Job summary

Moog Inc. in Buffalo, NY, seeks an AI Program Manager to own prioritization, governance, and delivery across the AI Enablement Center’s initiatives. Translate strategy into a roadmap, sequence work, and report ROI to governance bodies.

You will manage intake, prioritization across AI model types, and run portfolio governance with a focus on execution discipline and timely status updates. Relocation to the Buffalo area is required for onsite work.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
• 8+ years of program or portfolio management experience, ideally within technology, digital transformation, or innovation functions.
• Demonstrated ability to drive prioritization discipline in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment.
• Strong executive reporting and synthesis skills, with comfort presenting portfolio status to senior governance bodies.
• PMP, PgMP, or equivalent program management certification preferred.
• Comfortable operating within a governance structure set by others, rather than setting strategy independently.
• Familiarity with AI/ML delivery patterns is a plus; execution discipline matters more than deep technical AI depth.
• Must live local to the Buffalo, NY area, or be willing to relocate, to work onsite.

Responsibilities

• Translate steering committee-approved strategy, investment thresholds, and portfolio allocation into an executable AEC roadmap and operating cadence.
• Own intake, prioritization, and sequencing of AEC-supported initiatives across all three AI model types (M1 / M2 / M3).
• Run the AEC’s portfolio governance rhythm: status reporting, risk/issue tracking, resource allocation, and stage-gate reviews.
• Own enterprise AI performance & ROI monitoring, consolidating results across operating groups for steering committee reporting.
• Maintain a rolling two-to-three-year roadmap view that informs, but does not replace, the steering committee’s strategic planning process.
• Identify and escalate cross-group conflicts, duplicated initiatives, or resourcing constraints before they become blockers.
• Partner with Operating Group leads to confirm local use case prioritization aligns with enterprise portfolio guardrails.
• Maintain a lightweight, consistent intake and governance process that operating groups experience as an accelerant, not a bottleneck.
