About the role
Who you are
- 4+ years as an Engineering or Technical Program Manager, with at least some of that time spent at a startup or high-growth company where you built programs rather than inherited them
- Demonstrated experience running multiple simultaneous workstreams. You can hold a complex picture in your head, spot cascading risks early, and keep several parallel programs moving without losing the thread
- Strong executive communication: you know how to distil messy, multi-team status into crisp, decision-ready updates for senior leadership, and you know when to escalate versus resolve
- Fluency with AI/ML product development
- A builder's instinct: comfortable in ambiguous, low-structure environments where you're creating the process, not following it, and pragmatic enough to ship something imperfect rather than wait for perfect
- Cross-functional influence without authority: you've worked in roles where you had to align Finance, GTM, and engineering leads who all had different priorities, and you know how to move people without a mandate
- Experience working with or alongside technical leads: you can have a credible conversation about technical dependencies and constraints without needing things translated
- Building OKR or roadmapping systems from scratch in a scaling org
- Prior work inside an AI or LLM product company
- If some of the above doesn’t line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply!
What the job involves
- Our platform is expanding beyond a single product into a portfolio of new AI-powered product experiences. This is an early-stage, high-visibility program with multiple workstreams in flight.We're looking for an EPM to be the operating backbone of this program
- You'll report into our Product Engineering function. This is not a delivery coordination role; it's a program architecture role. You'll build the structure, rhythms, and visibility mechanisms that let multiple product teams and their cross-functional partners execute with clarity
- Own end-to-end release coordination for North, including managing release trains, defining cadences, and ensuring smooth execution across engineering and product teams
- Drive cherry pick and hotfix approval workflows, triaging urgency, aligning stakeholders, and shepherding changes through to deployment with appropriate guardrails
- Author and manage customer-facing release communications, translating technical changes into clear, accurate updates for enterprise customers and internal stakeholders
- Establish and scale release processes that allow North's teams to ship faster and with greater confidence as our platform grows
- Map cross-team dependencies and risks across the release pipeline, surfacing blockers early and coordinating resolution across engineering, product, and customer success
- Partner directly with North Leadership and Members of Technical Staff on efforts to improve release quality, velocity, and operational rigor
- Manage project tracking tools (Linear, GitHub workflows) and facilitate release planning sessions across cross-functional teams
- Respond quickly to program-level changes: clarifying scope, adjusting timelines, and marshalling the right resources when customer or market priorities shift
Benefits
- Six weeks’ paid vacation
- Equity / stock options
- RRSP, 401(k), and Pension Scheme contributions
- Coverage for 100% of your insurance premiums across health, dental, vision, and travel
- Additional coverage for accessing mental health providers/services
- Six months of fully paid parental leave, including adoption and surrogacy
- Financial support for egg freezing and IVF in Canada and the UK
- A monthly fitness and wellness allowance
- Globally dispersed company that supports a remote work culture
- A $2,000 annual education benefit for professional development
- A weekly stipend for meals when working remotely and catered lunch when working from one of our global offices
