Job Overview:

As part of the AI & Developer Platforms group, you will lead the Project Management team responsible for turning strategy into execution across a portfolio of complex initiatives spanning AI platforms, developer tools, software infrastructure, and ecosystem enablement.

We are looking for a delivery leader who can shape how a global software organization plans, prioritizes, governs, and delivers strategic work. You will define and evolve the operating model for project and portfolio delivery across AI & Developer Platforms, creating the planning frameworks, execution practices, risk management approaches, and leadership visibility needed to deliver with clarify, speed and accountability.

You will partner closely with engineering, product management, UX, business operations, ecosystem, and leadership teams to align priorities, resolve trade-offs, and ensure we deliver meaningful business, customer, and developer outcomes.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the Project Management field across AI & Developer Platforms, setting standards for planning, governance, implementation, risk management, and delivery excellence.
  • Lead, develop, and support a distributed team of Project Managers, building capability, consistency, and career growth across the function.
  • Own the operating rhythm for AIDP delivery, including quarterly planning, portfolio reviews, execution reviews, blocking issue management, and leadership reporting.
  • Partner with engineering, product, UX, ecosystem, and business leaders to align priorities, resolve trade-offs, and drive central initiatives to successful outcomes.
  • Translate strategic priorities into clear delivery plans, accountable achievements, decision points, and measurable outcomes.
  • Identify systemic delivery challenges and implement improvements that increase organizational efficiency, predictability, and pace.
  • Bring data, automation, and portfolio insight into delivery decision-making, helping leaders understand progress, risks, dependencies, and investment trade-offs.


Necessary Skills and Experience:

  • Significant experience leading complex cross-functional programs, portfolios, or delivery organizations in software, platform, AI, developer tooling, or related technology environments.
  • Proven experience building, leading, and developing project, program, or delivery management teams.
  • Track record of defining operating models, delivery frameworks, governance practices, and execution standards that scale across teams.
  • Ability to influence senior partners, drive decisions, and build alignment in environments with competing priorities and high ambiguity.
  • Strong systems thinking, with the ability to link strategy, planning, dependencies, risks, resources, and outcomes throughout a complex organization.
  • Strong communication and leadership abilities, including the capacity to present progress, trade-offs, and risks clearly to senior leadership.
  • Experience using metrics, delivery data, and operational insight to improve execution quality and organizational decision-making.


Desired Skills and Experience:

  • Experience leading delivery across globally distributed teams and organizations.
  • Familiarity with portfolio planning, resource management, investment prioritization, and organizational operating models.
  • Experience improving delivery efficiency through automation, tooling, dashboards, or workflow redesign.
  • Hands-on use of AI to improve the speed, quality or scale of project management, including planning, risk tracking, dependency management, status reporting, decision support, workflow automation or portfolio insight.


In Return:

You will join a world-class team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of technology. As a key leader, you will have the opportunity to build our delivery practices and drive meaningful outcomes. Your work will directly influence our success and help us compete globally. Join us and be part of an exceptionally ambitious journey where your contributions will make a significant impact!
