We're supporting a global technology-driven organisation on a strategically critical GenAI programme and are looking for an experienced Project Manager to provide interim leadership during a period of transition. This is a high-impact role driving the second phase of a major AI platform initiative, strengthening shared capabilities, improving scalability, and enabling faster delivery of AI-powered products used worldwide.

If you thrive in complex environments, enjoy orchestrating cross-functional delivery, and want to contribute to a programme shaping the future of AI-enabled research, this is an opportunity worth exploring.

You'll take ownership of delivering Phase 2 of a multi-workstream GenAI platform programme. Phase 1 delivered several AI-powered products at pace; Phase 2 now focuses on building the robust, reusable foundations that will support long-term innovation and cost-efficient scaling.

You'll be responsible for coordinating engineering, data science, architecture, product, and business teams to deliver measurable outcomes across areas such as:

• Evolution of agentic frameworks
• Machine-to-machine communication capabilities
• Evaluation tooling and automated rating frameworks
• Observability, governance, and cost-tracking dashboards
• AI-ready content ingestion and search quality improvements
• Platform scaling and onboarding of additional data products

This is a delivery-critical role with visibility at senior levels and a clear mandate to drive clarity, alignment, and momentum.

We're looking for someone who brings:

• Proven experience delivering large-scale platform, AI/ML, or data-heavy technology programmes.
• A proactive, risk-aware mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and drive clarity.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at all levels.
• Excellent communication skills, balancing technical depth with executive-level reporting.
• Experience translating strategy into actionable delivery plans.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and strategic thinking capabilities.
• Solid grounding in Agile, Lean, or SAFe delivery methods.
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, or MS Project.
• Experience in research, publishing, information services, or similar environments is a bonus.

If you're a seasoned Project Manager who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments and want to contribute to a programme with real societal impact, we'd love to speak with you.
