    Job Description

    Job Description:

    Key Responsibilities

    • Manage full project lifecycle (charter, plan, RACI, risk register, reporting) for IT Projects.

    • Coordinate cross-functional teams across multi-workstream programs.

    • Own project financials - budget, resourcing, and cost governance with IT FinOps.

    • Lead sprint planning and release management for AI initiatives (AVA AI, multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, Internal AI).

    • Track technical debt, build failures, and dependency risks with engineering leads.

    • Own project plans and resourcing for projects, migrations, and dashboard delivery.

    • Partner with Infrastructure on network, systems, cloud, and endpoint initiatives.

    • Partner with CISO on security/compliance projects (audits, risk remediation, access governance), applying the same governance rigor as AI initiatives.

    • Connect PM layer across IT sub-functions, managing cross-team dependencies (apps, data, AI, infrastructure, security).

    • Facilitate steering committee updates; escalate risks proactively.

    • Run Agile ceremonies via Kaleris PMO application and maintain roadmaps.

    • Drive change management, UAT, and go-live readiness.

    • Track sprint velocity, release readiness, and adoption metrics.

    • Report portfolio status and financials to CIO/ELT/SLT.

    • Translate stakeholder requirements into backlog items.

    • Maintain relationships with stakeholders and team leads.

    • Contribute to PMO governance standards and templates.

    Required Qualifications

    • 7-10+ years of IT project management experience, including proven experience concurrently managing three or more delivery tracks across: enterprise applications (Salesforce/ERP/Certinia), AI/data platform initiatives, BI/analytics platforms, infrastructure, and security/compliance programs.

    • Familiarity with Azure (AI Foundry, DevOps, Key Vault, App Service) and GitHub-based CI/CD workflows.

    • Strong command of Jira/Confluence and project management tool for agile execution tracking across multiple concurrent workstreams.

    • Demonstrated ability to serve as the single accountable PM across three or more simultaneous cross-domain tracks (applications, infrastructure, AI/BI, and/or security), rather than sequential or single-domain projects.

    • Familiarity with IT security/compliance project constructs (audit remediation, access reviews, risk registers) sufficient to manage timelines and stakeholder communication.

    • Excellent stakeholder management, written/verbal communication, and executive reporting skills.

    • PMP, PMI-ACP, CSM, or SAFe certification preferred.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience owning project artifacts (deployment guides, stage-gate/risk reviews).

    • Experience working alongside CISO/security teams on compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar).

    • Exposure to infrastructure/cloud operations projects (network, identity, endpoint, or data center/cloud migration).

    • Experience operating within a growing/scaling PMO function, including building or refining governance templates.

    Core Competencies

    • Proven ability to run three or more concurrent delivery tracks simultaneously - spanning applications, AI, data, infrastructure, and security - without dedicated track-specific support staff.

    • Strong project delivery governance instincts - comfortable owning risk/compliance checkpoints, not just schedules.

    • Executive-level communication and stakeholder influence.

    • Comfort operating at the intersection of business process and emerging technology (AI/BI).

    • Strong risk and dependency management instincts, including in security and compliance contexts.

    Education

    • Bachelor's degree in IT, Business, Data Analytics, or related field.

    Kaleris is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
