We help organizations accelerate digital transformation through Cloud Migration & Modernization, DevOps & Platform Engineering, Managed Services, Security & Compliance, Data Analytics, and Artificial Intelligence.
As a leading AWS consulting partner, Comprinno works with startups, digital-native businesses, and enterprises to build scalable, secure, resilient, and high-performing technology platforms.
Our flagship SaaS platform, Tevico, provides intelligent CloudOps, FinOps, SecOps, governance, compliance, observability, and automation capabilities, helping organizations operate their cloud environments more efficiently.

About the Role
We are looking for a technically grounded and execution-focused Technical Project Manager – Data & GenAI to manage customer-facing Data, AI/ML, Generative AI, and Agentic AI engagements.
This is not a project-coordination-only role.
The Technical Project Manager will be accountable for taking engagements from requirements and planning through engineering execution, customer acceptance, and successful closure.
You will work closely with customers, Data Engineers, AI/ML Engineers, GenAI Engineers, Cloud Architects, Solution Architects, and other engineering teams to convert business objectives into executable delivery plans and drive those plans to completion.
The ideal candidate does not need to be the deepest AI engineer in the room but must possess sufficient technical depth to understand architectures, ask the right questions, identify dependencies and risks, challenge unrealistic assumptions, and communicate technical progress credibly to customers.
Key Responsibilities
1. End-to-End Project Ownership
- Own end-to-end delivery of Data, AI/ML, GenAI, and Agentic AI engagements.
- Translate agreed scope and business objectives into executable project plans, milestones, deliverables, and success criteria.
- Own project initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, customer acceptance, and closure.
- Build and maintain detailed delivery plans in JIRA.
- Track scope, schedule, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, and action items.
- Ensure clear ownership and deadlines for every critical deliverable.
- Proactively identify delivery risks and drive mitigation before they impact customers.
- Manage multiple concurrent projects where required.
- Ensure projects are delivered within committed scope, schedule, and quality expectations.
- Conduct project closure, retrospectives, and lessons-learned reviews.
2. Technical Project Management
- Develop sufficient understanding of each solution to manage technical delivery effectively.
- Understand and track components including:
- LLM-based applications
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Agentic AI workflows
- Prompt engineering
- Data ingestion and transformation
- Vector databases and knowledge bases
- APIs and application integrations
- AI/ML pipelines
- Model evaluation
- Cloud infrastructure
- Security and access requirements
- Read and understand architecture diagrams, workflows, dependencies, and deployment models.
- Work with engineering leads to identify technical dependencies, constraints, and critical-path items.
- Challenge unclear estimates, dependencies, assumptions, and acceptance criteria.
- Ensure engineering decisions and scope changes are appropriately documented.
The TPM is not expected to replace the Solution Architect or Engineering Lead, but must be technically capable of managing their execution.
3. GenAI Delivery Lifecycle
Drive projects through a structured lifecycle such as:
Discovery → Requirements → Architecture → Data Readiness → Build → Evaluate → Test → Deploy → Customer Acceptance → Production Handover
- Ensure business use cases and expected outcomes are clearly defined before development.
- Ensure data availability, quality, access, and dependencies are identified early.
- Establish clear acceptance criteria for AI outputs.
- Coordinate evaluation and testing of GenAI solutions.
- Track accuracy, quality, latency, cost, reliability, and other relevant solution metrics.
- Ensure POCs have clearly defined success criteria and closure decisions.
- Prevent POCs from becoming indefinite experimentation exercises.
- Drive successful transition from POC to production where applicable.
4. Customer & Stakeholder Management
- Act as the primary delivery point of contact for assigned customer engagements.
- Establish clear communication and governance with customers and internal stakeholders.
- Conduct:
- Project kick-offs
- Daily/weekly delivery reviews
- Sprint reviews
- Steering meetings
- Retrospectives
- Project closure reviews
- Communicate progress, risks, dependencies, decisions, and required customer actions transparently.
- Manage expectations around scope, timelines, dependencies, and technical constraints.
- Escalate critical risks early rather than after delivery commitments are impacted.
- Build trust through predictability, transparency, and execution discipline.
5. Agile & Engineering Execution
- Facilitate sprint planning, backlog refinement, stand-ups, reviews, and retrospectives.
- Ensure user stories and technical tasks have clear ownership and acceptance criteria.
- Track sprint commitments versus actual delivery.
- Identify recurring blockers and work with engineering leadership to resolve them.
- Maintain visibility into engineering capacity and dependencies.
- Improve predictability without creating unnecessary process overhead.
- Ensure Agile practices support delivery rather than becoming administrative ceremonies.
6. Scope & Change Management
- Maintain strong control over agreed project scope.
- Identify requests that constitute scope changes.
- Assess changes with engineering and business stakeholders for effort, timeline, cost, and delivery impact.
- Ensure customer expectations are reset before additional commitments are made.
- Maintain appropriate change-control documentation.
- Protect engineering teams from uncontrolled scope expansion while maintaining strong customer relationships.
7. Risk, Dependency & Escalation Management
Maintain active visibility into:
- Technical risks
- Data dependencies
- Customer dependencies
- Environment readiness
- Cloud access
- Third-party integrations
- Security approvals
- Engineering capacity
- Architecture decisions
- Scope changes
Maintain RAID logs where appropriate and drive risks to resolution.
Escalate issues with context, business impact, options, owner, and recommended action, rather than merely reporting problems.
8. Reporting & Governance
- Provide accurate project-health visibility to customers and Comprinno leadership.
- Maintain project dashboards and delivery metrics.
- Produce weekly and monthly reports appropriate to engagement duration.
- Track:
- Milestone completion
- Sprint predictability
- Open risks/issues
- Scope changes
- Customer dependencies
- Resource utilization
- Project health
- Ensure JIRA and Confluence remain accurate sources of delivery information.
- Maintain appropriate project artifacts, decisions, meeting records, and customer approvals.
9. Quality & Production Readiness
Work with engineering teams to ensure solutions are not considered complete merely because development has finished.
Track readiness across:
- Functional testing
- AI output/evaluation quality
- Performance
- Security
- Reliability
- Observability
- Documentation
- Deployment
- Knowledge transfer
- Customer acceptance
Ensure clear handover into production support or Managed Services where applicable.
10. PMO & Delivery Excellence
- Contribute to building Comprinno's Data & GenAI delivery playbooks.
- Develop reusable templates, checklists, dashboards, and governance frameworks.
- Capture lessons from completed engagements.
- Identify recurring causes of project delays and recommend systemic improvements.
- Build reusable frameworks for GenAI POCs and production engagements.
- Share knowledge and delivery practices across the PMO organization.
