Job description

Our Enterprise AI team is focused on advancing AI for our business and our clients. We run a growing list of products, projects and initiatives across the Jacobs Enterprise and are looking for a motivated, highly organized Program Manager who can connect these into one clear view for accountability and delivery. You will oversee these core priorities for the Enterprise AI team, overseeing the individual teams executing this work to track progress, maintain schedule and budget, track milestones, and maintain an overall view of everything within the program. Your work will ensure AI is accelerated and delivered, with demonstrable impact, and will be a pivotal role in the continued evolution of AI at Jacobs.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain one unified delivery plan across all Enterprise AI work, with clear milestones, dependencies, and a shared schedule.

  • Track budgets and spend across the portfolio, and give leaders an early, honest read on cost, risk, and progress.

  • Keep project managers, product owners, and initiative leads accountable to schedule and delivery, without taking over their work.

  • Serve as the primary point for escalation and for coordination.

  • Work with supporting functions such as IT and the Operating Units.

  • Produce executive-level reports and summaries that turn detail into clear decisions.

  • 5+ years managing complex programs or portfolios, including several projects running in parallel.

Requirements

  • Hands-on Agile and Scrum experience, and the judgement to adapt the approach to the work.

  • Strong command of budgets, forecasting, and delivery metrics.

  • A track record of clear executive communication, on the page and in the room.

  • High attention to detail

Preferred

  • Experience delivering AI, data, or other technology programs.

  • PMP, plus an Agile credential such as PMI-ACP, SAFe, or Certified ScrumMaster.

  • Familiarity with portfolio tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps, MS Project, or Smartsheet.

  • Experience in a large, matrixed, relationship-driven organization.

Minimum Education & preferred focus areas

  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, technology, or a related field is preferred, not required. Equivalent experience delivering complex projects and/or programs is valued just as highly.
