Job Description

This role sits within NCS AI Central's (AIC) Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) model — the combined capability that takes AI solutions from proof-of-concept through to hardened production systems. As AI Delivery Project Manager / Scrum Master, you own delivery of the FDE lifecycle for your squad (Discover → POC → POV → PRR → Scale → Operate), run Agile ceremonies tuned for AI/Gen AI's iterative, evidence-driven nature, and act as the primary link between engineering delivery, AI Mission, AI Experience, and client/business stakeholders — across both fast-moving FDE engagements and steady-state system development and maintenance work.

What will you do?

1. FDE Lifecycle Ownership

• Own delivery of the squad's engagement through the FDE lifecycle — Discover, POC, POV, PRR, Scale, Operate — tracking where each workstream sits and what's needed to move it to the next gate.
• Plan and execute short-cycle POCs/POVs from concept to evaluation, including receiving and refining scoped opportunities handed off from AI Mission.
• Define minimal scope, success criteria, and timelines appropriate to each lifecycle stage; prioritize features based on value, feasibility, and constraints.
• Coordinate the PRR (Production Readiness Review) gate as the delivery-side owner — tracking the five-pillar checklist (Evaluation & Quality, Security/Governance/Compliance, Model & Token Strategy, and others) to readiness, in partnership with the AI Architect and AI/LLM Specialist.

2. Agile Leadership for AI Squads (Scrum Master)

• Run lightweight Agile ceremonies — daily stand-ups, sprint planning & refinement, demo reviews, and retrospectives — adapted for AI/Gen AI work, where "done" often means a measured evaluation result, not just shipped code.
• Promote velocity, transparency, and continuous improvement across experimentation-heavy sprints.
• Unblock progress quickly — including chasing down data access, model access, or compliance sign-offs that commonly stall AI engagements — and minimize ceremony overhead.

3. AI Delivery Risk & Feasibility Management

• Maintain a working risk register specific to AI delivery — hallucination
