Senior Program Manager

Inizio Evoke•San Francisco, CA

11h•$140,000 - $170,000•Remote

About The Position

We're looking for a Senior Program Manager to run the operating rhythm of Operatev — Inizio Evoke's enterprise AI platform — from the inside out. This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role responsible for keeping the program on schedule and its status transparent. You'll own the connective tissue: sequencing work across Product, Development, Change & Enablement, Support, Operations, Business Transformation, and Commercialization so that nothing blocks on an unowned handoff and everyone is working from the same picture of where things stand. You will sit at the center of a program that is building and rolling out a platform to 1,200 people. That means competing priorities, real dependencies, and a delivery pace that doesn't slow down. You will bring strong program management fundamentals in a product development environment, thrive on clarity and structure, and know how to translate complex cross-functional realities into reporting that actually drives decisions. This is a remote role reporting to the Program Lead.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in program management, delivery management, or PMO leadership — ideally within a technology platform, transformation, or product delivery context
Experience running formal planning cycles (quarterly or release-based) and translating outputs into trackable commitments
Track record of building and maintaining executive-level reporting that is trusted and acted on
Comfortable managing budget and resource visibility — not ownership, but accurate tracking and surfacing of variance
Strong program and project management fundamentals — dependency mapping, risk management, stage gates, and cadence management
Highly organized: you make things visible, structured, and easy to act on
Strong written and verbal communication; able to translate complexity into clean reporting without losing accuracy
Comfortable operating in agile/iterative environments where priorities shift and the plan evolves
Skilled facilitator — able to run productive cross-functional forums without letting them drift
You keep things moving without needing to own everything
You surface problems early and bring them forward with enough context for a decision
You enforce standards consistently — not rigidly, but reliably
You understand the difference between tracking and deciding, and you stay in your lane while making it easy for others to stay in theirs

Responsibilities

Own Cross-Team Sequencing: Map dependencies across functions — what depends on what, in what order — and monitor progress against that sequence.
Ensure handoffs are owned, surface unresolved blockers early, and drive items to closure or escalation.
Maintain visibility into the implications of sequencing decisions for Product, Development, and all downstream functions.
Run the Quarterly Planning Cycle: Gather functional inputs across all workstreams.
Facilitate commitment-setting and document outcomes.
Translate quarterly commitments into trackable milestones and hold functions accountable to them.
Track Program Resourcing: Maintain visibility into where capacity is going against what's committed and manage the program's calendar to proactively address capacity challenges.
Surface trends and anomalies to program leadership before they become problems.
Oversee recruitment process, meeting with talent acquisition for updates and ensuring timely progress through stakeholder participation.
Set and Hold Stage Gate Standards: Define the gates work passes through and what evidence clears each one.
Keep functional cadences in sync without taking over internal functional processes (sprint practices, capability lifecycle, etc.).
Run Delivery Forums: Facilitate the weekly initiative update and risk review.
Maintain the risk register and drive items to resolution or escalation.
Track progress against quarterly commitments and hold the reporting cadence.
Define Reporting Standards: Establish and maintain the data taxonomy that governs how each function reports its metrics.
Ensure functional outputs roll into one consistent program-level picture rather than competing narratives.
Own Executive Reporting: Prepare and deliver the synthesized program view for executive and steering committee audiences.
Surface where delivery reality constrains what's being asked — clearly and with context.
