About the role
Phenom, an applied AI company, is hiring an associate technical program manager into our Big Bets teamthe group driving company-level strategic initiatives across engineering and product.
This is a foundational role built for a specific profile: an engineer who went to business school. If you have a B. Tech in Computer Science and an MBA from a premium institute, and you want to run large-scale engineering programs rather than pure strategy or consulting work, this is a rare fit. You will work directly with engineering leadership, with visibility to the SVP and co-founder level from day one.
Responsibilities:
- Structure and drive execution of cross-functional technical initiatives across multiple engineering teams.
- Translate ambiguous business problems into structured technical roadmaps and execution plans.
- Own program-level metrics, timelines, dependencies, and risk tracking.
- Influence product, engineering, and business stakeholders without formal authority.
- Build the frameworks, dashboards, and processes that bring scale and predictability to fast-moving programs.
Requirements:
- B. Tech in Computer Science or a closely related engineering discipline.
- MBA from a premium institute (IIM / ISB / equivalent tier-1 program).
- 0-2 years of experience; recent graduates and early-career professionals are welcome.
- Strong structured problem-solving ability and comfort operating in ambiguity.
- Technical fluency across APIs, cloud platforms, and SDLC: You do not need to code daily, but you must be able to hold your own in engineering discussions.
- Demonstrated experience driving something end-to-end with multiple stakeholders, whether a project, internship, venture, or initiative.
- Excellent written and verbal communication.
