This is a unique “builder” TPM role where you won’t just manage processes. You will design and implement the systems, tooling, and AI agents that automate them.\nYou’ll leverage AI, automation, and smart infrastructure to eliminate manual coordination, reduce operational drag, and enable teams to move faster with clarity and precision. If you have seen program management at complex organizations first hand and found yourself thinking “this meeting could be automated” or “we shouldn’t need a human to track this,” you’ll thrive here.\nThis role is about building scalable execution infrastructure - not status reporting. You will act as a force multiplier for engineering teams, creating systems that streamline cross-pod coordination and ensure our internal operations are as innovative as the care we deliver to our members.\nWhat You'll Accomplish\nIn your first 3 months:\nAudit & Identify: Assess R&D operational processes and identify high-impact opportunities for AI-driven automation and tooling improvements. Create a clean system of processes across R&D.\n\nBuild Relationships: Establish trust with R&D leadership and pod leads, understanding their pain points and operational bottlenecks.\n\nQuick Wins: Deploy initial automated agents or scripts to streamline the most repetitive R&D workflows.\n\nIn your first 6 months:\nLaunch AI-Driven Infrastructure: Architect and deploy the R&D knowledge base and Internal Developer Portal optimized for both human and AI retrieval.\n\nStandardize Operations: Design and roll out standardized operational processes across R&D, championing \"AI-native ways of working.\"\n\nDrive Planning Excellence: Lead one full quarterly OKR cycle, establishing a \"single source of truth\" for the R&D roadmap.\n\nIn your first year:\nScale Systems: Build low-code integrations (Jira/Linear, Slack, GSuite) that automate metrics collection and surface project health/velocity in real-time.\n\nTransform Execution: Own the end-to-end R&D planning cycle, reducing planning overhead by 30% through automation while improving forecast accuracy.\n\nEstablish Innovation Culture: Identify and implement AI/ML opportunities that become operational standards, acting as a force multiplier for R&D leadership.\n\nWho You Are\nA Builder at Heart: You don't just ask for a tracker; you build the tool that generates it. You are comfortable writing scripts, configuring AI agents, and using technical skills to solve operational problems directly.\n\nA Strategic Orchestrator: You excel at \"Leading at all Levels,\" navigating the complexity of cross-pod coordination to align diverse stakeholders on planning and OKRs without losing sight of the big picture. You are a direct communicator, can get clear answers, and know how to motivate teams with a sense of urgency.\n\nA Resilient Problem Solver: You thrive in fast-paced environments and embody our \"Hustle\" value. When gaps appear-whether in personnel or process-you step in to bridge them, ensuring the team never misses a beat.\n\nBasic Requirements\n3+ years of experience in technical program management, product operations, or a related engineering role\n\nDemonstrated experience building custom AI agents or utilizing LLM APIs to drive productivity and automation\n\nProven track record of managing comprehensive planning cycles and OKR processes for technical teams\n\nExperience with modern project management ecosystems (e.g., Jira, Linear) and documentation platforms (e.g., Notion, Confluence)\n\nExceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex process changes to diverse audiences\n\nBachelor's degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience\n\nPreferred Requirements\nStrong understanding of Developer Experience (DX) metrics and how to influence them\n\nBackground in software engineering or data analysis\n\nCertification in Agile or Project Management (PMP, CSM)\n\nExperience working in a high-growth technology environment\n\nExperience working in Health Tech and familiarity with healthcare regulations\n\nAbout Hinge Health\nAt Hinge Health, we're using technology to scale and automate the delivery of healthcare-starting with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, which affect over 1.7 billion people worldwide.
