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 (experimentation, data readiness, evaluation, governance, and iteration) 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 light weight 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., * 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. ## Related Videos - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Getting Started with Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/260-getting-started-with-machine-learning) - [Reality and Beyond: Coding a Drone Using {Unity 3D .NET} and ChatGPT AI!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/702-reality-and-beyond-coding-a-drone-using-unity-3d-net-and-chatgpt-ai) - [AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100340-ai-driven-development) - [Integrate your Cognitive Assistant with 3rd-party DBs and software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/249-integrate-your-cognitive-assistant-with-3rd-party-dbs-and-software) - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1148-you-are-not-an-ai-developer) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care)
