We help organizations move from AI experimentation to measurable return on investment across four practices: AI Strategy and Advisory, Workforce Training and Enablement, Process Optimization, and Custom AI Development. Our work sits with executives and the people who do the actual work, and it is judged on whether something changed in production, not on whether a pilot looked good in a deck.\nPosition Overview\nAjaia is hiring a Technical Project Manager to run delivery on client AI builds from kickoff to a system that actually works in production. You will triage the pile of requests that lands on your desk this week, keep a mess of moving parts organized without dropping a thread, and know enough about the code to call out what will not hold up before a client ever sees it. You are not the person who decided what to build. You are the person who makes sure it gets built, on time, on scope, and honestly reported the whole way through.\nThis is a technical seat with a delivery mandate. You should be able to sit down and build a working automation yourself when that is faster than explaining to someone else what to build. We care far more about what you can build and run than how long you have held a title.\nCompensation: $90,000 to $175,000 base, plus a performance bonus of up to 100% of base salary.\nHow we expect you to work\nAI use is a core execution requirement at Ajaia, not optional tooling. You will use AI daily to draft status updates, stand up small automations, generate test data, and get a first pass on a code review, then apply your own judgment on top. Project managers at Ajaia write code: a script that cleans up a messy dataset, an automation that wires two systems together. You should be able to do that yourself, and comfortable saying when an AI-generated first draft is wrong.\nStaying current on new tools is part of the job, and so is being straight with people: an engineer on a technical risk, a client on a date.\nWhat you will do\nBuild working automations and scripts yourself when that solves the problem faster than a meeting would.\nRead the code. Call out specifically what will break in production, not just whether the ticket is checked off.\nKeep a lot of moving parts straight at once: the backlog, the risk list, three overlapping deadlines, and whichever client is calling today.\nTriage ruthlessly. A pile of requests lands every week, and deciding what gets worked now and what waits is most of the job.\nWrite to clients like a person. Plain, specific, and honest, especially when the news is not great.\nOwn the delivery plan for your engagements end to end: sequencing, dependencies, and the date.\nUnblock technical decisions inside the team, then live with the consequence of the call you made.\nEscalate risks as soon as you see them, not after they have already cost the date.\nDefine done for a deliverable before the engineer starts building it, not after they finish.\nStay on the number after go-live long enough to know whether adoption is real or the dashboard is lying.\nRequirements\nHighly organized across many moving parts at once: a backlog, several risks, more than one client.\nReads code and specs well enough to say what will break in production.\nBuilds small automations and scripts to solve problems fast.\nCalm, clear, honest client communication, especially when the news is bad.\nAI fluent: uses AI daily to draft, build, and check work, and can tell good output from slop.\nComfortable making priority calls under pressure and owns them.\nTwo or more years in technical delivery, program management, or a comparable role.\nOn-site in New York, with client-site travel as engagements require.\nA bachelor's degree is preferred and is not a requirement.\nNice to have\nA GitHub profile or other public evidence of what you have shipped.\nWorking fluency in Python, SQL, or a no-code tool such as n8n, Zapier, or Make.\nExperience on a small consulting or professional services delivery team.\nExposure to a regulated or operationally complex industry such as logistics, healthcare, or financial services.\nBenefits\nCompetitive benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4170,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Custom Software Development","AI Consulting & Integration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T01:21:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":16,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.365,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":43,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":175000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ajaia-technical-project-manager-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ajaia-technical-project-manager-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T09:40:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14700,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":668887},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=668887"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fajaia-technical-project-manager-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fajaia-technical-project-manager-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fajaia-technical-project-manager-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ajaia-technical-project-manager-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fajaia-technical-project-manager-2"}]}
