Job Summary

About the Role

The Applied AI teams job is to make AI a trusted co-pilot for every Chimer so Chime moves faster and builds better. As Program Manager AI Enablement you own the programs that make that happen: the networks resources and rhythms that move Chimers from knowing AI tools exist to actually changing how they work. This is a program ownership role not a coordination role. You come in with a problem and a scope and you come back with the shape: narrative roadmap milestones success metrics operating cadence. The programs you run should be able to survive a week without you.

The base salary offered for this role and level of experience will begin at $138000.00 and up to $190000.00. Full-time employees are also eligible for a bonus competitive equity package and benefits. The actual base salary offered may be higher depending on your location skills qualifications and experience.

In this role you can expect to:

  • Own cross-functional AI enablement programs end-to-end (e.g. AI Champions network onboarding and activation programs): design operating cadence stakeholder activation and fluency outcomes
  • Go deep on workflow problems before proposing solutions spend time understanding whats actually slowing teams down then design programs and tools that address the root cause
  • Partner directly with teams to build AI-enabled solutions not just roll them out but get hands-on in the design and build alongside the people doing the work
  • Set the health model for your programs from day one success metrics milestones and status that lives on shared surfaces without anyone having to ask
  • Drive adoption of AAI-built tools and resources so Chimers can level up without going through AAI every time
  • Build and maintain self-serve enablement resources (e.g. playbooks golden paths) that orgs can use independently
  • Lead change management for AI enablement work training comms and activation that shifts behavior not just awareness
  • Build documentation and governance into programs from the start so nothing depend on you being in the room
  • Measure whether Chimers are actually working differently (fluency progression adoption signals and productivity tied to company goals) and report that to leadership
  • Foster collaboration between Product Engineering BizOps and People teams to operationalize the future of work at Chime.

To thrive in this role you have:

  • 5 years of experience in program or project management preferably in a fast-paced tech environment.
  • Experience taking ambiguous problems and building a program around them; narrative roadmap milestones and operating cadence without waiting for structure to be provided
  • History of driving behavior change not just program completion and the judgment to know the difference between a launch and a result
  • Hands-on experience building or automating workflows using AI tools able to walk through something personally built what broke and what changed as a result.
  • Experience owning large distributed programs without direct authority over participants and keeping them activated and accountable
  • Communication habits that keep stakeholders informed without them having to ask status on shared surfaces not surfaced reactively
  • Experience defining program health models upfront: success metrics milestones and measurement built in before launch not retroactively
  • Comfort spending time in a problem before designing a solution
  • Familiarity with common productivity or workflow tools (e.g. Jira Asana Notion etc)

Preferred qualifications:

  • Experience running ambassador champion or CoE programs; groups where you had no direct authority over participants but were accountable for their activation and outcomes
  • Background in enablement L&D or change management in a technology environment
  • Experience in an internal AI or enterprise AI adoption role
  • Hands-on experience with AI tooling (e.g. ChatGPT Glean Claude Cursor Gemini)
  • Background in product operations business operations or technical program management.
  • Working knowledge of AI governance or Responsible AI principles.
