI features and platform capabilities

Who will you work with on the team:

This requires someone adept at integrating efforts and activities across many leadership levels and organizations, including regular engagement with managers and senior leaders from Product Management, AI/ML Engineering, Data Science, Field/Sales Enablement, Technical Enablement, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, IT, and more.
