Shape the adoption of AI-enabled ways of working across a major CLIENT AI Programme.
This is an exciting opportunity to join Deloitte Operations on a high-profile engagement supporting key elements of the CLIENT AI Programme.
The Role
We are seeking two Senior Project Managers to work within a programme structure and lead delivery of key outcomes across one of the programme workstreams. The successful candidates will bring significant project management experience, ideally gained in a complex regulated environment, and will be confident working with senior business stakeholders and product-based technology delivery teams.
Experience in one or more of the following areas would be highly desirable:
- Implementation of AI, particularly Agentic AI
- Implementation of HR solutions
- Managing a key workstream within a wider AI programme
Key Responsibilities
- Lead delivery of complex workstreams within the CLIENT AI Programme.
- Maintain momentum and delivery focus across high-risk, high-ambiguity and interdependent environments.
- Exercise sound judgement and autonomy in delivery decisions, including prioritisation, trade-offs and escalation.
- Influence senior and executive stakeholders, resolving tensions and driving alignment across organisational boundaries.
- Assess complex delivery challenges, evaluate options and lead the development of effective, proportionate solutions.
- Manage delivery risk at scale, including cross-project and portfolio-level dependencies.
- Provide clear, concise and authoritative reporting and assurance to senior governance forums.
- Lead and develop teams through line management, coaching, performance management and capability building.
- Apply project delivery methodologies and governance frameworks proportionately to complex delivery contexts.
- Own budgets, forecasting and value-for-money considerations, taking corrective action where delivery tolerances are at risk.
- Navigate organisational complexity and deliver outcomes through influence and strong political awareness.
