Department Overview

Information Systems Technology Services is a unified organization comprised of various departments which collaborate effectively in order to deliver high quality technology solutions.

This role will own strategy, execution support, and day‑to‑day program management for Enterprise AI initiatives, including the AI Accelerator, AI Factory, and related GenAI efforts. The Program Manager will serve as a stable internal owner responsible for collaborating with leadership to build strategy, translating strategy into executable plans, driving cross‑functional alignment, and ensuring consistent delivery as the Accelerator evolves from initial stand‑up into sustained operation and scale.

The role balances execution and planning: overseeing active AI programs while also helping leadership define next steps, sequence priorities, and align stakeholders as the enterprise AI operating model continues to mature.

This position is hybrid, working from your remote office and Oakland, CA based on business needs or company requirements.
