Program Manager – AI Help Experience
Canva
• Scale operational excellence: Proactively orchestrate collaboration across engineering, product, design and operations specialties — such as facilitating clear communication for delivery updates, clear documentation in confluence, discovery templates for discovery, facilitate agile retrospectives, and escalate early issue escalation to keep initiatives on track. • Action improvements from retrospectives and continuously improve best practices across teams. • Cross-team project & delivery support: Partner with group leads to translate scope of goal candidates into clear, actionable plans and goals during planning — while working with teams to see through their delivery across teams. This role may also own smaller initiatives or milestones to build out scalable processes, documents and presentations for diverse stakeholders. • Data reporting, projections & strategic opportunities: Deliver regular data‑driven reports and forecasts in Looker/Streamlit to inform group leadership decisions. For this they will help setup experiment tracking, analysis, and reporting of key projects across the group (e.g. costs modelling for AI impact). This role will surface delivery and scoping risks to recommend course‑corrections to teams, as well as strategic opportunities that improve our metrics in the long-term, such as building various scenario models to forecast AI cost and usage. • Generalist with can-do-attitude: Acts as the “Chief Wrangler”, aligning teams and providing visibility. They jump where needed to anticipate and unblock initiatives, while selflessly making sure the invisible work gets done. Identify and pilot AI-driven automation opportunities that reduce manual effort, improve visibility, and free teams to focus on high-impact work.
