Job Description:

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage full project lifecycle (charter, plan, RACI, risk register, reporting) for IT Projects.


  • Coordinate cross-functional teams across multi-workstream programs.


  • Own project financials - budget, resourcing, and cost governance with IT FinOps.


  • Lead sprint planning and release management for AI initiatives (AVA AI, multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, Internal AI).


  • Track technical debt, build failures, and dependency risks with engineering leads.


  • Own project plans and resourcing for projects, migrations, and dashboard delivery.


  • Partner with Infrastructure on network, systems, cloud, and endpoint initiatives.


  • Partner with CISO on security/compliance projects (audits, risk remediation, access governance), applying the same governance rigor as AI initiatives.


  • Connect PM layer across IT sub-functions, managing cross-team dependencies (apps, data, AI, infrastructure, security).


  • Facilitate steering committee updates; escalate risks proactively.


  • Run Agile ceremonies via Kaleris PMO application and maintain roadmaps.


  • Drive change management, UAT, and go-live readiness.


  • Track sprint velocity, release readiness, and adoption metrics.


  • Report portfolio status and financials to CIO/ELT/SLT.


  • Translate stakeholder requirements into backlog items.


  • Maintain relationships with stakeholders and team leads.


  • Contribute to PMO governance standards and templates.


Required Qualifications

  • 7-10+ years of IT project management experience, including proven experience concurrently managing three or more delivery tracks across: enterprise applications (Salesforce/ERP/Certinia), AI/data platform initiatives, BI/analytics platforms, infrastructure, and security/compliance programs.


  • Familiarity with Azure (AI Foundry, DevOps, Key Vault, App Service) and GitHub-based CI/CD workflows.


  • Strong command of Jira/Confluence and project management tool for agile execution tracking across multiple concurrent workstreams.


  • Demonstrated ability to serve as the single accountable PM across three or more simultaneous cross-domain tracks (applications, infrastructure, AI/BI, and/or security), rather than sequential or single-domain projects.


  • Familiarity with IT security/compliance project constructs (audit remediation, access reviews, risk registers) sufficient to manage timelines and stakeholder communication.


  • Excellent stakeholder management, written/verbal communication, and executive reporting skills.


  • PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or SAFe certification preferred.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience owning project artifacts (deployment guides, stage-gate/risk reviews).


  • Experience working alongside CISO/security teams on compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar).


  • Exposure to infrastructure/cloud operations projects (network, identity, endpoint, or data center/cloud migration).


  • Experience operating within a growing/scaling PMO function, including building or refining governance templates.


Core Competencies

  • Proven ability to run three or more concurrent delivery tracks simultaneously - spanning applications, AI, data, infrastructure, and security - without dedicated track-specific support staff.


  • Strong project delivery governance instincts - comfortable owning risk/compliance checkpoints, not just schedules.


  • Executive-level communication and stakeholder influence.


  • Comfort operating at the intersection of business process and emerging technology (AI/BI).


  • Strong risk and dependency management instincts, including in security and compliance contexts.


Education

  • Bachelor's degree in IT, Business, Data Analytics, or related field.
