• Cross-Functional Partnership: Act as the central compliance TPM lead, facilitating and driving consensus across Legal, Security, Privacy, Data Engineering, and Product teams to mitigate distributed AI risks.
• Operational Excellence: Incorporate AI compliance program status into leadership risk management reporting and establish tracking and review processes for GenAI features and open-source (OSS) model usage.
• Program Efficiency & AI Tooling: Use AI to turn ambiguous, cross-functional inputs into crisp execution artifacts (charters, milestones, DRIs, launch readiness checklists, decision docs, exec-ready status) to keep the AI Risk Management portfolio moving fast while maintaining quality and compliance.

• Demonstrates judgment using AI in high-stakes + fast-moving environments (growth regressions, incidents, policy/compliance escalations) where outputs must be verified, and where you can influence partners to adopt repeatable, AI-enabled mechanisms (templates, playbooks, process hygiene) and tie AI workflows to business outcomes/ROI—not just “time-to-first-draft.”.
• 8+ years of experience as a technical program manager supporting Compliance or Trust & Safety Programs, or related experience
• Entrepreneurial spirit with strong leadership, who can develop and lead a new initiative from the ground up and thrive in ambiguity
• Passion for execution and getting things done
• Solid technical background and ability to quickly understand technical designs, challenges and risks. Experience breaking down complex problems and driving decision making.
• Strong analytical abilities, able to create & monitor metrics, proactively identify growth opportunities & incidents

• stakeholders or external partners
• Ability to influence teams & drive alignment among multiple stakeholders
