Project Manager
Summary
Launch Manager on Intermedia's Data & AI team: owns end-to-end go-to-market launches of the company's AI products — building launch plans, coordinating stakeholders across marketing, sales, support, and training, and reporting launch readiness to senior leadership. It's a coordination/communication role, not engineering project management.
Launch Manager – AI
Are you highly organized, proactive, and energized by bringing people together to deliver a shared goal? Do you thrive on turning a complex, multi-team effort into a clear plan and driving it to a successful outcome? If so, Intermedia’s Data & AI Product Management team is seeking a Launch Manager to own the go-to-market launch of our next generation of AI products – one of the most visible and cross-functional roles on the team.
What success looks like in your first 6 months
- You know the landscape. You understand our AI products well enough to explain them to any audience, and you know who owns what across marketing, sales, support, training, solution architects, and docs.
- The launch calendar is yours. There’s a single, up-to-date view of what’s launching when — with owners, dependencies, and lead times — and people rely on it.
- You’ve run a launch. You’ve coordinated at least one launch end-to-end, keeping every workstream aligned and on schedule through to a clean release.
- A cadence is in place. A regular check-in and communication rhythm exists, so stakeholders always know what they need to do and by when.
- Leadership trusts your read. You give execs a concise, accurate picture of launch status and risks — and they come to you for it.
Launch readiness is a topic our executives care about, and you will be their trusted point of contact for it. You will report launch status directly to senior leadership, present timelines and readiness in leadership forums, and give our executives the clear, concise picture they need to make decisions. This is a rare opportunity early in a career to work alongside leaders across the company, build genuine relationships with the executive team, and be recognized as the person who makes launches happen – visibility that can open significant doors for your future at Intermedia.
- Own and maintain launch plans for AI products – project plans and spreadsheets capturing timelines, owners, dependencies, and required lead times for each task.
- Map the stakeholders involved in each launch and run a clear communication cadence so everyone knows what they need to do and by when.
- Track go-to-market readiness across the business – marketing, sales, support, training, solution architects, documentation, and more – and keep it all moving toward the launch date.
- Provide clear, well-organized direction to stakeholders and follow up proactively and diplomatically to keep commitments on track.
- Report launch status, risks, and delivery dates to senior leadership, and present readiness in leadership forums.
- Coordinate usability testing and customer feedback sessions by connecting product teams with customers, solution architects, and other stakeholders, and organizing the logistics.
- Run launch checklists, go/no-go reviews, and post-launch retrospectives to continuously improve how we launch.
- Build a strong working understanding of the products so you can communicate credibly with any audience, from engineers to executives.
- Enough familiarity with AI products to explain them credibly to any audience; deep technical or model-building knowledge is not required.
- 1–2 years of experience in a role that rewards strong organization and coordination – for example project or program coordination, product ownership, business operations, launch or event management, an internship, or a similar cross-functional role. We’re open to high-potential candidates early in their careers.
- A track record of keeping multiple workstreams, owners, and deadlines on track at once, with excellent attention to detail.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to tailor a message to any audience, from individual contributors to senior executives.
- Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative, outgoing style; you build trust quickly and enjoy working across teams.
- A proactive, self-starting mindset – you take ownership, anticipate what is needed, and follow through without being asked.
- Confidence and professionalism when engaging and presenting to senior stakeholders.
- Comfort working with globally distributed teams, with strong asynchronous communication skills.
- Upper-intermediate or higher English proficiency.
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience.
- Exposure to go-to-market, product marketing, or launch/event coordination (including internships or university projects).
- Experience with planning and collaboration tools (e.g. Smartsheet, Jira, Asana, Monday).
- Familiarity with UCaaS/CCaaS or other SaaS products.
- Familiarity with modern AI concepts or products.
