Job Description

The AI Development Platform provides firmwide GenAI capabilities to enable the firm s tech teams to develop and deploy GenAI solutions to meet desired business outcomes.

This role is for a Technical Project Manager with a strong Scrum Master background, supporting a dynamic, fastchanging team. The individual will focus on keeping the team unblocked from external dependencies, ensuring clear visibility into delivery status, risks, and issues for Product Owners, and guiding a pragmatic, gradual evolution toward mature and effective agile delivery. The role requires comfort operating in ambiguity, adapting approaches over time, and balancing structure with flexibility to enable consistent outcomes.

Primary responsibilities

• Actively identify, manage, and resolve external dependencies and impediments across teams and stakeholders to ensure the squad remains focused and unblocked in its delivery
• Leverage tools such as JIRA and Roadmunk to provide clear, transparent visibility into delivery status, risks, issues, and dependencies, enabling effective prioritization and decisionmaking by Product Owners
• Ensure deliverables, expected outcomes, roles, and responsibilities are clearly defined and communicated, while remaining adaptable as priorities and team structures evolve
• Serve as a Scrum Master where appropriate, facilitating agile ceremonies and practices in a pragmatic way that supports delivery rather than imposing rigid process
• Partner closely with Product Owners and Tech Leads to incrementally improve planning discipline, backlog clarity, and delivery predictability over time
• Use metrics and tooling to surface trends and risks, focusing on actionable insights that help the team improve flow and execution
• Maintain lightweight but effective project documentation and stakeholder reporting aligned to the pace and maturity of the team
• Foster a collaborative, transparent team culture that encourages continuous improvement, learning, and shared ownership of outcomes
• Support the team s gradual evolution toward mature, effective agile delivery, introducing structure and best practices incrementally as the team s context and readiness evolve

Required Skills

• Demonstrated experience driving delivery in complex, fastchanging environments
• Strong grounding in Scrum and agile principles, with the judgment to apply them flexibly
• Proven ability to manage dependencies, remove blockers, and improve delivery flow
• Ability to provide clear, concise communication of status, risks, and issues to Product Owners
• Deep expertise in JIRA and delivery tracking tools
• Ability to influence behavior and outcomes without formal authority
• Proven experience operating across siloed organizations, building alignment and cohesion to enable effective endtoend delivery.
• Familiarity with GenAI, data, and compute infrastructure concepts
• Handson experience acting as a Scrum Master or agile delivery lead

Desired Skills

• Experience supporting teams as they evolve toward agile maturity, rather than operating only in fully mature agile environments
• Hands-on GenAI development experience
• Financial services or largescale transformation experience

Qualifications

• 4-6 years working as a technical project manager
