Job summary

Evlo AI in Seattle seeks a Program Manager to drive end-to-end programs across engineering, product, and design, turning complex goals into concrete plans and clear leadership updates.

You will manage cross-team dependencies, track risks, coordinate launches, and improve planning processes while maintaining budgets and vendor timelines to ship fast with disciplined execution.

Qualifications

• Experience managing multi-quarter technical programs involving engineering, product, and design teams.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program plans for platform and product initiatives, including milestones, dependencies, and launch criteria.
• Run weekly cross-functional syncs with engineering leads, PMs, and design; maintain decision logs and clear action items.
• Track program health in Jira, Asana, and dashboards (Looker or similar); report status, risks, and tradeoffs to leadership.
• Identify and elevate blockers early, negotiating scope and timelines across teams with competing priorities.
• Coordinate launch readiness: release plans, comms, rollouts, and post-launch retrospectives.
• Improve planning and execution processes — headcount planning, sprint cadences, OKR tracking — and document how the team works.
• Manage program budgets and vendor timelines where applicable.

Job description

About The Role

The role drives execution across engineering, product, and design teams, keeping complex technical programs on schedule from kickoff through launch. Programs span infrastructure, platform releases, and cross-team product initiatives with dependencies spanning multiple orgs.

The work matters because this company ships fast and coordinates loosely by design — the Program Manager is the connective tissue that turns ambiguous goals into plans, tracks risks before they become blockers, and gives leadership a clear, honest picture of progress.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end program plans for platform and product initiatives, including milestones, dependencies, and launch criteria
• Run weekly cross-functional syncs with engineering leads, PMs, and design; maintain decision logs and clear action items
• Track program health in Jira, Asana, and dashboards (Looker or similar); report status, risks, and tradeoffs to leadership
• Identify and elevate blockers early, negotiating scope and timelines across teams with competing priorities
• Coordinate launch readiness: release plans, comms, rollouts, and post-launch retrospectives
• Improve planning and execution processes — headcount planning, sprint cadences, OKR tracking — and document how the team works
• Manage program budgets and vendor timelines where applicable

What We Are Looking For

• 4-7 years of program, project, or technical product operations experience, ideally at a fast-moving technology company
• Experience managing multi-quarter technical programs involving engineering, product, and design teams
• Fluent with Jira, Confluence, Asana, or similar tooling; comfortable building status dashboards and executive readouts
• Strong written communication — crisp RFCs, status updates, and postmortems that people actually read
• Comfortable in ambiguous environments; able to build structure where none exists
• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Bonus: experience with infrastructure or SaaS platform programs, technical background (CS degree or engineering experience), or formal certifications (PMP, CSM, SAFe)
