About the role

  • Manage end-to-end project schedules for customer engagements across Applied AI (FDE team) and core engineering teams spanning multiple geographies and time zones
  • Maintain real-time project status visibility — Confluence boards, Jira tracking, weekly status reports — so leadership, engineering, and the Delivery Manager always have a single source of truth
  • Run internal project review cadences: bi-weekly planning reviews, customer submissions reviews, and dev question sessions across all active engagements
  • Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers before they become surprises — escalate to the Delivery Manager with proposed mitigations, not after deadlines slip
  • Own cross-site coordination across multiple sites — bridging time zones, aligning handoffs, and ensuring nothing falls between teams
  • Drive daily and weekly status updates across all active projects — post EOD updates in team channels with key changes, blockers, and next actions tagged to DRIs
  • Prepare and deliver weekly internal status reports to the CPO every Friday — consolidating project health, risk register, and upcoming milestones across all accounts
  • Track and maintain delivery governance artifacts: project plans, feedback/release trackers, QA checklists, go-live readiness assessments
  • Coordinate resource allocation and capacity planning across FDEs and engineering — flag overload risks and propose reallocation before quality suffers
  • Ensure Jira hygiene: correct assignees, updated due dates, closed tickets, and clean backlogs — so automated reporting and AI tools produce accurate outputs
  • Support the Delivery Manager in preparing customer-facing materials: milestone review decks, progress summaries, and QBR data

Requirements

  • 5+ years in technical program management, project management, or delivery management — with at least 2 years managing cross-functional, cross-site engineering teams
  • Proven experience managing 3–5 concurrent external facing projects simultaneously without dropping balls — you have a system, not just hustle
  • Strong command of project management tooling: Jira, Confluence, Rocketlane (or similar), and spreadsheet-based reporting. You're the person who keeps these tools clean and current.
  • Experience coordinating across time zones and distributed teams — you've worked with India/APAC engineering teams and know how to structure async handoffs
  • Excellent written communication — your status updates are crisp, your escalations are clear, and your meeting notes are actionable. You don't write paragraphs; you write bullet points with owners and dates.
  • Technical fluency — you can read architecture docs, understand data pipeline concepts, and have productive conversations with engineers about scope, effort, and trade-offs. You don't need to code, but you need to understand the work.
  • Anticipatory mindset — you see risks coming before they materialize. You flag a Milestone 1 delivery risk on Monday, not on Thursday when it's due.
  • Experience in enterprise SaaS, consulting delivery, or systems integration. Heavy industry experience (manufacturing, supply chain, energy) is a strong plus.
Benefits
  • Architect the intelligence layer for the world's largest industrial companies — your designs will run with top Fortune 100 companies
  • Work directly with the CPO and CTO on every engagement — ZERO layers of bureaucracy
  • Backed by silicon valley top VCs, with access to their portfolio network and enterprise resources
  • Early-stage equity with significant upside
