About the role
LinkedIn's Talent Enterprise Engineering organization builds products that help members and enterprise customers experience career mobility. This role drives the strategy, planning, and execution of large-scale, cross-functional AI-driven engineering programs across the org. The Staff TPM partners closely with engineering, product, data science, and design on AI system design trade-offs, roadmap and resource planning, risk mitigation, and launch delivery.
What you will do
- Lead and drive end-to-end delivery of multiple concurrent, high-complexity AI-driven engineering programs across Talent Enterprise Engineering and LinkedIn — from scoping and roadmap planning through launch and post-launch measurement.
- Champion AI-native program management by using AI/LLM-based tools — for status synthesis, risk detection, meeting summarization, and roadmap drafting — to run leaner, faster program operations, and model this behavior for other TPMs in the org.
- Partner with engineering on AI system design trade-offs — model selection, latency/cost/accuracy balance, data pipelines, and evaluation frameworks — and translate those decisions into program risk and timeline impact.
- Own AI-specific program rigor, including responsible-AI review checkpoints, model evaluation and testing cycles, and compliance/privacy review gates that fall outside standard software launch checklists.
- Own the delivery of large, highly cross-functional programs by developing detailed plans with clear milestones and goals, leveraging technical depth to identify and mitigate risks, resolve dependencies, remove impediments, and ensure timely, smooth launches.
- Partner with engineering leads, architects, and product leaders to identify technical dependencies, risks, and critical path, and drive resolution across teams.
- Define and own program operating rhythms: planning cadences, milestone tracking, cross-team sync structures, and executive reporting.
- Drive bi-annual roadmap and resource planning, and lead teams through execution of roadmaps, releases, and backlogs.
- Drive alignment across orgs and stakeholders on scope, priorities, timelines, and trade-offs, and keep everyone informed on status, risks, and mitigation plans.
- Anticipate and proactively mitigate risks; surface gaps, unblock issues, and escalate blockers with clear, actionable recommendations.
- Foster a collaborative environment built on transparency, shared understanding, autonomy, innovation, and continuous learning.
- Coach and mentor others in modern technical program planning and execution best practices.
- Bring business-strategy understanding and strong product intuition to program decisions.
