Requirements
The ideal candidate is a structured, proactive, and highly organized technical project manager who can operate effectively at the intersection of technology, delivery, and stakeholder management. They should be comfortable managing several technical workstreams simultaneously, coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams, challenging unclear timelines or dependencies, and escalating risks before they affect delivery. The candidate does not need to be a hands-on software, AI, or HPC engineer, but should be technically conversant enough to understand engineering discussions, follow system and project dependencies, ask the right questions, identify delivery risks, and communicate effectively with engineers, SMEs, and leadership. Success in this role requires someone who can maintain both the detailed operational view of project execution and the high-level view required for executive communication and decision-making. Why Join Us This role offers the opportunity to contribute to high-impact technology initiatives involving advanced computing, AI/ML platforms, enterprise data management, and large-scale software and platform delivery. You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and senior stakeholders, gain exposure to complex technology programs, and play a key role in delivering mission-critical digital transformation initiatives within a structured enterprise environment.
