About the Role
Neo4j’s office is hiring a GenAI Program Manager who will operate as part of a centralized cross-functional team, reporting to the Chief of Staff.
As a Program Manager for GenAI, you'll drive complex cross-functional workstreams for our most critical initiative: making Neo4j the leading platform to build APIs, tools, and agents for GenAI applications powered by knowledge graphs.
