• Partner directly with North leadership and Members of Technical Staff on efforts to design, develop and improve North's core capabilities and research bets

• Run cross-functional programs, collaborating and coordinating with Product, Engineering, Design, and Customer Success teams on delivering features on time and within scope, establishing feedback loops, and optimize resource distribution across competing priorities

• Map out dependencies and risks across the North ecosystem, ensuring smooth cross-functional execution while communicating status to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Have experience with AI/ML products or technical platforms

• Have a resourceful, can-do attitude and thrive in ambiguous, fast-paced environments where you can wear multiple hats and do whatever it takes to get things done

• Are comfortable with low structure, high impact situations where you can roll up your sleeves, be pragmatic, and function at both tactical and strategic levels to drive results, with proven ability to build processes, teams, or programs from scratch

• Have strong bias for action and can move quickly from problem identification to solution implementation

• Have experience with project management tools (Linear, Jira, etc.) and can effectively manage workflows and processes

• Have excellent communication skills for interfacing with both technical teams and business stakeholders across all levels of the organization

• Have experience working across multiple customer environments and triaging requests effectively
