We help clients tackle complex challenges across accounting, financial reporting, transactions, regulatory compliance, digital transformation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. We blend deep technical expertise with a hands-on, entrepreneurial approach to help the world’s leading companies move forward with confidence.\nCFGI is expanding its Data & AI practice across Asia-Pacific and is seeking a Technical Project Manager to lead client delivery. You run data-engineering, artificial-intelligence-engineering and strategy engagements from contract\nsignature to client acceptance, and engineering work through to production handover. You lead a team of\nengineers, run delivery on agile principles and act as the client's day-to-day point of contact.\nYou will deliver client data and artificial-intelligence engagements on time, on budget and to the agreed scope. Our\nengagements run end to end and across the full stack. They span data strategy and architecture, data\nplatforms and pipelines, agentic and generative-artificial-intelligence solutions, and the operation of those\nsolutions in production. You turn the signed statement of work into a plan and a backlog, and you lead the\nteam that delivers it.\nThis is a technical role, not just a coordination role, so deep engineering experience is required to challenge an estimate, read an architecture and judge a technical trade-off with the architect. Artificial-intelligence work can add\nuncertainty from data, evaluation and model behaviour. You plan for that with time-boxed experiments,\nacceptance criteria based on evaluation results, and early checks on whether the client's data is ready.\nWhat you might expect:\nMobilise each engagement. You convert the proposal and statement of work into a release plan, a prioritised backlog, milestones, acceptance criteria, a responsibility matrix and a governance cadence agreed with the client.\nRun agile delivery. You facilitate Scrum events where Scrum is used, and you manage workflow, work-in-progress limits and flow measures where Kanban is used. Where a client needs fixed-fee milestones or formal stage gates, you adapt governance to those contractual and regulatory requirements.\nLead the delivery team. You agree capacity and commitments with the engineers, remove blockers and set working norms for teams of typically three to ten engineers. The team often spans CFGI engineers and partner engineers in several Asia-Pacific time zones. You coach junior team members, while the engineers' line management stays with the partner.Own the client relationship day to day. You prepare and chair steering committees, write clear status reports and manage expectations. You raise risks and decisions early, in business terms, so that sponsors can act before an issue affects the timeline. \n\nControl scope, budget and commercials. You track effort against fixed-fee and time-and-materials budgets, forecast the cost at completion and protect the engagement margin. You include cloud, platform and model-consumption costs in the forecast. You also separate backlog refinement within the agreed scope from changes to contractual scope, fees or milestones, which need the client's signed approval before work starts.\nManage risks, dependencies and quality. You keep the risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies log current. Typical dependencies include client data access, environment provisioning and security approvals. Your definition of done covers testing, evaluation thresholds, documentation and the control evidence that regulated clientsrequire.\n\nSteer artificial-intelligence delivery specifically. You agree stop, pivot and scale criteria with the sponsor before a proof of concept starts. A solution moves to production only when evaluation results meet the agreed threshold and the model-risk and data-privacy sign-offs are in place. You also design human review steps with the client's process owners.\nCoordinate release readiness. With the architect and the client's owners, you confirm security and privacy review, monitoring, rollback and support ownership before each release. For agentic solutions, you agree the permitted actions, human approvals and escalation paths.\n Plan validation in regulated work. In healthcare and life-sciences engagements where good-practice (GxP) rules apply, you plan validation and its evidence from the start. You also bring clinical, quality and safety owners into the design of acceptance tests.\nHand over to production and to run. You plan cut-over, hypercare and the transition to the client's team or to a CFGI managed service, with runbooks, service levels and support arrangements agreed in advance. The handover names who owns model performance in production, including the drift thresholds and the run-cost budget.\nBuild the practice's delivery playbook. You create reusable plans, templates and estimation baselines from each engagement. You also support the partner on proposals by preparing estimates, staffing plans and delivery approaches.\nWhat you must have:\n6+ years of experience in technology delivery, with at least 3 years leading client-facing data, analytics, artificial-intelligence or software-engineering projects.\n\nWhat sets you apart:\nHands-on experience leading engineering teams of three or more, including distributed teams and teams combining internal, vendor or partner engineers.