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.
