About the Role
We're looking for exceptional Project Managers who thrive in fast-paced AI delivery. You'll coordinate multiple concurrent AI projects and programmes, ensuring our delivery teams have what they need before they need it. This means phenomenal stakeholder engagement, proactive problem-solving, and making complexity look effortless. This isn't traditional project management. AI projects come with ambiguity, rapid evolution, and a mix of qualitative and quantitative success metrics. You'll manage everything from proof of concepts that go straight to production, to larger programmes with multiple moving parts.

* Manage ambiguity and scope evolution inherent in AI projects, maintaining flexibility whilst controlling delivery
* Coordinate PoC to production transitions where applicable, ensuring smooth handover and deployment

* Lead PMO activities and project administration, maintaining high-quality delivery artefacts
* Execute project reporting to stakeholders with clarity and timeliness
* Ensure project governance compliance and facilitate governance forums effectively
