Role Summary

We are looking for a dedicated Project Manager to drive an AI workforce transformation programme in a time-bound manner. The programme introduces AI tools and workflow transformations across teams in the software development lifecycle, using a phased, evidence-gated methodology: mobilise, discovery, baseline, solution design, implementation, and measurement — with repeating design–implement–measure cycles per intervention.

This is a governance-heavy, metrics-driven delivery role. You will convert the methodology into a dated, committed programme schedule and hold owners to it; run the weekly and steering cadence; enforce exit-gate discipline (no phase closes without signed-off deliverables, no intervention starts without a frozen, evidence-backed baseline); and give leadership a single, reliable window into progress, risks, and decisions needed. You will work hand-in-hand with the architecture and engineering teams, team leads, tool admins, security/compliance, and finance.

Key Responsibilities

Programme Planning & Schedule

Build and own the programme schedule:



phase-wise, per-team and per-intervention milestones, starting from preliminary discovery data.
Produce the indicative programme timeline within the first 30 days and keep it continuously current.
Surface variances early — no silent slippage; escalate ahead of time with options.

Governance & Cadence

Run the operating cadence: weekly written status to sponsors, steering committee sessions, phase-exit playbacks with team leads.
Enforce exit-gate discipline: phases close only on filled, reviewed, signed-off programme templates; interventions start only against a frozen baseline.
Bring scale / iterate / retire decisions to steering on schedule for every intervention.

Dependencies, Risks & Pipeline

Track and transparent cross-team dependencies and blockers — team leads, tool admins, security/compliance, finance.
Maintain the risk and dependency register with weekly refresh.
Manage the intervention
