• Partner with security, IT, and legal to ensure AI solutions meet governance, compliance, IP, and data privacy requirements.
• Define and track success metrics (quality, cycle time, cost, user adoption, ROI) for AI initiatives; iterate based on data and user feedback.
• Evangelize AI and agentic AI best practices across Virtuos, coaching teams on how to identify high value use cases and integrate AI safely and effectively.
• Mentor junior project managers and technical leads in modern project management, risk management, and delivery practices.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Minimum 10 years of experience in technical project or program management, with at least 5 years leading complex, multi stakeholder technology initiatives.
• Strong track record delivering software, data, or platform projects end to end in gaming, media, or similarly complex tech environments.
• Hands on experience working with AI/ML, GenAI, or intelligent automation projects (e.g., LLMs, agents, recommendation systems, smart tooling).
• Solid understanding of agentic AI concepts (multi agent orchestration, tool using agents, workflows, safety/guardrails) and modern AI frameworks.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate with engineering leaders, data scientists, MLOps, and DevOps to deliver reliable, scalable systems.
• Strong command of Agile project management, with experience tailoring methodologies for R&D and production contexts.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to engage both technical and non technical audiences across regions and cultures.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field; Master's degree a plus.
• Relevant certifications (PMP, PMI ACP, Scrum Master, SAFe, or similar) are preferred, not mandatory.

Preferred / nice-to-have

• Experience in AAA or AA game development, game tools, or digital content pipelines.
• Prior work with cloud platforms, data platforms, and CI/CD for AI/ML systems.
