Fully Remote Project Manager Agentic Ai

Position Overview

We seek a plan-driven Project Manager with proven, hands‑on experience delivering agentic AI projects (not just theoretical knowledge). You will lead Agentic AI + MCP initiatives using classical (waterfall) project management—WBS, Gantt, EVM, formal change control—while managing AI engineering teams.

• Lead end-to-end waterfall/hybrid agentic AI projects from conception to closure.
• Create WBS, Gantt charts (CPM), and specifications (Agent Capability Matrix, MCP Tool Registry).
• Monitor progress via Plan vs. Actual and Earned Value Management (CPI/SPI).
• Manage agentic AI–specific risks: goal misalignment, token cost blowouts, MCP downtime, unsafe tool calls.
• Implement formal change control for scope/timeline/budget.
• Coordinate internal AI engineers and third‑party MCP vendors.

• Lead and hold accountable ML engineers, MCP developers, and safety testers.
• Manage team capacity across multiple agent projects.
• Conduct performance evaluations based on delivery and baseline adherence.

• Run milestone reviews, change control boards, and daily stand‑ups.
• Maintain task boards, production readiness checklists, and documentation wikis.

• Must have delivered at least one agentic AI project in production or pilot (e.g., autonomous customer support agent, multi‑agent workflow, tool‑using LLM system).
• Must be able to describe in interview: agent architecture (ReAct, planner‑executor, etc.), tools used, how you handled non‑determinism, safety guardrails implemented, and lessons learned from failures.
• Experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) is highly preferred but not mandatory—agentic AI without MCP still qualifies.

• 5+ years project management.
• Bachelor’s degree in one of the following or related fields:
  Business Administration, Management, Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, Operations Management, Project Management.
• Expert in WBS, Gantt, CPM, EVM (CPI/SPI), formal change control.
• PMP or PRINCE2 advantageous.

• Structured thinking, accountability, proactive leadership.
• Excellent documentation and communication.
