When you join Appian, you'll be part of a passionate team dedicated to accomplishing hard things, together.

Appian is seeking a strategic and customer-focused Program Manager to lead key initiatives that strengthen the Public Sector customer experience.

This individual will work cross-functionally with sales, product, marketing, and support teams to create a seamless and impactful customer journey.
