Job Introduction

Liberty Mutual Technology's Global Digital Services organization is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Technical Program Manager (TPM) to lead program delivery for the AI Backbone, Liberty Mutual's shared enterprise foundation for AI. This role will focus on driving alignment, execution, and adoption across a broad ecosystem of stakeholders as the organization continues to expand and mature AI capabilities across the enterprise.

About The AI Backbone

The AI Backbone provides the shared capabilities, standards, and reusable services that enable teams across Liberty Mutual to build and deploy AI solutions consistently, securely, and efficiently. Rather than having individual teams create their own approaches to security, governance, observability, identity, and AI operations, the Backbone establishes a common foundation that accelerates delivery while reducing complexity and risk.

Supporting a broad spectrum of AI use cases, from generative AI applications to advanced agentic systems, the Backbone is designed to evolve alongside the rapidly changing AI landscape. It brings together shared technical capabilities, enterprise platforms, governance, and delivery partnerships to accelerate innovation, reduce risk, and enable AI adoption across Liberty Mutual.

The Role of this Technical Program Manager

The TPM joining this program will play a pivotal role in helping Liberty Mutual realize the full potential of AI as an enterprise capability. Working across a diverse ecosystem of technology, data, security, architecture, finance, and business stakeholders, this leader will drive alignment around shared priorities, informed decision-making, and the successful adoption of the capabilities, standards, and operating models that enable AI at scale.

This is a highly visible role with the opportunity to influence how Liberty Mutual scales and governs AI across the enterprise. The successful candidate will bring clarity and momentum to a rapidly evolving landscape, helping leaders make informed decisions while aligning efforts across teams, platforms, and strategic initiatives.

Success in this role requires exceptional program leadership, strong executive presence, and the ability to influence across a highly matrixed organization. The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking with technical curiosity and is comfortable engaging leaders across engineering, security, architecture, data, and business domains to translate enterprise AI strategy into coordinated action and measurable outcomes.

About The Job

This role is responsible for coordinating the planning, governance, and execution required to advance the AI Backbone and enable consistent adoption of shared AI capabilities across Liberty Mutual. The TPM will bring together stakeholders across technology and business domains, helping leaders make informed decisions, manage dependencies, and translate strategic priorities into measurable outcomes.

Strategic Planning and Execution: Develop and own the multi-year AI Backbone roadmap (Now / Next / Later), sequencing work across shared capabilities, contributing teams, and strategic initiatives. Define target outcomes, phase milestones, and readiness criteria while adapting plans as technologies, priorities, and enterprise needs evolve. Guide the evolution of the Backbone operating model from managed reuse toward federated adoption. Maintain an integrated program plan and delivery rhythm across workstreams, actively managing dependency health, milestone slippage, and re-sequencing as conditions change.
Enterprise Leadership and Alignment: Lead cross-functional planning, prioritization, and decision forums spanning Global Digital Services (GDS), Global Cyber Security (GCS), Enterprise Data & Data Science (ED&DS), Enterprise Architecture, Enterprise Observability, Finance, and lighthouse delivery teams. Foster shared accountability without direct reporting authority and establish consistent planning, reporting, and governance practices across participating teams. Set the execution quality bar for program and project leads working on AI initiatives across domains, and coach them toward consistent planning, risk, and reporting practices.
Vendor Management: Coordinate strategic technology partners including AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, Microsoft, Datadog, and Zscaler across evaluation, commitment, and scale-out decisions. Ensure build, buy, and partner strategies align with enterprise priorities, timelines, commercial objectives, and quality expectations.
Enterprise Adoption and Enablement: Drive adoption of shared AI capabilities, approved patterns, and production-readiness standards across teams with varying priorities, business needs, and risk profiles. Partner across the organization to promo
