Project Manager - Microsoft AI Business Solutions

Cognitive Group | Part of the Focus Cloud Group is looking for a Project Manager - Microsoft AI Business Solutions

Job description

About the Role


We're looking for exceptional Project Managers who thrive in fast-paced AI delivery. You'll coordinate multiple concurrent AI projects and programmes, ensuring our delivery teams have what they need before they need it. This means phenomenal stakeholder engagement, proactive problem-solving, and making complexity look effortless. This isn't traditional project management. AI projects come with ambiguity, rapid evolution, and a mix of qualitative and quantitative success metrics. You'll manage everything from proof of concepts that go straight to production, to larger programmes with multiple moving parts.

  • Coordinate stakeholder engagement and alignment across customers and delivery teams through exceptional communication
  • Ensure proactive stakeholder management and change controls, maintaining clarity and alignment throughout project lifecycles
  • Anticipate team needs and support removal of blockers proactively, ensuring delivery teams have resources, information, and decisions before they're blocked
  • Manage projects costs and budgets based on defined project plans, resourcing plans and change requests
  • Track and report on qualitative and quantitative success metrics specific to AI delivery
  • Manage ambiguity and scope evolution inherent in AI projects, maintaining flexibility whilst controlling delivery
  • Coordinate PoC to production transitions where applicable, ensuring smooth handover and deployment
  • Manage RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) proactively across all projects
  • Lead PMO activities and project administration, maintaining high-quality delivery artefacts
  • Execute project reporting to stakeholders with clarity and timeliness
  • Ensure project governance compliance and facilitate governance forums effectively
  • Execute time recording and feedback activities across project teams


Required Skills



  • Exceptional stakeholder communication and engagement
  • Proactive problem-solving and anticipation of team needs
  • Managing ambiguity and adapting to changing project dynamics
  • Calm under pressure whilst juggling multiple priorities
  • Detail-oriented without losing sight of the bigger picture
  • Emotional intelligence and team support
  • Commercial awareness and cost management
  • Building trust with customers and delivery teams
  • Experience in the financial sector is crucial for this role


Preferred Skills


  • MS Copilot/GenAI
  • M365
  • Power Platform

£50,000 - £65,000 plus bonus scheme
