Contract Ai Project Management Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
McKinsey & Company is a global management consulting firm, and they are seeking a Manager of Software Delivery to lead their Contract AI initiatives. This role involves overseeing the delivery of AI-driven solutions for automated contract compliance, managing a team, and ensuring successful client engagements from start to finish.
Responsibilities:
• lead and coordinate a team of Software Delivery Specialists and client-embedded engineers
• assign work, track progress, resolve cross-team dependencies, and ensure the team is unblocked and performing
• be the client's primary technical contact
• build trusted relationships with client procurement and technology leadership
• communicate delivery status, surface risks proactively, and adapt plans when business requirements evolve
• configure and deploy the platform
• work hands-on with the Contract AI platform to configure extractors, define compliance cases, integrate with client ERP and procurement systems (SAP, Ariba), and validate accuracy of findings before each release
• drive value realization
• own the value capture tracking process — from leakage identification through client-validated recovery actions
• ensure clients realize measurable return on investment within the engagement timeline
• design and deliver structured training programs
• facilitate office-hours support
• execute the Build-Operate-Transfer handoff plan so the client team can operate the platform independently after the engagement
• contribute to platform reuse
• feed delivery learnings back into the product team — new compliance case patterns, extractor configurations, and integration templates that reduce setup time for future engagements
Qualifications:
Required:
• 8+ years of experience in software delivery, technical project management, or engineering management — with a track record of shipping production software on time in a client-facing context.
• Strong technical foundation: ability to understand and reason about the Contract AI tech stack (Python, C#/.NET, Azure, Generative AI pipelines) — you do not need to write production code daily, but you must be able to triage issues, assess technical risk, and have credible technical conversations with senior engineers and client architects
• Experience leading agile delivery teams: sprint ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, reviews, retros), backlog management, velocity tracking, and dependency resolution
• Understanding of Generative AI and agentic systems sufficient to configure, test, and validate AI-powered extraction and compliance workflows
• Demonstrated ability to manage client relationships in a consulting or managed-service context: stakeholder communication, expectation management, escalation handling
• Hands-on experience with Azure cloud environments: ability to read and reason about cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines (Azure DevOps), and monitoring dashboards
• Experience with enterprise system integrations: SAP, Ariba, ERP data feeds, or similar procurement and accounts-payable platforms is a strong plus
• Willingness to travel 40–60% of the time to client sites in the United States and internationally
• Strong written and verbal communication in English; ability to present delivery status and technical findings to non-technical client executives
Preferred:
• Prior experience deploying enterprise AI or analytics platforms in a Build-Operate-Transfer or managed-service delivery model
• Procurement, supply chain, or contract management domain knowledge
• Experience with change management and training delivery for enterprise software adoption and familiarity with value capture tracking methodologies and ROI reporting
