### The Opportunity

The Program Manager owns the end-to-end delivery and execution of the onsite and in-the-wild data collection client programs, overseeing financial performance, client engagement, and cross-functional execution from pre-sales through delivery. This role is business-minded and delivery-focused: it requires deep operational excellence, client satisfaction, and strategic execution in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment where quality, throughput, and safety all matter simultaneously.

### Location & Flexibility

Our ideal candidate will work remotely out of Los Angeles, California. This role has required and regular travel to program facilities and field data collection sites.

### Responsibilities

### Program Ownership & Leadership

Own overall program performance, including financial health (forecasting, P&L, invoicing), delivery success, and client satisfaction.

Serve as the primary point of contact and escalation point for operational and client challenges, leading regular client syncs and on-site or virtual business reviews (weekly/quarterly).

Drive consistent reporting through weekly status updates, dashboards, and progress reviews to internal leadership and client stakeholders.

Lead and develop project teams with direct people management responsibility, monitoring performance metrics and productivity across teams and addressing gaps through coaching and development.

Collaborate with Legal and Liability to ensure onsite and in-the-wild collection activities meet compliance, safety, and insurance standards.

Work with Talent Acquisition to define hiring strategy and job profiles for collectors, including hybrid full-time, part-time (FTC/PTC), and crowd-based staffing models.

### Operational Strategy & Execution

Guide execution strategy across staffing, vendor engagement, equipment, and day-to-day operationsEvaluate and deploy the right mix of staffing models — full-time collectors, part-time collectors, and crowd-based resourcing — to match program scale, coverage needs, and cost targets.

Lead Project Managers to ensure timelines, budgets, and milestones are met across both facility-based and field collection workstreams.

Support facility sourcing, setup, and readiness for onsite data collection, and own logistics for in-the-wild collection sites.

Oversee procurement strategy for equipment and staffing to match approved program scope.

Support the launch of new workstreams and oversee integration of third-party contributions into the overall delivery model.

Proactively identify and mitigate delivery risks, recommending interventions or contingency plans to close gaps or resolve quality and yield issues before they affect the client.

### Cross-Functional Collaboration

Align Operations, Talent Acquisition, Legal, Finance, Quality, and vendors around a single delivery plan.

Partner closely with the client — translating their requirements on approach, calibration, and equipment into staffing plans, timelines, and budgets, and ensuring field execution reflects the agreed technical standard.
