About The Position

Accrete is an agentic managed services company: an AI workforce that does high-stakes, judgement-heavy work for government and enterprise clients — at the economics of software, not labor. At the core is Accrete’s Knowledge Engine, a dynamic context graph that captures an organization’s tacit knowledge, resolves data across silos, and builds a living, auditable ground truth. Expert agents reason against that ground truth to act on complex, high-stakes decisions — not just answer questions about them. From national security to commercial operations, Accrete delivers the work on one platform, with unlimited expert agents and expert judgement. As a Technical Program Manager, you will be responsible for coordinating the delivery of complex technology programs from planning through deployment. You will work closely with software engineers, AI/ML teams, product managers, government customers, and leadership to ensure projects remain aligned with technical requirements, customer objectives, timelines, and budgets. This is a highly execution-oriented role. You should be comfortable communicating and managing high-touch relationships with Government Senior Executives, Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer Technical Representatives, and industry partners. You will be expected to direct and manage technical teams, understand “the realm of the possible” with AI software, AI development lifecycles, identify project risks, manage dependencies, and translate customer requirements to technology implementation teams inside and outside of Accrete. The ideal candidate is organized, technically fluent, and able to operate effectively in a fast-moving environment where priorities and requirements can evolve.
