AI Program Manager

The ideal candidate is an experienced Project/Program Manager with strong AI or automation delivery and governance experience. Lead the end-to-end delivery and operationalization of AI capabilities. The role focuses on taking AI capabilities from initial business need through pilot evidence-based evaluation approval rollout hypercare and final operational ownership.

Drive each AI capability through all ten lifecycle steps need owners pilot documentation training comms go/no-go rollout hypercare operational ownership.

Assemble and defend the go/no-go packet at each gate review: pilot evidence measured results against promotion thresholds risks and the ownership handoff plan.

Run the Steering Committee and Execution Council cadence: agenda quorum carryover scorecard and a decisions log with an owner and a date on every decision.

Chase actions to closure between sessions surface slippage early with the blocker named and escalate to the chair rather than let an action stage.

Own the hypercare-to-ownership handoff a capability is done when a named owner has accepted it with documentation and a support path not when it ships.

Hold the line when the evidence does not support a promotion the room wants to make.

5 years project or program management delivering software or technology into production.

Proven delivery for US-based clients or employers with real-time overlap including running live meetings with US stakeholders in English.

Experience running a governance or gate-review process where the decision depended on evidence you assembled and holding a standard against a senior stakeholder who wanted it waived.

Working fluency with AI or automation delivery: pilots shadow mode promotion thresholds and why a good demo is not evidence.

Written English strong enough to author an executive-facing decision log unaided.
