Genies is an avatar technology company powering the next era of interactive digital identity through AI companions. With the Avatar Framework and intuitive creation tools, Genies enables developers, talent, and creators to generate and deploy game-ready AI companions. The company's technology stack supports full customization, AI-generated fashion and props, and seamless integration of user-generated content (UGC). Backed by investors including Bob Iger, Silver Lake, BOND, and NEA, Genies' mission is to become the visual and interactive layer for the LLM-powered internet. As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Genies, you'll partner with product, design, engineering, and leadership teams to help define, coordinate and execute across our product verticals. You're the connective tissue and facilitative leader: setting goals, aligning teams, resolving roadblocks, and enabling teams to deliver with clarity and speed. You'll work closely with our Senior Technical Owner(s) (STOs) and other stakeholders to drive planning, kickoff, shipments, and issue-resolution-while continually improving how we collaborate, communicate and work together.

Help teams set and align on goals, milestones and smaller work deliverables that tie back to Genies' major company vision.
Collaborate with technical teams, product/design, leadership and all stakeholders to lead company roadmap initiatives across all product verticals.
Work with technical leads and stakeholders to find the right balance between user-facing product roadmaps and underlying technical roadmaps, ensuring alignment of deliverables.
Assist in creation of resourcing charts to manage team-member capacity (including product, design, technical art and engineering resources).
Work with Product, Engineering and relevant stakeholders to manage engineering requirements necessary for feature delivery - making sure engineering is aware of requests, implementation work, QA/troubleshooting, and that prioritization is aligned between Product and Engineering.
Have a strong understanding of business requirements and goals to help teams navigate prioritization challenges and assist in solutioning.
In collaboration with STOs and team members: ensure goals, timelines and deliverables are kept up to date (for example in Asana), including weekly progress updates.
Collaborate with team members to remove roadblocks or challenges when encountered. This includes working with teams and cross-functional stakeholders to identify available solutions + pros/cons, and drive change management - communicate to the appropriate team members, update documentation and other surfaces accordingly.
Focus on continuously improving our workflows - including communication and collaboration within and between cross-functional teams.

5-8+ years of relevant experience in technical program management, product operations, or program delivery within a fast-moving, high-impact tech organization.
Experience driving complex, cross-functional programs - you've led initiatives that span product, design, and engineering, bringing clarity and alignment across multiple workstreams.
Strong technical fluency - you understand how systems fit together, can translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, and know when to dive into details versus zoom out to strategy.
Exceptional organizational and communication skills - you can distill ambiguity into clear plans, facilitate decision-making, and communicate progress, risks, and trade-offs with confidence.
A bias toward action and iteration - you're comfortable making judgment calls, unblocking teams fast, and iterating on process rather than getting stuck in process.
Empathy for both Product and Engineering - you respect the creative and technical sides of building, and you're skilled at balancing user needs with technical realities.
Experience with planning tools and frameworks - you've worked in Asana, Jira, or similar systems, and understand how to track velocity, dependencies, and delivery.
A systems-thinking mindset - you naturally spot patterns, inefficiencies, and opportunities to improve how teams communicate and deliver.
Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change - you thrive in evolving environments, where priorities shift and teams need adaptable leaders.
Proven ability to influence without authority - you get buy-in through clarity, trust, and strong relationships, not formal power.

You'll work with a team that you'll be able to learn from and grow with, including support for your own professional development
You'll be at the helm of your own career, shaping it with your own innovative contributions to a nascent team and product with flexible hours and a work from home policy
You'll enjoy the culture and perks of a startup, with the stability of being well funded
Comprehensive health insurance for you and your family (Anthem + Kaiser Options Available), Dental and Vision Insurance
Competitive salaries for all full time employees
Unlimited paid time off, sick time, and paid company holidays, in addition to paid parental leave, bereavement leave, and jury duty leave for full-time employees
Health & wellness support through programs such as monthly wellness reimbursement
Working in a brand new, bright, open-environment and fun office space - there's even a slide!
