Founded in 2017, we've grown into a global community of over 18,000 members working to ensure that privacy protection and AI innovation reinforce each other rather than undermine one another. We are driven by a simple challenge: the most valuable data for solving humanity's greatest challenges remains locked away due to privacy concerns, and we can change that through technology rather than compromise.\nAbout the Role\nWe're looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to own how OpenMined plans, tracks, and ships its most ambitious work. Reporting to Ronnie Falcon, Chief Product Officer, you'll be the person accountable for timelines, dependencies, and delivery across our product, engineering, research, and partnerships teams.\nOpenMined runs several high-stakes efforts at once. ScreamingFace is an open-source toolkit for composing multiple LLMs into systems that beat any single frontier model, with a public leaderboard and a research fellowship. AI Oversight builds privacy-preserving infrastructure that lets AI labs, auditors, and safety institutes run evaluations without exposing models or data, with pilots alongside frontier labs. These efforts span multiple teams, tools, and funders, and they move fast under real research uncertainty.\nOur product leads decide what to build, and our tech leads decide how it's built. You'll own when and in what order it gets delivered. That means turning goals into milestones with real dates, keeping roadmaps current rather than rewriting them once a year, and making our tools a source of truth people trust. It also means telling leadership early when a date is about to slip and what the options are.\nThis is a technical role. You'll work daily with engineers and researchers on distributed systems, LLM infrastructure, and privacy-enhancing technologies. You don't need to write production code, but you need to understand the work well enough to break it down, spot risk, and challenge an estimate.\nWe're an AI-native team. Our engineers ship with AI coding agents, our main codebase releases several times a week, and our tools and habits keep evolving as AI does. We're looking for a seasoned technical program manager who has built and run project management practices for teams like this. You'll bring years of hands-on experience, use AI to make planning, tracking, and reporting faster and lighter, and help OpenMined become a team that is excellent at project management, not one that depends on a single person to do it.\nThis is a fully remote role for people based in the United States, working within one hour of US Eastern Time.\nResponsibilities\n Own delivery end to end for OpenMined's flagship initiatives (ScreamingFace and AI Oversight), from quarterly goals to milestones, dependencies, and release dates.\nDesign, run, and keep improving our project management practice for an AI-native team: planning, tracking, status reporting, and retros built around how engineers work with AI agents today, and updated as those tools change.\nBuild AI into how we manage projects: use and build AI agents and automations that draft status updates, summarize Linear, GitHub, and meeting activity, flag risks and stale work, and keep plans current with little manual upkeep.\nMake the whole team better at project management: set standards and templates, coach product and engineering leads, and grow project management skills across the team, laying the groundwork for future project management hires.\nTurn quarterly OKRs into dated, sequenced plans with product and engineering leads, and keep them current as research results and priorities shift.\nRun a living product roadmap that is reviewed on a regular cadence and can feed grant proposals and funder reports without a last-minute rewrite.\nBe the single accountable owner for cross-team dependencies when one initiative spans several boards, teams, or external partners, and chase down blockers yourself before they cause a slip.\n Own our project management tooling (Linear for engineering, Asana for cross-functional work): set conventions, cut noise, and make sure status in the tools matches reality.\nConnect code to plans: make sure work in GitHub links to Linear issues across all active repos, and keep PR review, release status, and repo ownership visible.\nTrack and report progress on milestones, cycle time, and OKR key results to leadership, and flag slipping dates early with clear trade-off options.\n Coordinate external deliverables such as partner pilots, program launches (e.g., our research fellowship), and grant milestones, so commitments to partners and funders are met.\nRequirements\nMust-Haves\n7+ years of technical project or program management, delivering complex software with product and engineering teams. Transferable experience, such as a software engineering background, will also be considered.\nBuilt or rebuilt a project management practice: set up planning cadences, tooling, and standards that a team kept using, earned buy-in through credibility rather than heavy process, and raised others' project management skills.\nHas shaped project management for AI-native teams: worked with engineers who build with AI coding agents, and changed processes as those workflows evolved.\nUses AI in their own project management work every day: has built or set up AI agents, automations, or workflows for status reporting, risk detection, planning, or tracker hygiene, and can show concrete results.\nDelivered under continuous shipping and technical uncertainty: R&D, ML/AI, infrastructure, or developer platforms with frequent releases and changing plans.\nTechnical foundation: a computer science or other technical degree, or 3+ years working as a software engineer. Comfortable reading code, PRs, and architecture docs.\nDeep, hands-on use of engineering trackers such as Linear, Jira, and GitHub. You've designed a team's workflow, not only used one.\n Clear, concise communication, written and spoken: you can explain status, risk, and trade-offs to engineers, executives, and funders.\nPreferred\nExperience working on a fully remote, distributed team.\nHas mentored or managed other project or program managers, or helped hire them.\nExperience with LLMs, AI evaluation, AI safety, or privacy-enhancing technologies.\nExperience at an early-stage startup or research lab where you built the delivery process from scratch.\nExperience managing grant-funded or partner-funded deliverables, such as reporting milestones to funders.\nExperience coordinating with external partners on pilots or integrations (e.g., AI labs, research institutions, government).\nOpen-source project experience, as a contributor or as a project or release manager.\nCompensation\nSalary Range: $123,000 - $218,000 per year.\nActual offers will be determined based on the candidate's skills, level of experience, and location.\nBenefits\n Mission-Driven Work: Be part of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, focused on social impact rather than profit, offering the chance to make a meaningful difference in the world.\n US employee benefits: Medical, dental, and vision insurance with company contributions; Retirement: 403(b) plan, the 401(k) equivalent for non-profits.\nOpen Source Contribution: Make a real impact by contributing to an Open Source project that benefits a broad community.\nCollaborative Global Team: Join a dynamic, international team that values collaboration and diversity.\nFlexible Work Hours: Enjoy the autonomy to structure your work hours around what best fits your life and productivity.\nFully Remote Work: Work remotely within the location requirements for this role.\n Flexible Paid Time Off: Take the time you need with flexible vacation days, alongside recognition of local national holidays.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7953,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Retirement plans","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T23:24:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:1","wave","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":218000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/openmined-senior-technical-program-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/openmined-senior-technical-program-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-02T04:23:57Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6451,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-03T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":174650},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=174650"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fopenmined-senior-technical-program-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fopenmined-senior-technical-program-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fopenmined-senior-technical-program-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/openmined-senior-technical-program-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fopenmined-senior-technical-program-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3490531}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"openmined.org","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3490531},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
