Reporting to the Director of ARM, the Principal Program Manager will ensure the enterprise data, analytics, and technology initiatives ARM depends on deliver what our teams need to make decisions more effectively and efficiently.

This role collaborates extensively across the company to translate ARM’s needs into clear requirements, shape enterprise initiatives early, and integrate the resulting capabilities into ARM’s core workflows.

The role will also facilitate the team’s adoption and proficiency with enterprise AI/ML tools and, working closely with ARM’s Principal Program Manager for Advanced Technology, lead the integration and scaling of new technologies once they have been successfully tested and piloted.
