Full Job Description
LOCATION
  • Fort Mill, SC based opportunity with onsite collaboration expected.

WHAT THEY OFFER YOU
  • Opportunity to step into a highly visible role supporting AI, automation, data, and enterprise technology initiatives.
  • Ability to help shape how AI solutions are planned, governed, deployed, adopted, and measured across the business.
  • Exposure to executive stakeholders, technical leaders, business teams, and enterprise-wide transformation efforts.
  • A chance to bring structure, accountability, and delivery discipline to emerging AI and data-driven programs.
  • Opportunity to own meaningful project outcomes, not just status reporting or task tracking.

WHY THIS ROLE IS IMPORTANT
  • The organization is actively advancing AI-enabled initiatives and needs a strong functional PM to drive structure, execution, and adoption.
  • This person will lead planning, delivery, governance, risk management, stakeholder communication, and value realization across AI-related programs.
  • The role will help define business problems, gather requirements, develop use cases, and ensure AI solutions produce measurable business impact.
  • This person will coordinate across internal technology teams, data teams, business stakeholders, and third-party vendors to keep initiatives moving.
  • Success in this role requires someone who has built, implemented, deployed, or rolled out meaningful solutions for a business, not just managed technical tasks.

THE BACKGROUND THAT FITS
  • 5+ years of IT project or program management experience, ideally supporting data, analytics, automation, AI, or enterprise technology initiatives.
  • Strong functional Project Manager background with the ability to translate business needs into project plans, delivery roadmaps, and execution milestones.
  • Experience working across business, IT, data, engineering, cybersecurity, infrastructure, enterprise architecture, and vendor teams.
  • Comfortable managing scope, timelines, budgets, vendor spend, resource plans, dependencies, risks, and executive-level communication.
  • Experience with agile or hybrid delivery environments, including Jira or similar tools for backlog management, sprint reporting, dependencies, and project visibility.
  • Working knowledge of AI, machine learning, generative AI, automation, analytics, or data-driven initiatives is highly valuable.
  • Prior exposure to AI tools or LLMs such as Copilot, Claude, OpenAI, or similar platforms would be a strong plus.
