We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale - enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Program Manager, Special Projects to join our Operations team and drive execution across complex initiatives spanning engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, business development, and customer delivery.\nThis is a hands-on, high-ownership role focused on making things happen. You'll translate business priorities and customer commitments into actionable plans, coordinate teams and dependencies, identify obstacles, and drive initiatives through completion.\nThe scope is intentionally broad. You may coordinate a complex customer program, support the introduction of a new hardware product, or lead an operational initiative that requires collaboration across multiple teams.\nWe're not looking for someone who simply maintains schedules or generates status reports. We need someone who understands technical and operational challenges, brings the right people together, and takes personal responsibility for moving work forward.\nThe ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, operates with urgency, and creates accountability without unnecessary bureaucracy.\nWhat You'll Do\nProgram & Project Execution\nOwn complex, cross-functional programs and special projects from planning through execution and delivery.\n\nTranslate business objectives, customer commitments, and technical requirements into actionable plans with clear milestones and responsibilities.\n\nCoordinate engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, software, and other teams to keep projects on track.\n\nIdentify risks, bottlenecks, and competing priorities, driving timely resolution with relevant stakeholders.\n\nManage multiple concurrent initiatives while maintaining visibility into project status, decisions, and delivery timelines.\n\nCross-Functional Operations\nServe as a central point of coordination across Engineering, Operations, Finance, Product, Sales, and other functions.\n\nPartner with technical and operational leaders to align resources, materials, and execution plans with program requirements.\n\nFacilitate handoffs between commercial commitments and operational execution, ensuring teams understand upcoming work and delivery expectations.\n\nSupport hardware development, procurement, manufacturing, integration, testing, and customer delivery activities.\n\nDrive resolution of issues that fall between functional responsibilities, ensuring clear ownership and follow-through.\n\nTake ownership of nonstandard or strategically important projects requiring dedicated operational coordination.\n\nCustomer Programs & Delivery\nCoordinate customer-facing programs, tracking contractual commitments, delivery milestones, and critical dependencies.\n\nPartner with Sales, Product, and Engineering to identify execution risks and resource requirements for upcoming customer opportunities.\n\nParticipate in cross-functional pipeline reviews to surface potential delivery constraints before commitments are finalized.\n\nSupport the transition of accepted customer orders into execution, ensuring relevant teams have the information they need.\n\nProactively communicate schedule changes, coordinate recovery plans, and maintain visibility into delivery milestones and customer obligations.\n\nOperational Improvement\nIdentify gaps in execution, communication, and accountability, developing practical solutions to address them.\n\nEstablish lightweight tools and processes that improve visibility, coordination, and delivery predictability.\n\nHelp build repeatable approaches to managing customer programs and cross-functional initiatives as AnySignal scales.\n\nAdapt quickly to evolving priorities, taking on new challenges and responsibilities as needed.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n4+ years of experience in technical program management, project management, operations, or a related role in a hardware or engineering-driven environment.\n\nExperience coordinating cross-functional projects involving engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, or technical product delivery.\n\nUnderstanding of hardware development lifecycles, including design, procurement, integration, testing, and delivery.\n\nProven ability to independently drive projects, manage competing priorities, and resolve obstacles across teams.\n\nAbility to engage effectively with engineers, understand technical challenges, and translate them into actionable plans.\n\nStrong organizational skills, sound judgment, and the ability to focus on issues that materially impact outcomes.\n\nExcellent communication skills and the ability to build trust and influence without formal authority.\n\nA proactive, resourceful, hands-on approach to problem-solving and comfort operating in a fast-paced environment.\n\nNice to Have\nBachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical field.\n\nExperience in aerospace, defense, RF communications, electronics, robotics, or advanced manufacturing.\n\nExperience managing customer-facing hardware programs or complex technical deliverables.\n\nFamiliarity with new product introduction (NPI), manufacturing, and supply chain operations.\n\nExperience coordinating programs involving both hardware and software development.\n\nExperience in a startup or rapidly scaling engineering organization.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nYou'll become a trusted execution partner across the organization: someone who can step into a complex initiative, establish clear ownership, and drive progress without constant oversight.\nSuccess means fewer commitments falling through the cracks, stronger coordination across teams, earlier identification of risks, and more predictable delivery of critical programs.\nMost importantly, you'll help AnySignal scale its execution capabilities while preserving the speed, flexibility, and ownership of a small engineering-driven company.\nCompensation\nThe estimated base salary range for this role is $110,000-$140,000 per year, plus equity. This range reflects our good-faith estimate for this position at the time of posting. The final base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including the candidate's qualifications, relevant experience, skills, and market considerations.
