Senior Program Manager - New York BenevolentAI
New York, NY

Job Description

As a Senior Program Manager, you will be responsible for managing our early drug discovery projects - specifically, the deployment of our technology to identify novel drug targets in disease areas of interest. You will organise projects with highly motivated technology and drug discovery teams that are geographically, culturally, and technologically diverse, and spare no effort to make the biggest impact they can against disease.

For each project, you will work closely with a small leadership team representing the key areas of the business (drug discovery, data science, engineering); and you will coordinate the activities of a broader group of north of a dozen highly skilled individual contributors.

You will plan and execute projects where multiple stakeholders, dependencies, and outcomes must be identified, tracked and reported on. You will create structured action plans and timelines, work with partners across time zones to determine resource needs, propose priorities, and identify and manage risks. You will communicate clear and actionable deliverables, as well as keep individuals accountable for their work.

Your role is critical in realising the potential of our technology. Your success is directly tied to our success as a company: the projects you will manage are the heart of our activity. Come help us!
