Long-Term Objectives:

• Support senior leadership in implementing digital transformation initiatives and system improvements, including the rollout of Microsoft Dynamics and other key projects.

• Facilitate the development and execution of training materials, stakeholder buy-in processes, and effective communication strategies for technical and business teams.
• Assist in the rollout and change management of AI-related projects, including coordinating data, training large language models (LLMs), and implementing AI functionality in collaboration with other companies.

Core Duties:

• Operate autonomously to manage competing priorities and soft influence across internal teams and external partners to drive project execution.
• Translate complex technical discussions into clear, actionable insights for business units, ensuring transparency and alignment.
• Coordinate with engineering teams to deliver software and application-focused projects while ensuring timelines and deliverables are met.
• Escalate issues appropriately and identify key stakeholders to involve when challenges arise.
• Monitor and report on project progress using tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, Asana, and MS Project.

Other Responsibilities:

• Travel annually (10% or less travel requirement).
• Serve as a product operations and delivery manager, ensuring seamless integration of technical terminology, coding knowledge, and business communication.
• Exhibit tenacity and strong communication skills to facilitate cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder engagement.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Experience: 5–7 years in technical project management or a similar role, with a proven track record of leading software/application delivery projects to successful completion.
• Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of software delivery processes, technical terminology, and basic coding concepts to effectively communicate with engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Project Management Expertise: Proficiency in Agile/Scrum methodologies and tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, Asana, or MS Project. Certifications like Agile/Scrum Master, PMP, or PRINCE2 are highly valued.
• AI Exposure (Nice to Have): Experience delivering AI-focused projects, including coordinating data or training large language models (LLMs), is a bonus.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional ability to translate technical concepts into digestible insights for non-technical business units, fostering transparency and alignment.
• Autonomous Work Style: Ability to operate independently, manage competing priorities, and influence stakeholders without direct authority.
• Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and organizational skills to identify risks, resolve issues, and ensure successful project execution.
• Soft Skills: Tenacity, proactive escalation, and the ability to drive stakeholder engagement while maintaining clarity and focus on deliverables.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Compensation: A competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
