Program Manager, R&D OperationsActive$89K

The opportunity

We're looking for a Program Manager to join our R&D Operations team in Warsaw and own the end-to-end scheduling and coordination of our R&D Onboarding program - while driving additional operational programs that keep Asana's Product and Engineering teams running at their best.…

What you'll do

  • Own scheduling and coordination for R&D Onboarding: manage cohort planning, session logistics, presenter coordination, and calendar systems so every new hire across Product and Engineering has a smooth, consistent onboarding experience across time zones.

  • Maintain scalable program infrastructure by owning Asana projects, templates,: and tracking systems that keep onboarding and other R&D programs running reliably without needing to reinvent the wheel each cycle.

  • Measure program effectiveness: review current feedback loops and lightweight metrics to assess whether programs are working, and use that data to iterate and improve continuously.

  • Identify and close operational gaps by proactively spotting where: coordination is breaking down across team seams, proposing scalable fixes, and working with stakeholders to build buy-in and drive implementation.

  • Communicate clearly across R&D: keep people informed at the right cadence, produce clean status updates, maintain documentation in the internal knowledge base, and run tight meeting rhythms without creating overhead.

  • Drive execution of cross-functional R&D programs end-to-end: take ownership of 1–2 additional programs (e.g., feedback mechanisms, enablement sessions, operational rituals), shaping them from design through day-to-day execution.

What they're looking for

  • years of experience in project coordination, with a track record of owning: scheduling, logistics, and operational workflows across multiple stakeholders or workstreams in a fast-moving environment.
  • Strong organizational skills with sharp attention to detail: you can manage competing priorities across programs without letting things slip, and you take pride in building systems that others can rely on.
  • Clear, structured communication: you write crisp status updates, know how to keep stakeholders informed without overwhelming them, and can adapt your style for engineering, product, and leadership audiences.
  • Collaborative and cross-functional nature: you build trust easily with technical teams, work well without direct authority, and bring a low-ego, get-it-done approach to every workstream.
