About the role

Engineering Program Manager leading end-to-end execution of China-specific infrastructure programs within a global, matrixed environment. Serves as the primary program leadership point across engineering, business partners, vendors, and regional partners to connect China and US initiatives, manage dependencies, risks, and delivery across time zones and organizational boundaries.

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end execution across a complex, multi-team infrastructure portfolio in China.
  • Establish clear ownership, operating cadences, and consistent reporting to keep global and local teams aligned.
  • Serve as the primary liaison across engineering, regional business teams, vendors, and local partners, driving decisions, resolving conflicts, and removing blockers.
  • Own program plans, dependencies, critical paths, risks, KPIs, and executive-level reporting across the portfolio.
  • Drive alignment across the full technical lifecycle, from infrastructure provisioning and application development through deployment, handoff, and ongoing operations.
  • Partner with US stakeholders and China-based engineering teams to connect infrastructure and application workstreams and identify gaps early.
  • Lead complex migrations and deployments with phased rollout strategies, contingency plans, and strong change and scope management.
  • Proactively ensure technical handoffs are complete and dependencies are addressed before they become delivery risks.
  • Communicate complex technical programs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

Qualifications

  • Must be based in China and be a native Mandarin speaker, fluency in English for cross-language communication and reporting.
  • 5+ years of Technical Program or Project Management experience in fast-paced, global infrastructure, cloud, or AI/ML environments.
  • Ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous, rapidly evolving programs without over-structuring processes.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and able to operate independently with minimal oversight.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills for prioritization and cross-functional execution under tight timelines.
  • Deep understanding of operating in China, local business practices, cultural nuances, and regulatory requirements impacting delivery.
  • Demonstrated ability to bridge global strategy with local China execution across cultural and time-zone boundaries.
