Who we are looking for

We are looking for a Technical Project Manager reporting to the Offensive AI Engineering team.

What you will be responsible for
As a Technical Project Manager supporting the Offensive AI Engineering team, you will:

• Drive Agile delivery across the engineering team, including backlog management, sprint planning, refinement, reviews, retrospectives, release planning, and continuous improvement.
• Partner with engineering, cybersecurity, AI/ML, architecture, infrastructure, customers, and control functions to define, document, prioritize, and manage functional and non-functional requirements.
• Maintain a structured engineering backlog with clearly defined epics, user stories, technical tasks, acceptance criteria, ownership, dependencies, and definitions of done.
• Develop and maintain project plans, roadmaps, status reports, requirements, decision logs, and risk, issue, action, and dependency trackers.
• Serve as a central source of program information for the team and project lead, providing an accurate view of delivery progress, milestones, engineering risks, resource constraints, blockers, and decisions requiring escalation.
• Track execution against sprint commitments, milestones, and release objectives. Identify delivery risks early, remove impediments, facilitate corrective action, and escalate issues with clear options and recommendations.
• Coordinate technical design reviews, proofs of concept, customer demonstrations, testing cycles, governance reviews, production-readiness activities, and releases.
• Manage dependencies across AI/ML engineering, software engineering, cybersecurity, cloud, infrastructure, data, architecture, and enterprise control teams to support coordinated and timely delivery.
• Ensure authorization, testing boundaries, human oversight, data handling, access controls, auditability, and responsible AI and security requirements are incorporated into project execution.
• Establish and report meaningful delivery metrics, including backlog health, sprint predictability, milestone completion, blocked work, defects, and release readiness.
• Prepare concise, executive-ready materials for leadership, customers, and governance forums, clearly communicating progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and recommended actions.
• Support resource and capacity planning, hiring coordination, financial tracking, vendor management, and other program-management activities as required.

What we value
These skills will help you succeed in this role:

• Significant Technical Project or Program Management experience delivering complex software engineering, cybersecurity, AI/ML, cloud, or infrastructure initiatives.
• Practical experience leading Agile engineering delivery, including backlog management, sprint execution, requirements, release planning, dependency management, and delivery reporting.
• Technical knowledge sufficient to engage credibly with engineering teams and customers on software development lifecycles, system architecture, APIs, cloud platforms, data dependencies, security controls, and AI/ML concepts.
• Experience translating business, customer, and technical objectives into clear requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, project plans, and measurable delivery outcomes.
• Strong ability to identify and manage technical risks, issues, dependencies, scope changes, and decisions across multiple engineering teams and stakeholders.
• Executive-level written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical work into concise, decision-oriented information for leadership and external customers.
• Working knowledge of Jira and Confluence, with proficiency in standard project planning, reporting, and presentation tools.
