Project Overview: Data, AI, and ML, Google

• We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Technical Project Manager to join our team for a project with Google. This project focuses on building a unified platform that delivers dynamic, near-real-time data on brand perception, competitor actions, and consumer behavior.

• You'll be working with a talented team on a solution that empowers marketers to optimize campaigns on the fly, enables insights professionals to conduct deeper, faster analysis, and provides executives with clear visibility into marketing performance. 

• The project will leverage GCP and Google AI/ML components, including, but not limited to: BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Vertex AI, Gemini 1.5 Pro, Gemini 1.5 Flash, db-types, Google Auth, Google API Core, Google API Python Client, App Engine, mpuCote Engine, Redis Memory Store (Cache), RAG applications, advanced analyses, and modeling.

In this role, you will:

• Demonstrate program delivery proficiency in data, AI, and ML engagements, including understanding real-time data architectures, AI/ML pipelines, and generative AI concepts.
• Use your knowledge of data engineering tools and technologies (like BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Vertex AI, Gemini) to translate technical requirements into actionable project plans.
• Use your project management expertise to manage complex, large-scale data and AI projects, and apply agile methodologies and iterative development.
• Manage project timelines, budgets, and resources effectively, and use your risk management and problem-solving skills.
• Provide leadership and team management by leading and mentoring technical teams, fostering a collaborative and high-performing team environment.
• Use your stakeholder management and communication skills, including excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Manage diverse stakeholders, including senior executives, and gather buy-in from them.
• Show agility and adaptability by thriving in a fast-paced and dynamic environment, adapting to changing requirements and priorities, and proactively solving problems and making decisions.

We'd look for you to be able to bring:

• Experience in successfully managing projects that have been designed and implemented with real-time data architectures.
• A strong understanding of the AI/ML lifecycle, from data preparation to model deployment.
• A proactive approach to staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in data and AI technologies, and the ability to quickly learn new data technologies to meet project deadlines.
• Experience in managing project timelines and budgets, especially when dealing with uncertainty and changing requirements.
• Deep experience with Agile methodologies and the ability to apply Agile principles to a range of different project environments.
• A leadership style that motivates teams and fosters a collaborative and inclusive team environment.
• Skills in handling conflict within a team, and experience in mentoring and developing team members.
• Excellent communication skills to convey project progress and updates to stakeholders with varying technical backgrounds.
• Proven ability to gather requirements and gain buy-in from stakeholders, even when they don't have a dedicated project manager or project owner.
