Senior Consilio Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Overview
The Project Manager, AI is responsible for driving cross-functional execution across a rapidly growing AI product portfolio. This role ensures accountability for deliverables, maintains clear and consistent communication, and proactively fosters collaboration across product, engineering, data science, design, client-facing functions, and business operations. The ideal candidate excels in a startup-like, under-resourced environment where ambiguity is high, processes are evolving, and team members are expected to figure things out rather than trade scope or schedule.
This is not a Scrum Master role, though experience with Agile practices is helpful. This is a senior-level execution leadership role for someone with a bias toward action, who thrives in ambiguity, gets things done without waiting for permission to act, and is fully comfortable coloring outside the lines to drive outcomes.
Everyday use of AI tools for productivity, planning, communication, and analysis is expected.