\nPractical experience running Scrum and Kanban teams and selecting agile, waterfall or hybrid delivery approaches to suit client needs.\nExperience translating statements of work into delivery plans, backlogs, milestones, acceptance criteria and governance routines.\nExperience managing fixed-fee and time-and-materials budgets, forecasts, change requests, subcontractor delivery and engagement economics.\nTechnical fluency across data platforms and pipelines, APIs, system integration, cloud environments and continuous integration and delivery.\nUnderstanding of AI delivery, including retrieval-augmented generation, agents, model evaluation, machine-learning operations, data readiness and production monitoring.\nExperience working with software development lifecycle practices, testing, change management, security reviews and release governance.\nExperience communicating with clients and executives, including chairing steering committees and explaining technical status, risks and trade-offs in business terms.\nWorking awareness of data-protection obligations, including Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act and relevant laws in other client jurisdictions.\nExperience applying practical AI governance, including relevant Singapore Model AI Governance Frameworks, alongside applicable law and client policy.\nNice to have:\nExperience with delivery tools such as Jira, Azure DevOps or Confluence.\nRelevant agile or project-management certifications, such as Professional Scrum Master, Certified ScrumMaster, PMI Agile Certified Practitioner, SAFe Scrum Master, Project Management Professional (PMP) or PRINCE2 Practitioner.\nFamiliarity with delivery and governance approaches such as the V-model, PRINCE2, the PMI PMBOK Guide, SAFe and DevOps practices.\nUnderstanding of data and lakehouse platforms such as Databricks, Snowflake or Microsoft Fabric, and cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud.\nHealthcare and life-sciences delivery experience, including GxP environments, computerised system validation, or clinical and commercial data projects.\nExperience delivering finance-function or enterprise-resource-planning programmes.\nKnowledge of cyber security and IT governance frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework or COBIT.\nExperience with IT general controls and finance controls, including access, change management, IT operations, approvals, reconciliations and segregation of duties; SOX Section 404 experience is also useful.\nExperience transitioning solutions into managed services, including service-level design and IT service-management practices such as ITIL.\nWho thrives here:\nA delivery leader who stays close to engineering and can challenge estimates, read architectures and assess technical trade-offs with architects.\nSomeone who is comfortable managing uncertainty in AI projects through time-boxed experiments, evaluation-based acceptance criteria and early data-readiness checks.\nA clear, pragmatic communicator who builds trust with clients, engineers, partners and executive sponsors.\nA structured problem-solver who balances delivery quality, commercial discipline, security, privacy and client outcomes.\nWhy CFGI:\nThis role offers a rare combination of hands-on delivery leadership and a genuine commercial mandate within a fast-growing Data & AI practice, backed by a global firm with an established Data & Analytics capability and AI-enabled managed-services platform.\nYou will have exposure to the full commercial and delivery lifecycle - from the first executive conversation, through opportunity qualification and solution design, to signed engagement, governed implementation, and long-term client expansion.\nThe work spans sectors and the full Data & AI lifecycle, from strategy and readiness through architecture, governed build, automation, analytics, artificial intelligence, and managed operation.\nCFGI’s entrepreneurial model gives Managers meaningful client ownership, visibility with senior leadership, and the opportunity to help shape the growth of the Data & AI practice across APAC. As the practice scales, professionals who combine strong delivery, technical credibility, client relationships, and business-development success will be well positioned for continued progression within the firm.","description_format":"text","description_chars":9853,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Advisory, Valuation & Restructuring","Accounting & Bookkeeping Services","Tax Advisory & Preparation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T15:57:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":838,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T10:49:45Z","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":14187,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"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":672933},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=672933"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager"},{"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%2Fcfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager"},{"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%2Fcfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager"},{"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/cfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcfgi-data-ai-technical-project-manager"}]}
