• Resource Allocation
  • Assess and allocate necessary resources, including personnel, software, and hardware, to ensure the project is adequately supported.
  • Monitor resource utilization and make adjustments as needed to avoid bottlenecks or resource constraints.
• Risk Management
  • Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies with the subject matter experts to minimize impact on the project timeline and deliverables.
  • Regularly review and update the risk management plan to reflect changes in the project landscape.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• 5+ years of experience and a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Extensive project management experience, preferably in software development for advanced algorithms.
• Demonstrable understanding of optimization, applied probability, and AI/ML technology.
• Excellent leadership, team management, and interpersonal skills.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and decision‑making capabilities.
