Your responsibilities will include:

• Project Planning & Execution – Develop structured project plans, milestones, and roadmaps, ensuring alignment with strategic business goals and engineering capacity.
• Stakeholder & Requirement Management – Gather, refine, and shape diverse technical requirements from leadership, product teams and experimental initiatives into structured development plans.
• Resource & Workflow Coordination – Partner with engineering, product and creative teams to allocate resources efficiently and ensure optimal productivity.
• Risk & Timeline Management – Proactively identify risks and roadblocks, develop mitigation strategies and ensure projects stay on track.
• Agile & Iterative Execution – Facilitate Agile processes, sprint planning, stand-ups and retrospectives to drive continuous improvement.
• Process Optimization & Scalability – Implement best practices and workflows that improve team efficiency and project visibility.
• Cross-Functional Communication – Serve as the primary bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, ensuring clarity and transparency on project progress and expectations.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ of experience in technical project management within AI, software development, or technology-driven organizations.
• Prior experience managing projects in experimental, prototype-heavy environments is strongly preferred.
• Project Management: Strong understanding of Agile, Scrum, Kanban and software development lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies and project management tools.
• Technical Fluency: While coding experience is not required, a solid understanding of software development, AI, and emerging technology trends is essential.
• Resource Planning & Coordination: Experience working with technical teams and aligning priorities across multiple projects.
• Communication & Leadership: Ability to translate complex technical concepts into actionable insights for non-technical stakeholders.
