You’ll keep scope, schedule, budget, risk, and quality in balance while keeping clients confident and informed.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage end-to-end delivery across multiple engagements, agile ceremonies, roadmaps, and iterative releases with measurable outcomes.

  • Meet regularly with clients representing our team, so strong client-facing skills are essential.

  • Translate business objectives into clear requirements and acceptance criteria; ensure tickets are unambiguous and testable. Demonstrated ability to produce logic (truth tables, etc).

  • Keep abreast of the rapidly developing use and deployment of AI tools and techniques, and collaborate with your team and company leadership to integrate this knowledge into our approach.

  • Coordinate across disciplines to ensure data readiness, evaluate and integrate AI model outputs, and ensure alignment with explainability, trust, and governance practices.

  • Plan and track work (milestones, risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies), budgets, and delivery signals (e.g., burnup/burndown, velocity).
