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. If you can manage a delivery roadmap and a change curve with equal fluency, this role is built for that.

What You'll Do

  • 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
