You can read design docs and challenge assumptions.\nExperience with LLM/multimodal model adoption, such as adapting open-source models, evaluation frameworks, and migrating workloads between model providers, is a strong plus.\nProven ability to partner with VP and Director-level leaders in Product and Engineering and influence strategy and prioritization.\nExperience designing planning processes and governance (annual and multi-half planning) across several organizations.\nStrong analytical skills: SQL, dashboards, and using data from experiments and evaluations to drive decisions.\nComfort with high ambiguity, rapidly changing technology, and cross-functional work with Legal, Privacy, and Safety partners.\nExceptional written and verbal communication, including nuanced technical concepts for executive audiences.\nDemonstrated ability to build and scale processes, and to use AI tools to automate program management.\nIn-Office Requirement Statement:\nWe recognize that the ideal environment for work is situational and may differ across departments.
