Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced AI Project Manager to lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of AI-enabled initiatives supporting Marketing & Communications transformation.

This role will serve as the critical bridge between Marketing business stakeholders and AI/Technology development teams, ensuring AI initiatives successfully progress from initial concept and prioritization through development, pilot, adoption, and measurable business impact.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable working in a highly collaborative environment, partnering with global technology teams primarily based in Ireland and India, while aligning with U.S.-based Marketing and business stakeholders.

This is not an AI Engineer role. The successful candidate does not need to develop AI models; however, they must have enough AI knowledge to identify business use cases, evaluate opportunities, challenge assumptions, support governance requirements, and coordinate successful delivery with engineering and technical teams.

Candidates should have experience with digital marketing, content management, web/social media marketing, marketing technology, communications platforms, or digital transformation initiatives.

Facilitate governance reviews and ensure approvals, actions, assumptions, and decisions are documented.

Maintain alignment between Marketing, Technology, and leadership teams.

Success Measures

AI initiatives have clearly defined scope, ownership, milestones, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and measurable KPIs.

Delivery progresses successfully from discovery and activation through pilot, implementation, and operational support.

Risks, resource constraints, data challenges, and dependencies are identified and addressed early.

AI solutions are implemented responsibly with appropriate governance, stakeholder confidence, and adoption support.

Required Qualifications

5 7+ years of project/program management experience

Experience leading complex initiatives within large, global organizations.

Coordinating global engineering and business teams.

Driving AI adoption and measurable business outcomes.

Creating structure in ambiguous environments.
