The platform combines AI handling of repetitive structured tasks with human oversight at defined intervals.

Project Delivery and Execution

  • Own project delivery from scoping and planning through execution, testing, deployment, and post-go-live stabilization.
  • Build project plans, RAID logs, and daily and weekly reports.
  • Establish stand-ups, steering committees, sprint reviews, and other governance cadences.
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams, dependencies, deliverables, KPIs, and milestones.

Client and Stakeholder Management

  • Act as the primary day-to-day contact for client project teams.
  • Coordinate discovery sessions to define strategic product use cases.
  • Partner with clients after deployment to identify additional product value and use cases.
  • Translate requirements into actionable plans and manage budgets, quality, scope changes, decisions, and approvals.
  • Support user acceptance testing, training, and enablement for client stakeholders.

Risk, Scope, and Quality

  • Identify risks and blockers and drive mitigation and resolution plans.
  • Keep project documentation clear, consistent, and current.
  • Monitor scope creep and guide stakeholders through structured change control.
  • Maintain delivery quality standards and alignment with company methodologies.

Internal Collaboration

  • Partner with Product and Engineering to improve delivery workflows and handovers.
  • Share lessons learned, contribute to playbooks, and support operational improvements.
  • Mentor Project Coordinators or analysts where required.
  • Contribute to resource planning and internal delivery-capacity forecasting.

Required Experience and Skills

  • 4–7 years of experience in project management, delivery, consulting, or programme coordination.
  • Experience managing multiple complex IT transformation projects across cross-functional teams.
  • Experience with SaaS, technology, AI, data, or process-automation projects.
  • Strong organization, execution, communication, presentation, and stakeholder-management abilities.
  • Proficiency with delivery tools such as Jira, Monday, Asana, Confluence, or Gantt tools.
  • Experience running stand-ups, sprint cycles, retrospectives, and steering committees.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience delivering enterprise implementations or workflow automation is preferred.
  • Familiarity with Agile and Waterfall methodologies is preferred.
  • Consulting, customer success, or technical delivery experience is preferred.
  • Understanding basic technical documentation or API and SaaS integrations is preferred.
  • PMP, PRINCE2, or ScrumMaster certifications are advantageous but not required.
