Project Manager - Senior Manager

Job Title:   Officer - Project Manager - AI Team (Overall 8-12 Years Experience)

Role Description: 
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Project Manager to lead and coordinate AI projects involving both traditional AI/ML and Generative AI (GenAI) use cases. The ideal candidate will have 8-12 years of professional experience in technology project management, with demonstrable success managing end-to-end delivery of AI/ML solutions. You will drive project execution in partnership with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and platform teams, ensuring timely and high-quality outcomes that align with business objectives.

Roles & Responsibilities: Lead and manage multiple AI/ML and GenAI project streams from initiation to delivery, including planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Work closely with Data Science Leads, AI/ML Engineers, and stakeholders to define project scope, goals, deliverables, and success metrics for AI use cases (including LLM, RAG, and agentic applications). Develop and maintain detailed project plans, resource allocation, timelines, and budgets, proactively identifying and mitigating risks. Coordinate and facilitate cross-functional collaboration between data science, engineering, product, and business teams for seamless project delivery. Oversee project governance, status reporting, and stakeholder communication; ensure transparency on project progress, blockers, and outcomes. Track and ensure adherence to AI/ML project best practices, experimentation discipline, model evaluation, and compliance requirements. Support the transition of models from experimentation to production by coordinating with platform and engineering teams (packaging, APIs, deployment, monitoring). Foster a culture of continuous improvement, knowledge sharing, and innovation within the AI team. Stay current with advancements in AI/ML, GenAI, and project management methodologies to introduce best practices. Manage vendor/partner relationships, where applicable, to supplement internal project delivery. Support project-level quality assurance, compliance (including model risk, privacy, and security), and documentation efforts.

Core/Must Have Skills: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field. 8-12 years of overall experience in technology project management, with at least 3+ years managing AI/ML projects (including GenAI/LLM use cases). Strong understanding of the AI/ML project lifecycle: problem framing, experimentation, model development, evaluation, productionization, and monitoring. Proven track record of managing cross-functional teams and delivering complex AI projects on time and within budget. Hands-on experience working with data science, engineering, and business teams. Familiarity with traditional ML, LLMs/GenAI, RAG, and agentic application concepts (you are not expected to code, but should understand the delivery lifecycle and technical terminology). Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and presentation skills. Strong organizational, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. Experience with project management tools (e.g., Jira, MS Project, Confluence).

Good to Have Skills: Certification in Project Management (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2, Agile/Scrum). Exposure to model governance, AI/ML risk, compliance, and privacy/security considerations. Experience managing projects involving RAG, agent frameworks, or agentic applications. Understanding of prompt engineering, model evaluation frameworks, and experimentation tracking. Experience in regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) is a plus. Familiarity with DevOps/MLOps concepts, CI/CD pipelines for AI/ML assets.
