Full Job Posting

WHO YOU ARE

  • We are an AI-first company. This means you approach your work with a growth mindset and find ways to leverage AI to help make faster, smarter decisions that will 10X your impact at Box.
  • You use AI to accelerate work you already know how to do: drafting, summarizing, analyzing, and automating. You can independently evaluate, correct, and take accountability for anything AI produces.
  • You have 2 or more years of hands on program management experience with technology, IT, business systems, or cross-functional projects, with demonstrated ability to manage project plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and stakeholder communication.
  • You bring clear, concise written and verbal communication skills, strong meeting facilitation abilities, and the capacity to turn discussion into decisions and action.
  • You have working knowledge of Agile practices, Scrum, or Kanban, with comfort working with changing priorities while maintaining visibility and structure.
  • You take ownership of your work without needing constant direction, are comfortable asking for help when context or authority is unclear, and can distinguish between coordinating a problem and owning the problem yourself.
  • You can independently build and defend a project plan, run a risk and dependency analysis, and make scope, timeline, and escalation recommendations based on your own professional judgment.
  • You have experience with Jira or a similar project management platform, strong comfort with spreadsheets, dashboards, documentation tools, and collaboration platforms, and willingness to learn new tools and use automation or AI to make routine work more efficient.
  • You are curious about how systems, processes, and organizations work, receptive to feedback, and interested in growing from strong project execution into broader program ownership over time.
  • Box lives its values, with community and in-person collaboration being a core part of our culture. Boxers are expected to work from their assigned office a minimum of 3 days per week. Your Recruiter will share more about how we work and company culture during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

  • You will own assigned projects and workstreams, leading lower-to-mid complexity IT projects from intake through closeout with practical delivery plans covering scope, milestones, dependencies, risks, decisions, and success criteria. You are accountable for the quality of your plans, status, and recommendations, regardless of the tools used to produce them.
  • You will coordinate across technical and business partners to keep work moving and facilitate project meetings and working sessions that result in clear decisions and next steps.
  • You will maintain accurate project status and communicate changes early, supporting project intake, planning, and portfolio data quality through Jira, Airtable, Box, and other PMO tools.
  • You will prepare status reporting, dashboards, and metrics for review by senior PMO team members and help ensure project documentation is complete, current, and proportional to the complexity of the work. You can explain and stand behind every number, risk, and status call in your reporting.
  • You will help IT Operations teams maintain healthy backlogs and clear work definitions, supporting Kanban practices, flow visibility, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.
  • You will identify recurring friction, gaps, or manual work in project delivery and suggest practical improvements, using Jira, Airtable, AI tools, and automation to reduce repetitive work and improve visibility.
  • You will identify risks, dependencies, and delivery concerns early, knowing when to resolve an issue independently, when to consult the PMO, and when a decision belongs with a functional manager or leadership.
  • You will partner with senior Program Managers on more complex programs and workstreams, building deeper capability in program management, portfolio thinking, Agile practices, and stakeholder leadership.
