Overview:
As Senior Program Manager in the Product organization, you will own the end-to-end delivery of strategic, high-impact programs across GitHub with your portfolio shaped by our evolving business priorities. Working cross-functionally with leaders from Product, Engineering, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success and other teams, you will build, lead, and deliver programs in an environment where the problem space is rarely fully defined. You thrive in ambiguity, set direction independently, and bring clarity and momentum where none yet exists.
This role demands hands-on proficiency with AI. You don't just talk about AI — you build with it. You are highly fluent in modern AI tools and know how to rapidly prototype AI-powered solutions to test ideas, accelerate delivery, and demonstrate what's possible.
As the right candidate, you have a proven track-record delivering highly strategic and complex programs in a fast-paced environment, along with the ability to articulate program vision, unite a cross-functional team, deliver against accelerated timelines, and proactively flag and mitigate risks. You are an exceptional communicator — both written and verbal with the executive presence to influence senior stakeholders. You are analytical and data-driven, a strategic thinker, a natural leader, and someone who builds relationships with ease.
