Senior Technical Project Manager - AI Initiatives #3648803

Job Description

Job Description

Be Part Of A High-Performing Team

Join a technology organization delivering emerging and business-critical initiatives that require disciplined project leadership, strong judgment, and consistent execution. This team is looking for a Project Manager who can take an initiative from an initial scope, identify the people and dependencies required, create a realistic delivery plan, and actively drive the team toward successful completion.

This is not a project-administration position. The successful candidate will work closely with technical and business teams, challenge assumptions when needed, identify risks early, and keep stakeholders accountable throughout the delivery lifecycle.

What's In Store For You

• Opportunity to manage technology initiatives involving AI and emerging capabilities without requiring deep AI engineering expertise.
• Work closely with technical teams throughout the complete software delivery lifecycle.
• High degree of ownership over planning, execution, governance, and stakeholder coordination.
• Onsite presence in Chelmsford 3–4 days per week.
• Opportunity to lead projects where strong project-management fundamentals and critical thinking have a direct impact on delivery success.

How You Will Make An Impact

• Take ownership of technology projects from initial scope definition through release and completion.
• Identify required resources, stakeholders, dependencies, milestones, and delivery risks.
• Build and actively manage detailed project plans using Microsoft Project.
• Drive teams through design, build, testing, release, approvals, and sign-off activities.
• Facilitate steering meetings, weekly project reviews, and stakeholder follow-ups.
• Hold project participants accountable for commitments, deadlines, and deliverables.
• Challenge unrealistic assumptions, identify gaps, and proactively resolve issues before they affect delivery.
• Maintain clear visibility into project health while focusing on outcomes rather than simply reporting status.
• Partner closely with technical teams to understand how project decisions affect delivery sequencing and dependencies.

Do you bring proven success driving complex technology projects through delivery?

• Proven project-management experience delivering technology or software initiatives.
• Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle, including design, build, testing, release, and production readiness.
• Demonstrated ability to build and actively manage project plans using Microsoft Project.
• Strong critical-thinking and logical problem-solving skills.
• General technical aptitude and ability to understand technology dependencies without needing to be a hands-on engineer.
• Demonstrated success holding cross-functional teams accountable for commitments and project outcomes.
• Strong meeting facilitation, stakeholder communication, and escalation skills.
• Ability to independently identify what needs to happen next and drive the project forward.
• Experience supporting AI-related initiatives is helpful but not required.
• Oracle, ERP, or enterprise application delivery experience is a plus but not required.
• Ability to work onsite in Chelmsford 3–4 days per week.
