Responsibilities:

• Plan and manage AI platform and infrastructure projects from initiation through transition, including OIGChat enhancements, Azure AI Foundry and Azure OpenAI enablement, and the move of pilot AI applications into production or shared platform services, maintaining integrated schedules, scope, dependencies, and milestones

• Maintain project risk, issue, and dependency registers, support Agile planning with the engineering team and Government Product Owner, and report status, schedule, and cost clearly to Government stakeholders
• Serve as the project-level coordination point with Government M365, Entra ID, Azure Government, and cybersecurity teams, ensuring contractor work does not affect tenant services, conditional access policies, or enterprise identity configurations without Government direction
• Develop AI platform implementation plans, project schedules, and operations, performance, and cost reports, provide inputs to monthly progress reports, and serve as alternate to the Program Manager when designated

Note: Primarily remote with possible regular onsite presence in Washington, D.C. Candidates within driving distance of D.C. encouraged to apply.
