Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Chalice AI is a profitable early-stage company focused on AI for advertising, and they are seeking their first dedicated Technical Project Manager. The role involves owning the cross-team execution of technical programs, managing dependencies, timelines, and risks to ensure successful delivery of initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Drive cross-team coordination: sequence work and clear dependencies across teams (e.g., a product feature touching frontend, backend, data engineering, ML, and SRE)
- Own program delivery end to end: take named initiatives — platform projects, internal tooling, infrastructure work, product launches — from kickoff through ship
- Own plans, timelines, and risk: maintain project plans and milestones, track and mitigate technical and delivery risk, and report clear status to leadership
- Own intake and capacity: run triage and routing in the Jira request portal — clarify, size, dedupe, and route requests to the right boards — and allocate capacity, with clear specs so async work doesn't stall
- Run the cross-team delivery sync: facilitate a Scrum-of-Scrums-style forum that executes against agreed priorities and bring real capacity and dependency data to the portfolio/roadmap sync
- Surface trade-offs: when two products contend for a shared resource, make the tradeoff visible with data so leadership can decide
