Technical Program Manager, Red Team
About the role
Technical Program Manager responsible for day-to-day partnerships with frontier model developers within Scale's Red Team and Safety function. A hands-on, technically curious role partnering with research, operations, and go-to-market to manage engagements from scoping to delivery and contribute to public benchmarks and roadmap.
Responsibilities
- Own a portfolio of frontier-lab partnerships day-to-day. Run customer conversations, scope new engagements, and grow accounts from one-off projects into ongoing scope.
- Act as a credible subject-matter expert in customer conversations; explain adversarial methodology, vulnerability taxonomies, benchmark findings, and what they imply commercially, in language that lands with technical buyers.
- Partner with Enterprise and Public Sector account teams to qualify and close opportunities where safety, red teaming, or LLM-based cyber security are part of the deal.
- Coordinate delivery with research and operations leads. Make sure scope, capacity, and timelines line up before we commit, and unblock the team as engagements run.
- Contribute to public benchmark launches. Help shape the framing, the rollout, and the narrative we take to customers and the field.
- Feed signal back into the roadmap. Surface what customers are asking for, what is breaking, and what we should build next.
Qualifications
- Working fluency in model behavior, adversarial ML, and AI safety, enough to hold a substantive conversation with researchers and ML engineers.
- Experience managing technical accounts or partnerships, ideally with frontier AI labs, large enterprises, or federal agencies.
- Genuine interest in AI safety, evidenced in prior work, writing, or research.
- Strong written and verbal communication and the ability to translate between research and commercial audiences.
- Operational rigor; you scope carefully, track commitments, and keep complex engagements moving.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward action.
Skills
Benefits
- compensation packages include base salary, equity, and benefits; comprehensive health, dental and vision coverage; retirement benefits; a learning and development stipend; generous PTO; commuter stipend (potential).
