Senior AI Project Manager

Senior AI Project Manager

Real Chemistry is looking for a senior Project Manager to lead complex AI-driven and/or IT technical initiatives across our growing portfolio. This is a high-visibility role for someone who can translate ambiguity into structured delivery, and brings cross-functional teams along for the ride. You'll own end-to-end project delivery helping shape how we manage AI-integrated and/or IT programs and systems  should be equally comfortable communicating and presenting solutions and changes to technical teams and C-suite stakeholders.

This is a hybrid role, based in any of our US offices—including New York City, Boston, Chicago, Carmel, or San Francisco—or remotely within the US, depending on team and business needs.

What You'll Do

• Maintain full ownership (leave no question unasked) across multiple high-priority work streams simultaneously. Serve as the primary point of accountability for project health by proactively identifying risks and developing mitigation plans before they escalate.
• Facilitate solution development with subject matter experts and build comprehensive project plans and risk registers across multiple work streams.
• Lead governance and reporting cadences: status meetings + follow ups, standups, milestone reviews, and executive-level project updates
• Experience working directly with external IT, Security, Engineering, and QA; comfortable holding technical partners accountable to timelines without writing the code
• Proficiency in enterprise project management platforms like Workfront, with comfort using collaboration and documentation tools such as SharePoint and Microsoft Teams
• Experience in change management, with the ability to guide teams and stakeholders through shifting priorities, assess downstream impacts, communicate implications clearly, and drive alignment
• Model documentation hygiene and PM best practices
• Contribute to PMO process development, playbooks, and onboarding materials as the team scales

What You Bring

• 7+ years of project management or technical IT experience
• Demonstrated experience managing large-scale, cross-functional programs with multiple stakeholders and interdependent work streams
• Basic familiarity with AI tools and platforms (generative AI, automation, data pipelines, or similar) — you don't need to be an engineer, but you do need to speak the language
• Exceptional communication skills — equally comfortable presenting/communicating to/solutioning with technical teams and C-suite stakeholders
• A track record of leading with accountability, clarity, and composure under pressure

Pay Range: $120,000-$135,000
