Duration: 12 Months

Employment Type:
Contract

Pay Rate Range: $55 to $60

We are looking for a strategic and hands-on AI Project Manager & Scrum Master who bridges the worlds of agile delivery and artificial intelligence. You will lead cross-functional teams building AI-powered products and platforms, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and with measurable business impact. You are as comfortable running a sprint retrospective as you are interpreting model performance metrics or coordinating with data science teams.

• Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies - sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives - for one or more AI/ML product teams.
• Define and own end-to-end project plans for AI initiatives, from discovery and data acquisition through model deployment and monitoring.
• Partner with product owners, data scientists, ML engineers, and business stakeholders to maintain a prioritized, well-groomed backlog.
• Identify, track, and proactively resolve risks, dependencies, and impediments unique to AI/ML projects (data readiness, model drift, regulatory requirements).
• Develop and communicate clear project status reports, OKRs, and KPIs to executive leadership.
• Champion responsible AI principles - fairness, explainability, and data privacy - throughout the delivery lifecycle.
• Continuously improve team velocity and delivery processes through data-driven retrospectives and agile best practices.
• Coordinate vendor and third-party AI tool evaluations, integrations, and procurement.

This role combines traditional Agile Project Management and Scrum Master responsibilities with AI/ML program delivery leadership. The ideal candidate will manage AI-driven initiatives from concept through production deployment, facilitate Agile ceremonies, coordinate cross-functional teams including Data Scientists and ML Engineers, manage project risks related to AI systems, and ensure alignment with business objectives. Success in this role requires a strong understanding of both Agile methodologies and the AI/ML development lifecycle, along with excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.

• 5+ years of project or program management experience, with at least 2 years leading AI/ML or data-driven projects.
• Certified Scrum Master (CSM, PSM I/II) or equivalent certification.
• Solid understanding of the AI/ML development lifecycle - data collection, model training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Proficiency with agile tools:
  Jira, Linear, Azure Devops, or equivalent.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience with project tracking methodologies:
  Kanban, SAFe, or hybrid frameworks.

• AI/ML Project Management
