Job description

Our mission at the company is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their the company Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.

Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office.

We are looking for a Staff Technology Portfolio Manager to build and run the single place IT trusts for portfolio status, ownership, and risk. IT runs roughly 100 concurrent programs across six teams — ERP, supply chain technology, commercial systems, CX technology, workplace technology, and enterprise architecture & AI — and today nobody can say what's happening this week, who owns what, or what needs a decision before it becomes a fire. You're the first person we've hired specifically to fix that: this is hands-on, no direct reports — you build the system yourself, then run it day to day, AI-first from day one.

This is a remote US role with a preference for candidates based in San Francisco.

What You Will Do:

• Build the single system of record for IT's portfolio — real, shared definitions of program "health" that every team trusts, replacing six different versions of the truth.
• Understand every one of IT's ~100 programs: owner, status, target date, blocker, and why it matters — sourced from teams' existing working artifacts, not a parallel reporting burden.
• Run the weekly portfolio review as a decision-forcing forum — write the pre-read, push open items to closure, and follow up until risks are actually resolved.
• Map cross-team dependencies so quiet coupling between teams surfaces as a managed risk instead of a surprise.
• Own intake governance so saying yes to new work is a deliberate trade-off — new requests get a real answer within a week.
• Partner with IT Planning & Delivery leads and program managers to build a program office people want to be part of, not one they have to feed.
• Use AI as your default operating method — build your own reporting, dependency-analysis, and risk-detection workflows with AI as a thought partner, not a checklist you bolt on afterward.

What you'll bring

• 10+ years running programs or portfolios in a technology org — real complexity, competing stakeholders, and ambiguity worked through directly, not just tickets tracked.
• Demonstrated complex program management — you've built a portfolio system of record from scratch, or rebuilt one after it broke, in an org running many concurrent, interdependent workstreams.
• A habit of using LLM assistants and agents (e.g., Claude) as your default way of working — solving problems, building reports, analyzing dependencies, and surfacing emerging risk — with sound judgment about when AI isn't the right tool and discipline about verifying output before it ships.
• Strong PMO tooling fluency, with a track record of using AI to do reporting and analysis work that used to be done by hand.
• Enough enterprise IT fluency (ERP, identity, integrations, ITSM, compliance) to read a status update and ask the question that finds the real risk.
• Clear, compressed executive writing — you can turn ~100 programs into one page a leader can act on without losing what matters.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, and willing to say "this is at risk" before anyone asks.

Nice to have:

• Jira, Confluence, and AI app-building platforms (e.g., Lovable) to prototype lightweight tools rather than waiting on engineering.
• Experience at a company that scaled through a step change, where process had to be built while delivery never stopped.
