Technical Project Manager, VP
About The Position
The Offensive AI Engineering team is vital to translate Offensive AI objectives into executable roadmaps, delivery plans, workstreams, and measurable outcomes. 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. You will partner with engineering, cybersecurity, AI/ML, architecture, infrastructure, customers, and control functions to define, document, prioritize, and manage functional and non-functional requirements. You will maintain a structured engineering backlog with clearly defined epics, user stories, technical tasks, acceptance criteria, ownership, dependencies, and definitions of done. You will develop and maintain project plans, roadmaps, status reports, requirements, decision logs, and risk, issue, action, and dependency trackers. You will 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. You will track execution against sprint commitments, milestones, and release objectives. You will identify delivery risks early, remove impediments, facilitate corrective action, and escalate issues with clear options and recommendations. You will coordinate technical design reviews, proofs of concept, customer demonstrations, testing cycles, governance reviews, production-readiness activities, and releases. You will manage dependencies across AI/ML engineering, software engineering, cybersecurity, cloud, infrastructure, data, architecture, and enterprise control teams to support coordinated and timely delivery. You will ensure authorization, testing boundaries, human oversight, data handling, access controls, auditability, and responsible AI and security requirements are incorporated into project execution. You will establish and report meaningful delivery metrics, including backlog health, sprint predictability, milestone completion, blocked work, defects, and release readiness. You will prepare concise, executive-ready materials for leadership, customers, and governance forums, clearly communicating progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and recommended actions. You will support resource and capacity planning, hiring coordination, financial tracking, vendor management, and other program-management activities as required.
