Project Manager

We are seeking an experienced Project/Delivery Manager to lead the successful delivery of AI and data-driven technology initiatives in collaboration with Mediacorp stakeholders. The role spans the full lifecycle of AI and digital media projects, from use case definition and proof of concept through pilot, production rollout, and transition to operations, working alongside business owners, data and AI engineering teams, and external delivery partners. The successful candidate will be responsible for end-to-end project management, driving cross-functional teams, managing project governance, and ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with Mediacorp’s business objectives, responsible AI principles, and delivery standards.Experience Range – 9-15 yearsKey ResponsibilitiesProject Planning & ExecutionCollaborate with business, product, data, AI and engineering, architecture, and QA teams to define project scope, objectives, deliverables, dependencies, data requirements, and success criteria, including model performance, quality, and adoption measures.Develop and maintain comprehensive project plans, schedules, resource allocation, and milestone tracking.Manage the full project lifecycle from initiation and proof of concept through pilot, production deployment, transition to operations, and project closure.Monitor project progress against scope, schedule, and key deliverables — including data readiness, model development and evaluation, integration, and testing milestones — ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.Coordinate project change requests and assess their impact on project scope, timeline, cost, and resources, allowing for the iterative and experimental nature of AI development or digital media delivery.AI Delivery ManagementWork with business owners and technical teams to translate AI use cases into deliverable scope, with clear hypotheses, evaluation criteria, and go or no-go checkpoints between proof of concept, pilot, and production.Track data dependencies — data availability, quality, access approvals, and licensing — and escalate early where they place delivery or model performance at risk.Coordinate model evaluation and user acceptance activities with business and technical stakeholders, ensuring agreed accuracy, safety, and performance thresholds are met before production release.Ensure AI solutions are assessed for data privacy, security, intellectual property, bias, and human oversight requirements, and that the required approvals are documented before deployment.Manage expectations on AI outcomes, communicating clearly where results are exploratory, where confidence is limited, and where further data or iteration is required.Stakeholder & Team ManagementFacilitate project governance meetings, sprint reviews, steering committee meetings, and regular project status updates.Prepare and present project dashboards, status reports, and executive updates to stakeholders.Manage stakeholder expectations, priorities, and project communications throughout the project lifecycle.Coordinate with other project managers and cross-functional teams to manage dependencies and promote delivery best practices.Work closely with external vendors, AI platform and model providers, and delivery partners to monitor progress, resolve issues, and ensure contractual deliverables are met.Agile Delivery & Team LeadershipLead Agile delivery ceremonies including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and backlog refinement where applicable.Work closely with Product Owners to support backlog prioritization, release planning, and sprint execution.Track sprint progress, remove delivery impediments where appropriate, and work with delivery teams to ensure quality and timely completion of committed work.Coordinate BAU activities, production support, and minor enhancements — including post-deployment model monitoring, retraining, and prompt or configuration tuning — while ensuring minimal impact to project delivery and service availability.Risk, Issue & Dependency ManagementProactively identify, assess, and manage project risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies (RAID), including risks specific to AI delivery such as data quality, model drift, hallucination, and over-reliance on automated outputs.Maintain RAID logs and ensure timely follow-up and resolution of action items.Escalate critical issues and project blockers promptly, providing mitigation and recovery plans where necessary.Governance & ComplianceEnsure project documentation, governance artefacts, and reporting comply with Mediacorp’s project management standards, AI governance requirements, and audit requirements.Follow Mediacorp’s security, data protection, responsible AI, compliance, change management, and

media or intelligent automation initiatives.Experience delivering AI, machine learning, generative AI, data platform, or automation projects from proof of concept through to production is highly desirable.Working knowledge of AI delivery concepts — data pipelines and data readiness, model training and evaluation, generative AI and large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, prompt engineering, and MLOps — sufficient to plan work, challenge estimates, and manage technical trade-offs.Understanding of AI governance and responsible AI practices, including data privacy and PDPA obligations, model risk, bias, explainability, and intellectual property considerations.Strong practical experience with Agile and Scrum methodologies, including facilitating Agile ceremonies and managing iterative delivery.Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects, competing priorities, and cross-functional teams in a fast-paced environment.Excellent stakeholder management, communication, presentation, and negotiation skills across both business and technical audiences, including the ability to explain AI concepts and limitations to non-technical stakeholders.Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to proactively identify risks and drive issue resolution.Experience managing external vendors, system integrators, and delivery partners is an
