Job summary

You will coordinate with POs, architects, and leads, and manage dependencies across vendors to ensure on-time outcomes. The role emphasizes tracking AI complexity, cost per unit, and throughput while continuously improving the process and delivering value for clients.

Qualifications

• Experience leading delivery of multi-team software programs with external vendors, in a client-facing role.

• Hands-on with AI coding tools, with first-hand experience of AI-native ways of working in a team.

• Strong communication with senior client stakeholders, and the judgment to escape early.
• Insurance or financial services background is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Estimate each approved project with the POs, the lead developer and the architects.
• Turn the estimate into a plan: milestones, sprints, pod capacity and staffing against the backlog having in mind capacity measured in AI Complexity Points.
• Map dependencies up front across teams, value streams and vendors with owners and dates.
• Execute against the plan, track progress and re-plan as needed.
• Raise risks and slippage early, with causes and decisions.
• Report throughput in complexity points, cycle time, defects and rework.
• Own the stream's part of the complexity-point baseline and move pods to committed output.
• Move pods through the AI factory ramp when the team is new.
• Track AI adoption and productivity per pod and per person.
• Track AI cost per pod, per person and per ticket.
• Run a continuous improvement program for the stream.
• Set targets for cost per complexity point and cost per unit of work.
• Pass improvements to pods and measure the effect.
• Keep savings visible and tie to EPAM margin.
