About the Role

We're looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead delivery on AI and data product initiatives built on Databricks. This role blends technical project and program management with data product management and change management — you'll drive execution across technical teams while ensuring the organization actually adopts and adapts to what's being built.

Own technical project and program management for AI and data initiatives, including planning, scheduling, and resource coordination

•
Manage delivery across data and AI workstreams built on Databricks, coordinating cross-functional technical teams

•
Apply data product management principles to help define scope, prioritization, and roadmap for data/AI products

•
Lead change management efforts to drive adoption of new AI-enabled tools, workflows, or data products across the organization

•
Translate business objectives into structured project plans, milestones, and delivery roadmaps

•
Identify and manage project risks, dependencies, and cross-team blockers

•
Facilitate stakeholder communication, including status reporting, roadmap updates, and executive updates

•
Coordinate across engineering, data science, and business stakeholders to maintain alignment on priorities

•
Support governance and structured delivery practices across AI and data programs

What You Bring

•
Proven experience in technical project management and/or program management, ideally on AI or data-focused initiatives

•
Working knowledge of artificial intelligence concepts and how AI projects are typically delivered

•
Experience with or strong familiarity with the Databricks platform and data/AI project workflows

•
Experience in data product management, including scoping and prioritizing data-driven initiatives

•
Demonstrated change management experience, driving adoption of new tools, processes, or products

•
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across technical and business audiences

•
Ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities in a fast-moving environment

Nice to Have

•
Relevant certifications (PMP, PMI-ACP, Prosci/change management certification, or equivalent)

•
Experience with agile or hybrid delivery methodologies

•
Background in data governance or MLOps practices

•
Experience in a consulting or professional services environment
