We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that full-time employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments. This in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions

### About the role

Applied Intuition is scaling its Vehicle OS customer program team to support a growing portfolio of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) programs with a major global automotive OEM. We are looking for an Associate Customer Technical Program Manager to run the day-to-day execution layer of these programs - keeping scope, defects, dependencies, and delivery reporting accurate, and working directly with the customer’s program and engineering counterparts.

This is an early-career role for someone who wants to grow into full program ownership. You will work alongside and report to a Customer Technical Program Manager, owning defined workstreams - release scope tracking, defect and blocker management, requirements traceability, and recurring reporting - with increasing autonomy over time. You will be in customer meetings from your first week, and the quality of your tracking is what the program’s reporting is built on.

### At Applied Intuition, you will

Own the day-to-day health of the program backlog in Jira: translate customer requirements and change requests into well-formed, tracked tickets; maintain labels, scope tags, and release assignments; keep status, blockers, and blocked reasons accurate and current

Run defect and blocker management for the program - triage customer-reported issues, drive severity alignment, chase resolution across engineering teams, and prepare the recurring bug review with the customer

Track release scope and milestone readiness against the program plan, surfacing slips, at-risk features, and open dependencies early enough for someone to do something about them

Produce recurring program reporting: weekly status, delivery and story-point summaries, escalation trackers, sprint showcase material, and steering committee inputs

Serve as a working-level point of contact for the customer’s program and engineering counterparts on ticket status, scope questions, and dependency follow-ups

Maintain the program’s source of truth in Confluence - requirement-to-feature mappings, delivery trackers, decision logs, meeting notes, and the process documentation the rest of the team relies on

Support onsite integration, test bench, and bootcamp activities by coordinating schedules, logistics, and follow-ups across Applied and customer teams

Close loops: follow up across Slack, email, and standups until open questions are answered and commitments are written down somewhere durable

Look for the leverage - automate the reporting, grooming, and analysis work that would otherwise eat the week, so the program team spends its time on judgment calls instead of copy-paste

### We're looking for someone who has

1–3 years of experience in program or project management, engineering, technical consulting, or another technical customer-facing role. Strong new graduates with relevant internship experience will be considered
