Build the program architecture from scratch for Cohere's expanding portfolio of AI product experiences
This is an early-stage, high-visibility EPM role reporting into Product Engineering, tasked with building program infrastructure — roadmapping, status reporting, milestone tracking, dependency mapping — for a nascent multi-workstream program, not coordinating an existing one. It requires 4+ years of TPM/EPM experience, ideally including startup or high-growth environments, and strong cross-functional influence without authority.
