Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Engine is an all-in-one travel and spend management platform transforming business travel through proprietary technology and AI-forward solutions. The Staff Program Manager will lead complex, multi-team initiatives, define operating models, navigate ambiguity, drive AI and automation adoption, and improve execution across the broader Business Operations organization.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end execution across one or more complex, multi-team initiatives — setting direction, sequencing the work, and making the right tradeoffs with precision
• Build and evolve operational approaches — when established playbooks don't apply, you develop new ones and make them repeatable
• Understand how systems and teams connect — you think strategically across functions, not just within the initiative you're running
• Resolve complex, ambiguous situations using deep knowledge and sound judgment — you leverage experience and context, not just process
• Develop and maintain trusted cross-functional relationships that drive real collaboration — you steer conversations toward outcomes that are bigger than any one team
• Model clear, direct communication and coach others through difficult stakeholder situations — you don't just communicate well, you raise the bar for how the whole team does
• Lead AI and automation adoption across your initiatives — redesigning workflows to eliminate low-value work, with sharp judgment on what to automate, what to retool, and what to abandon
• Guide the development of tools, guidelines, and methods that improve how the broader PGM pool operates
• Partner with BizOps leadership to ensure initiative health is visible in company-level reporting and planning cycles

Skills

• Deep program management expertise with a track record of leading complex, multi-team initiatives to completion — you've done this across different orgs and contexts
• Sound judgment in high-ambiguity situations — you separate signal from noise, make decisions with incomplete information, and evolve your approach when the situation demands it
• Strong cross-functional instincts and trusted relationships — you keep business priorities front and center and steer toward outcomes greater than yourself
• A builder's mindset — you don't just run inside existing systems, you improve them; you develop guidelines, tools, and methods that make others better
• Clear, direct communicator who models and coaches — you translate complexity into crisp updates and help teammates navigate uncertainty and conflict
• AI-forward operator — you identify leverage in your domain, test confidently, and build toward scalable, repeatable approaches
• High-growth tech or SaaS experience strongly preferred

Benefits

• Opportunities for bonuses, commissions, and equity
• Whether you are in one of our amazing offices or fully remote, we’ll make sure you have what you need to succeed.
