Data & AI Delivery Lead - Technical Project Management (US Only)

About the role

We're hiring a Data & AI Delivery Lead to help scale our consulting practice and deliver exceptional outcomes for clients. You'll take engagements once they're scoped and own them from kickoff through completion: working closely with leadership and engineering teams to drive execution, manage client relationships, anticipate risk, and ensure every commitment lands on time or ahead of schedule. This is a client-facing role where you'll turn complex data and AI initiatives into outcomes operators, investors, and executives can understand, trust, and act on.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery across multiple client engagements from kickoff through close
• Keep delivery anchored to the client's objectives
• Ensure the team understands what we're building, why it matters, and what success looks like
• Lead client and internal meetings: set the agenda, drive decisions, and own the follow-through
• Take a scoped engagement and turn it into an executable delivery plan; manage timelines, dependencies, and evolving requirements; keep the team aligned
• Proactively identify delivery risks, manage scope, and ensure clients always understand where things stand
• Manage vendors and delivery partners; keep their work on scope, on time, and to standard
• Use AI agents to accelerate delivery, improve quality, and rethink how work gets done
• Contribute to building standardized, repeatable approaches as we scale
• Translate complex technical work into business-friendly deliverables that answer the actual question a client is asking
• Hold the quality bar on what ships; ensure the output is clear, correct, and decision-ready, not just complete
• Run hands-on validation: spot-check data, sanity-check KPIs, and test agent outputs

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience delivering data, analytics, or AI projects, with a track record of successfully managing complex client-facing engagements
• Working familiarity with modern data and analytics workflows, from ingestion through modeling to BI
• Experience partnering closely with engineers, data scientists, analysts, and technical teams to deliver successful outcomes
• A strong communicator, in writing and in person; able to lead a room and push back with a client when it matters
• Clear, practical experience using AI agents to optimize delivery
• A disciplined project manager with strong planning and scope control
• Experience managing vendors or delivery partners
• Curious about the client's business; eager to learn how senior living communities operate
• Consulting or client-services experience is highly preferred, but not required

Who Succeeds Here

You'll thrive here if you:

• Love bringing order to complex, multi-workstream client work
• Enjoy earning the trust of executives, operators, and investors
• Can switch comfortably between a project plan, a SQL query, and a board-ready presentation
• Care as much about how work is delivered as what gets delivered
• Want to help build the delivery engine of a fast-growing analytics and AI company

Benefits

• Base: $110,000
• Bonus: 15-20%
