Senior Technical Program Manager, AGI Safety and Alignment, DeepMind

Responsibilities

• Dive into technical details, evaluating safety losses and metrics to confirm they accurately measure the target problems, and develop solutions where they fall short.
• Manage the full portfolio. Oversee a program spanning near-term model development through long-term research in AGI Safety, Alignment, and Control.
• Drive organizational efficiency. Streamline execution, implement tooling improvements, and proactively resolve blockers for research and engineering teams while partnering with technical leads on strategies that support team growth and culture.
• Coordinate across Gemini. Align groups (e.g., release, model behavior, training) on shared plans and timelines, building consensus and influencing outcomes without direct authority.
• Communicate upward. Manage high-visibility executive reviews, giving leadership clear, consistent visibility into program status and risk.
