Cornerstone is seeking a Technical Program Manager to support the delivery of our AI product initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of engineering execution and product coordination, helping ensure that cross-functional programs are well-organized, clearly communicated, and delivered with quality and on schedule.

You will work closely with Product Management, Engineering, and Design to coordinate planning, track progress, and help remove blockers across a defined product area. You are organized, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where requirements evolve and collaboration is constant.

This role sits within a global organization and requires strong cross-functional partnership across engineering, go-to-market, and operations teams.

- Maintain program-level roadmaps, delivery timelines, and status updates, keeping stakeholders informed and work moving forward.

- Partner with engineering and product leads to understand technical requirements and surface anything that could impact delivery timelines.

- Track program health using standard metrics sprint velocity, milestone attainment, open risks and communicate status clearly to the team and stakeholders.

- Facilitate agile ceremonies including sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives, helping teams operate efficiently and continuously improve.

- Support coordination of experimentation programs (A/B tests, phased rollouts) in partnership with Product and Engineering teams.

- Help define and execute release readiness checklists, including QA sign-off, compliance checkpoints, and go-live criteria.

- Track third-party and vendor dependencies that intersect with program timelines and flag issues proactively.

- Contribute to post-launch retrospectives and help teams apply learnings to future delivery cycles.

- Enough technical fluency to follow engineering conversations, ask good questions, and communicate technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.

- Solid understanding of agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) and program management fundamentals including planning, risk tracking, and dependency management.
