Role Description We’re looking for a Sr. Technical Project Manager (TPM) to drive delivery for complex, cross-functional initiatives—including those involving AI/ML and intelligent automation. You’ll balance scope, timeline, and dependencies while partnering across Engineering, Product, Data, Security, and Operations to deliver high-quality outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who can run tight execution rhythms and understand the unique delivery needs of AI work in the rollout of the AI-Driven SDLC (AIDLC). What You’ll Do - Own end-to-end project execution: plan, schedule, and drive delivery across the full project lifecycle, balancing constraints and keeping work moving forward in partnership with product and engineering counterparts. - Build and maintain project plans, track milestones, and proactively manage risks, issues, and tradeoffs—providing clear stakeholder updates with recommended solutions. - Serve as the PMO lead for the ML's agentic platform and customer-facing products — the structured methodology for developing, testing, deploying, and operating AI agents within MeridianLink’s agentic architecture. - Partner with engineering leads to embed AI into each SDLC phase: requirements (AI-assisted grooming agents), development (co-pilot and Claude Code standards), testing (test-driven development metrics), and release (zero-downtime deployment, feature flag governance). - Establish and continuously improve team processes that increase quality and productivity through process definition, education, and refinement. - Facilitate lightweight agile ceremonies (planning, standups, retrospectives) and drive continuous improvement through retrospective assessments. - Use tools such as Jira (and related reporting) to support teams and enable visibility into progress, capacity, and delivery health. Bridge product and engineering AI alignment. Qualifications - 7+ years of technical program management in a software engineering organization, with at least 2 years in an AI, ML, or platform transformation context. - Demonstrated experience managing AI/ML initiatives or SDLC modernization programs — not just awareness, but delivery ownership. - Fluency with AI-driven SDLC concepts: AI-assisted requirements, co-pilot/code generation tooling, test automation, agentic deployment, and observability. - Ability to translate engineering complexity into executive narratives and vice versa; strong stakeholder management across CTO, VPs, and ICs. - Experience running programs that span multiple scrum teams, including offshore-heavy organizations. - Hands-on with program/project tooling (Jira, Confluence, or equivalents) and familiarity with engineering metrics (DORA, SPACE, or similar frameworks). What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days) - Delivery plans are clear, realistic, and transparent; stakeholders consistently know status, risks, and next steps. - Dependencies are surfaced early and managed actively; team execution rhythms are consistent and effective. - AI-related initiatives have strong delivery hygiene (milestones, measurable outcomes, and aligned execution across data/Product/Engineering). Why This Role You’ll play a pivotal role in delivering cross-functional technology initiatives—and help the organization execute confidently as AI becomes a more central part of products and operations. You’ll bring clarity, momentum, and structure to complex work while partnering with leaders across Engineering, Product, and Data.
