Job description

About Janus Digital

Janus Digital™ is the agentic AI platform that runs the world’s real assets. Built on 15+ years of foundational R&D and more than $100M invested in platform development, our Intelligent Building Operating System autonomously senses, reasons, decides and acts across complex building environments in real time. We’re scaling this outcome-based model from our Dubai global operations across more than 50 markets, including the UK, the UAE, Turkey, Spain and Singapore.

The Opportunity

As Senior Project Manager, you’re the first responsible person for turning our AI vision into a physical reality — not just managing a timeline but orchestrating the transformation of a building into a fully autonomous, AI-governed asset. Based in London, you’ll own a project’s financial performance, technical scope, regulatory compliance and risk profile from initiation through to full autonomous operation, bridging the deterministic world of mechanical and electrical engineering with the probabilistic world of generative AI.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full project lifecycle — initiation through closing — with total accountability for P&A, margin and revenue realisation.
• Define the Work Breakdown Structure for complex building automation and legacy-system integration projects, and manage delivery across multiple concurrent sites.
• Oversee installation of IoT devices, gateways and BMS integrations, coordinating MEP reviews to identify infrastructure limitations before deployment.
• Manage the transition from supervised AI operation to reliable autonomy, working with AgentOps engineers on telemetry, monitoring and escalation design.
• Identify and mitigate cyber-physical risk, and manage project change requests against budget, timeline and compliance.
• Ensure delivery meets the UK regulatory landscape (BREEAM, the Building Safety Act 2022, ISO 19650, UK GDPR) in partnership with specialist teams.

• Train the trainer: Project manager should have experience in training people. Creating training programmes and delivering training.
• Act as primary client contact through UAT and a zero-gap handover into autonomous operation, and mentor Project Managers and Associate PMs across the Global Delivery team.

Requirements

What You’ll Bring

• Exceptional leadership, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to stay decisive under high-pressure, on-site conditions.
• Fluent written and spoken English.
• Right to work in the UK.

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Agile/Scrum delivery experience (PMI-ACP or CSM).
• Technical literacy in structured digital building models, BIM, ISO 19650 and smart building protocols (BACnet, Modbus, KNX).
• Working knowledge of converged IT/OT security and data-privacy frameworks (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

• Chartered status or membership of a relevant professional body (CIBSE, IET, RICS or APM).
