SB-1470 Project Manager — AI Workforce Transformation

Role Summary

We are looking for a dedicated Project Manager to drive an AI workforce transformation programme in a time-bound manner. The programme introduces AI tools and workflow transformations across teams in the software development lifecycle using a phased evidence-gated methodology: mobilise discovery baseline solution design implementation and measurement with repeating designimplementmeasure cycles per intervention.

This is a governance-heavy metrics-driven delivery role. You will convert the methodology into a dated committed programme schedule and hold owners to it; run the weekly and steering cadence; enforce exit-gate discipline (no phase closes without signed-off deliverables no intervention starts without a frozen evidence-backed baseline); and give leadership a single reliable window into progress risks and decisions needed. You will work hand-in-hand with the architecture and engineering teams team leads tool admins security/compliance and finance.

Key Responsibilities

Programme Planning & Schedule

• Build and own the programme schedule: phase-wise per-team and per-intervention milestones starting from preliminary discovery data.
• Produce the indicative programme timeline within the first 30 days and keep it continuously current.
• Surface variances early no silent slippage; escalate ahead of time with options.

Governance & Cadence

• Run the operating cadence: weekly written status to sponsors steering committee sessions phase-exit playbacks with team leads.
• Enforce exit-gate discipline: phases close only on filled reviewed signed-off programme templates; interventions start only against a frozen baseline.
• Bring scale / iterate / retire decisions to steering on schedule for every intervention.

Dependencies Risks & Pipeline

• Track and clear cross-team dependencies and blockers team leads tool admins security/compliance finance.
• Maintain the risk and dependency register with weekly refresh.
• Manage the intervention pipeline: prioritised backlog pilot schedules rollout waves.

Adoption & Programme Record

• Coordinate enablement logistics during pilots and rollouts: training sessions champions office hours.
• Maintain the single source of truth: versioned template repository immutable baseline snapshots decision log.
• Report programme economics with the AI & Architecture team: tool spend licence utilisation measured return per intervention.

Required Technical Skills

Qualifications & Certifications

• Education: Bachelors degree in Engineering Computer Science or a related field (or equivalent); MBA a plus.
• Experience: 8 years in software delivery / programme management with at least 3 years running multi-team programmes.

Preferred Certifications

Soft Skills & Cultural Fit

• Change-Management Sensitivity: Teams must experience the programme as enablement not surveillance.

What We Offer

• Ownership of a high-visibility leadership-sponsored transformation programme from its foundation.
• Direct exposure to AI-in-SDLC adoption at enterprise scale one of the most in-demand delivery specialisations.
• Work alongside a dedicated AI and architecture practice with a defined evidence-gated methodology.
• Competitive compensation with a structured performance review process.
