Responsibilities
You will own delivery across multiple significant client engagements, typically our most strategic accounts
You will run agile process for each team, drive sprint planning and refinement, and sit in the client conversations that set direction
You will write a lot of specs — better specs than most people write today, because AI gives you the time to think things through more carefully
You will run scrum for teams of senior engineers who are themselves heavy AI users; they do not need someone who tracks tickets, they need a partner who can engage substantively on an architectural decision and push back on a half-formed user story
You will be on calls with C-level clients walking them through progress and, at times, having the harder conversation about saying no
And you will be looking, constantly, at how we deliver — where AI can take cost out, where it can shorten cycle time, and where a new tool changes what is possible
Qualification
Required
Delivery management, technical project management, product ownership, or business analysis experience. Consulting or services background strongly preferred
Technical fluency to operate alongside senior engineers. You can read code, follow a system diagram, and engage substantively on API design or technical trade-offs. Prior hands-on software experience is the most common path to that fluency, but it is not the only one — what matters is that you can hold your own on a technical conversation
Active, daily use of AI tools in your delivery work — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or comparable. You can walk us through how you use them, what you ask them to do, and where you have learned not to trust them
A working command of prompt design and context engineering. You have informed opinions on how to structure a prompt, what context to provide, when to decompose work into steps, and how to evaluate the result. Familiarity with system prompts, agents, skills, and MCP is a strong plus
A genuine interest in helping organizations improve through the disciplined application of AI. You treat AI as a craft to develop and teach, not a checkbox to satisfy
Practical command of agile and scrum. You have run sprints, owned a backlog, and shipped software in a team-based environment
Proven ability to manage multiple client engagements with competing priorities and shifting timelines
Excellent written and verbal communication. You write clearly, communicate proactively, and adjust your approach for your audience. Communication is not a bonus skill in this role — it is the role
Ownership and follow-through as a defining trait. You close loops, raise issues early, and do what you said you were going to do. Non-negotiable
Demonstrated ability to manage up. You bring leadership the context to act, not just the problem
Preferred
A background in software development. A coder, engineer, or hands-on technical lead who has moved into a product owner, product manager, or delivery role is exactly the profile we are hoping to find. It is not required, but it is a big plus
Familiarity with Spec-Driven Development as a practice. GitHub Spec Kit experience is a plus
Hands-on time with Azure DevOps and GitHub for backlog management and CI/CD
Experience with Microsoft Azure, Power Platform, Dataverse, or Dynamics 365
Scrum certifications (CSM, CSPO, SAFe, PSPO)
A blog, an open-source contribution, a side project, or a Claude skill, MCP, or agent you have built. Anything showing how you think about AI in practice
Benefits
A Claude Max account
GitHub Copilot
Our internal library of Claude skills, MCP servers, and delivery agents — and a real opportunity to extend and build new ones
Microsoft Copilot across the M365 suite
Time and budget to experiment with whatever new tooling looks promising
