Remote Public Health Program Manager Jobs in Berkeley, CA

Opportunity

Adapture Renewables, Inc. is on a mission to be a leader in this new era of sustainable energy. Drawing upon an extensive knowledge base, we develop, finance, engineer, build, own, and operate high quality utility-scale photovoltaic projects and battery energy storage projects. Our Technology team is looking for a talented Technical Program Manager to help support the efforts of our fast-growing company. Adapture Renewables is owned by KIRKBI - the private holding and investment company of the Kirk Kristiansen family founded to build a sustainable future for the LEGO brand through generations.

Overview

This position works across the Technology team to plan, sequence, and orchestrate the department's program portfolio so that engineers and architects can spend their time on the technical depth that only they can deliver. As ARI's Technology function is a multi-domain department spanning Systems & Cloud Infrastructure, Network, SCADA & OT, Cybersecurity, DevOps, and AI & Data. The coordination overhead of running concurrent programs: intake, sequencing, vendor orchestration, dependency tracking, risk surfacing, and executive reporting, requires a dedicated owner. The success measure for the role is engineering and architecture capacity redirected from coordination to technical depth. This role reports to the Director of Technology & Security. The candidate may be based remotely in the U.S., with periodic travel to our Bay Area home office and other company locations.

Core Responsibilities

• Own program intake for the Technology team: triage incoming work, partner with engineers and architects to size and sequence, and maintain a portfolio view of all active and queued initiatives.
• Lead cross-domain program coordination across Systems & Cloud Infrastructure, Network, SCADA & OT, Cybersecurity, DevOps, and AI & Data - owning the dependencies and seams between technical workstreams.
• Drive vendor and partner orchestration: SOW alignment, kickoffs, milestone tracking, escalations, and renewals across ARI's technology vendor ecosystem (MSPs, MSSPs, SaaS, OEMs, integrators).
• Surface and track program-level risks, dependencies, and decisions; escalate with clarity and recommendations rather than raw status.
• Maintain status and reporting cadences for the Technology team: weekly leadership updates, quarterly board-facing materials, and ad hoc executive briefings.
• Run the Technology team's intake-to-delivery workflow on ARI's existing Atlassian (Jira / Jira Service Management) and Smartsheet stack; tune the workflow as the team scales.
• Partner with Engineering, Construction, Asset Management, and Corporate Finance to align Technology delivery with business priorities and budget timing.
• Own change management communication for Technology-led initiatives that affect other departments.
• Support the Director of Technology & Security with budget tracking, vendor contract lifecycle, and Board-level material preparation.
• Continuously identify coordination work currently absorbed by engineers and architects and move it into the program management surface.

Qualifications and Experience

• 3-5 years in technical program management at a software, infrastructure, energy, or other technology-led organization with multiple concurrent programs.
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across multiple technical domains (e.g., infrastructure, networking, security, data, applications) without owning any single one.
• Strong vendor and partner management experience: SOW alignment, milestone enforcement, and escalation handling across multi-vendor environments.
• Technical fluency sufficient to read network diagrams, parse SaaS and cloud architecture, understand SCADA / OT concepts at a working level, and engage credibly with engineers and architects on scope and dependencies.
• Excellent written communication; able to translate technical detail into executive- and Board-level material that lands without losing fidelity.
• Hands-on experience with Atlassian (Jira / Confluence / Jira Service Management) and at least one work-management platform such as Smartsheet, Asana, or Monday.
• Comfortable operating without a heavy process scaffold; able to bring structure to ambiguous and rapidly-evolving work environments.
• Bachelor's degree in a technical or business discipline - or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• Preferred certifications: PMP, PgMP, or SAFe POPM.
• Energy, utility, renewables, or critical infrastructure experience is a plus.
• Periodic travel to the Bay Area home office and to operating sites as needed.

Benefits Package

• 401(k) plan with company matching contribution
• Competitive health, vision, and dental benefits
• Attractive personal time off and company holiday package
• Work-from-home policy
• Salary commensurate with experience
• $155,000 - 195,000, DOE
