About the role
We are recruiting for a Technical Project Manager to join the AI Research division of a leading global technology company.
This role will support a multidisciplinary team of researchers and engineers working on advanced artificial intelligence projects. You will act as the central point of coordination across multiple workstreams, helping to structure projects, track progress, manage risks and remove blockers.
This is not a coding or hands-on research position, but you will need enough technical understanding of AI and machine learning to work effectively with research and engineering teams.
Key responsibilities
- Coordinate projects and workstreams across research, engineering and cross-functional teams.
- Track milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks and mitigations.
- Communicate research plans, progress and outcomes to stakeholders.
- Translate strategic objectives into clear project plans and timelines.
- Maintain project trackers, Gantt-style plans and status reporting.
- Identify blockers and coordinate actions to keep projects moving.
- Support researchers with milestone planning, project documentation and reporting.
- Help manage team capacity and resources, including technical infrastructure and GPU requirements.
- Work with legal, communications, policy and risk teams to progress reviews and approvals.
- Coordinate data-use reviews for new benchmarks and support open-source activity.
- Analyse information and translate it into recommendations and actions.
- Provide onsite support to triage fast-moving issues affecting the London team.
- Build strong working relationships with senior stakeholders, researchers, engineers and junior team members.
- Help create structure and clarity in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.
