We're looking for a high energy, self-starter, and versatile team player who bridges technical excellence with seamless collaboration, driving projects from concept to deployment in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end project lifecycles : from scoping and planning to execution, risk mitigation, and successful handover of complex AI technical services.
  • Foster cross-functional collaboration among engineers, data scientists, product teams, and stakeholders to ensure alignment and on-time delivery.
  • Cultivate strong client partnerships by translating technical complexities into clear, actionable insights and proactively addressing evolving needs.
  • Monitor project health with sharp situational awareness, adapting strategies to overcome obstacles and optimize outcomes.

What We're Looking For

  • Technical Depth : 3 to 5 years in TPM roles, with preferable hands-on experience in AI / ML projects (e.g., model deployment, data pipelines, or scalable AI infrastructure).
  • Communication Mastery : Exceptional verbal and written skills to articulate progress, risks, and recommendations to diverse audiences—from C-suite executives to technical teams.
  • Leadership Prowess : Proven ability to build trust, motivate teams, and sustain long-term client relationships in dynamic, ambiguous settings.
  • Mindset : Proactive, adaptable, and resilient, with a passion for innovation and a track record of delivering results in resource-constrained scenarios.

    • Key Responsibilities

  • Project Leadership : Lead end-to-end technical project delivery, ensuring alignment with scope, budget, and timeline.
  • Stakeholder Communication : Serve as the primary point of contact between clients, technical teams, and business units, maintaining transparency and consistent updates.
  • Situational Awareness : Actively monitor project dynamics, anticipate risks, and adapt strategy in real-time to navigate evolving challenges.
  • Client Relationship Management : Cultivate trust-based relationships with clients, understand their goals and pain points, and act as a strategic partner in solution delivery.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration : Work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, product managers, and executive stakeholders to ensure smooth coordination and successful outcomes.
  • Issue Resolution : Proactively identify bottlenecks or conflicts and drive resolution while maintaining client and team satisfaction.
  • Reporting and Documentation : Maintain accurate project documentation, generate regular reports, and lead project retrospectives to capture learnings.

    • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 3 to 5 years of technical project management experience, preferably in AI or data science-focused environments.
  • Technical background and ability to understand AI / ML, data pipelines, and cloud-based systems.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • High level of emotional intelligence and situational awareness—adept at reading the room, managing personalities, and navigating organizational dynamics.
  • Proven experience managing client relationships, driving customer success, and delivering AI / ML projects that exceed expectations.
  • Proficiency with project management tools such as Jira, Asana, Trello, or Microsoft Project.

    • Preferred Skills

  • PMP, CSM, or equivalent certification.
  • Familiarity with AI / ML practices and solutions.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and modern software development lifecycles.

    • Why Join Us
