Description: AI Development Platform Technical Project Manager / Scrum Master
 
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, fast changing 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 decision making 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, fast changing 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 end to end delivery.
  • Familiarity with GenAI, data, and compute infrastructure concepts
  • Hands on 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 large scale transformation experience
 
Qualifications:
  • 4-6 years working as a technical project manager
