Job description

Program Manager V Remote AI is a company-wide priority, and Marketing Science is at the center of it. We work with product developers to shape how AI-powered recommendations reach marketers, ensuring they're grounded in measurement rigor and real business outcomes. The next chapter is about encoding our expertise into AI products and tools, so every marketer at our company gets Marketing Science-grade intelligence regardless of size or account coverage. MarSci System Intelligence is a newly formed Program within Marketing Science driving this evolution. It has a number of pods working across AI-guided advertising, holistic marketing intelligence, and human-engaged delivery, with heavy cross-functional dependencies across Marketing Science, Sales and Product. We're looking for a Program Manager who gets genuine satisfaction from making a team hum. You'll serve as the operational backbone of the System Intelligence Program, a shared resource for all pod leads and the Program Lead. You don't need to own the strategy: you need to own the execution infrastructure that makes strategy real. But this isn't a traditional coordination role. Your job isn't just to run the operating rhythm; it's to build a system that outlasts you. By the end of your contract, you'll have designed and piloted AI-driven coordination workflows, documented what stays human-owned and why, and produced a playbook that other teams can adopt.

Requirements

• Track record of driving alignment and outcomes across multiple teams without direct authority: influencing, being firm with requests, and ensuring follow-through
• History of building structure and process in environments that didn't have it, in ambiguous, fast-moving conditions
• Strong written and verbal communication: you'll write status reports, playbooks, and stakeholder comms constantly, and influence senior leaders
• Systems-thinking orientation: you see your job as building the machine, not being it
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize or redesign workflows and drive measurable impact

Pay range is $106 - $111 per hour with full benefits available, including paid time off, medical/dental/vision/life insurance, 401K, parental leave, and more. Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. Pay is based on several factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
