Are you passionate about revolutionising engineering with AI?

Here at Monolith AI we’re on a mission to empower engineers to use AI to solve even their most intractable physics problems. For example, developing next-gen EV batteries that charge faster and last longer.

We experienced serious growth over the past year, and we have ambitious plans moving forward. It’s an exciting time, and for replacing our Head of Delivery during a planned absence we are looking for a Technical Program Manager for 12 months or more.

• Partner closely with other departments to ensure delivery scope and timelines are aligned across functions and serving company-level initiatives
• Define and scale delivery processes to support cross-functional collaboration, planning, and execution
• Maintain visibility of plans, risks, and delivery health for stakeholders and leadership
• Represent delivery needs, capacity, and trade-offs in leadership and cross-functional planning forums, in coordination with peers and the CTO
• Drive continuous improvement of delivery operations through retrospectives, feedback loops, and metrics
• Ensure comms are effective and calibrated to the right audience and granularity

• Confident in cross-functional collaboration , aligning delivery scope and timelines across teams.
• Experienced in scaling delivery processes , driving continuous improvement, and creating visibility for leadership on progress, risks, and capacity.
